The Good News

 After the death of the Messiah, Jesus was seen alive by many people.  He especially appeared among his disciples, who he taught the way of God and how we should all live together in love, peace and harmony.  It was well known that Jesus was a married man and that his wife was pregnant.  She was in fear for her life, as the Jews as well as the Romans wanted the end of the Messiah’s line for good.  They didn’t want a King to rule over the Jews and take over the Sanhedrin.  The Roman Empire wanted no competition from a man, who some said would head an army to destroy the Roman Empire.

 The followers of Christ became known as Christians and they worshiped and prayed carrying out their faith in secret.  They buried their dead in Catacombs underneath Rome itself, but eventually one of the Roman Emperors called Constantine saw his political course to adopt Christianity, as the official Roman religion and instead of worshiping many gods, as they had been doing, they now took only one under their control.  He, under the Roman Catholic Church, gave it the earthly power it needed.  Instead of following the teachings of Jesus Christ, they became hungry to keep their power and wealth.

 There followed a uniting of the smaller local gatherings, which, when empowered by the new hierarchy of Bishops, the single message that came was solely out of Rome.  A Pope headed the Church and there were Bishops and Archbishops to interpret the words of the Gospels that had been allowed and chosen as genuine.  Others were burned or destroyed by hired armies and women were massacred by the Inquisition.  Far from being the Kingdom of Love, the Roman Catholic Church was intent in preserving their power and wealth for themselves.  Fornication became a sin and Jesus was wrongly branded as being celibate.  This meant all priests had to be celibate so leaving a powerful way for abuse to be carried out against children and women, who were equally abused as sinners.

 This Church became so fearful of women, because they knew that Jesus was married and after his death, his wife fled from Rome.  She made her way to France, where she had a baby daughter and they taught the teachings of Jesus in the south-west France, where there are many churches and buildings that testify to these things.  The Royal line based on the daughter’s marriage continued the one line that was what the Church still feared.  Even after hundreds of years there was the slaughter of the wealthy Crusaders, who invented banking and built great Cathedrals.  Their treasure was never found but they worshiped the Magdalene and honored her as the bride of Christ.
