Episode 58: Gregory The Great, Charlemagne & Catholic Superstition
In this second of three episodes with Pastor Greg Axe we focus our attention to two key popes leading up to the Dark Ages. We first look at Gregory the Great's approval of earlier founded Catholic doctrines of the Eucharist, Purgatory & Masses for the Dead. We see how the practice of these non-biblical doctrines opened the people of the empire to papal-based authoritarian rule. Lastly, we see how Pope Charlemagne was gifted the rule over a strategic military buffer zone from Milan to Rome after bloodshed & a falsified deed under the name of Constantine.
