Umm.... Hate to break this to you WaPo, but there has been quite a lot that has happened in the 1,200 years since. To say "When Christians anointed another political bully"
It would be more accurate to say when the “catholic hierarchy” anointed Charlemagne. Most of the “Christians’ were but mere serfs to the Catholic church. And frankly they hadn’t done much for the citizenry except extract money from them through the fear of going to hell.
True story, Charlemange was a conquering hero that helped give birth to France and most of Western Europe, by being a uniter after he conquered. Charlemagne is greatly revered in French history and as a national hero.
Just another WAPO writer that only took political science and learned to hate giving commoners the right to vote. Through reading Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and the Castro boys.
Did he build any walls anywhere....then he should be excommuniticated!!!!for he is not a Christian.
Thank you for bringing up Godwin’s law. I have read a couple of articles about it. Really interesting.
