Benedict the First

[Vivian P]

I was watching the History Channel the other week with my Uncle Carl, and I meant to say something about this then, but for various reasons, I didn't get around to it.
I learned something I think everyone here might find very interesting about Benedict the First(the Pope).
When he went to his first abbey and he was made the head honcho, he laid down such strict rules that the people who put him in the position of power he was in decided they didn't like his rules and planned on killing him. Now granted, most of the monks there were from aristocrasy and weren't used to being treated like servants (I don't blame them) but when they tried to kill him the first time, they poisoned his drink. While he was praying over it just before supper, it allegedly shattered. The second time they poisoned his bread and just before he was going to eat, it's collaborated in different diaries that a "raven swooped down and carried the loaf of bread away".
I'm sure all of you know that the Raven is a symbol of Father, so I just thought it was interesting that a raven would save the first pope of the Catholic church. Or maybe it was coincidence. It just proves to me how corrupt the catholic church is. I told my dad about it and he said "This is why I say fuck the catholics."
Just thought I'd share that.

Thanks for sharing. I think you'll find it's an invented tale though, an outright lie to make him appear "saintly" and under the direct protection of his "god". They have a trainload of silly tricks to dupe the populace who have bought into it for centuries.

There was a priest, originally from Ireland or of Irish extraction, put in charge of a community of Russian immigrants in Saskatchewan, Canada, and in the course of a conversation with someone more educated than his regular run of parishioners he said, "You can tell these Russian cattle anything." Unfortunately, he was right: they were peasant people who would swallow and follow anything an "authority figure" blurted out, especially when it wore a Roman collar. Talk about contempt for his "flock" of sheeple!
