[n-s 588] Well, I've always thought that your posts were nothing but a load of Bull. This just proves it.

What did your 576 have to do with Greek Fire?

[n-s 576] Tsk, tsk, tsk. Lying to the Pope. I'm sure he's rotting in hell for that one.

The African slave trade started when Antonio Gonçalves, sailing for Prince Henry the Navigator, returned to Portugal with some Africans. A tribute of slaves was given to the Pope. The Pope gave the rights to a large chunk of West Africa to Portugal.

And the Pope issued the Papal Bull that I provided which approved of enslaving the Saracens and other infidels.

The African slave trade was in business with an official blessing.

Are you suggesting that that official blessing was behind the alleged recognition of the confederate government? That the Union had no chance of Papal support because of the Emancipation Proclamation?
