There was a great bit about this in a book, Portuguese Jesuits landed in China and were trying to ingratiate themselves with the civil society using some very highly educated people for the times on stuff like engineering on which Europe had a major edge over China, so they were becoming sought after people to talk with at social events. They adopted their dress, language etc. Then Dominicans began to land too from Spanish Philippines and they would go around with massive crosses handing out pamphlets about masturbation that absolutely rekt the whole carefully crafted image.

:marseygiggle:

They still remained fairly highly placed and used some convert governors to build up church significantly across different Chinese regions(as they were transferred around) but then there were doctrinal issues over ancestor worship, the Emperor said it was a secular act and local Jesuits agreed but Dominicans went back to Pope and he ultimately ruled it wasn't secular and couldn't be performed by Chinese Christians. This was directly opposing Emperor's order so the whole group were thrown out. Only going back in after the Opium War.

engineering on which Europe had a major edge over China

I disagree on this point but only slightly. The Europeans did have a slightly better understanding of engineering, but the main reason for the Europeans superiority in this regard was because of European warfare theory and science. The most well known example was the difference between European and Chinese defensive design which made it almost impossible for Chinese armies to besiege European forts, while European armies could overwhelm Chinese forts in half the time it would take to siege a European fort.

!Christians The papists paid Michelangelo to paint the minor Greek deity Charon (possibly a son of Uranos) as the ferryman who rows you across the River-Goddess Styx on the same Sistine Chapel wall featuring Jesus Christ.

In the Vatican museum they have a status of Perseus (son of Zeus) holding Medusa's head (daughter of two primordial sea gods), which they paid money for.

!Catholics the Liberal Protestants paid a Catholic artist $800k (because we're the only ones who understand art) to paint the major Roman (Greek) deities Neptune, Vulcan, Mercury and Minerva surrounding George Washington in heaven on the rotunda of the state building because they place enlightenment rationality and nationalism above God.

Why is it when we propose that their values are out of wack and their finger-pointing an exercise in vanity they all chimp out? At least Mormons like @ACA don't have cognitive dissonance about treating the Constitution and Declaration of Independence as divinely inspired, but I'm not sure how our iconoclastic !Christians can justify this one. :marseythinkorino:

They were a lot of Quakers and Unitarians right?

All over the place, there were a large number of Church of England/Episcopalians including Washington himself, Franklin was Methodist, most were Congregationalist (American Puritans). The Quaker Society of Friends actually formally denounced the revolution in 1775:

We have by repeated public advices and private admonitions, used our endeavours to dissuade the members of our religious society from joining with the public resolutions promoted and entered into by some of the people, which as we apprehended, so now we find have increased contention, and produced great groomercord and confusion.

Their opposition continued, and in 1776 they actually excommunicated (shunned? I'm not sure the correct terminology for them) those who paid taxes/participated in revolutionary violence:

It is our judgment [it laid down] that such who make religious profession with us, and do either openly or by connivance, pay any fine, penalty, or tax, in lieu of their personal services for carrying on war; or who do consent to, and allow their children, apprentices, or servants to act therein do thereby violate our Christian testimony, and by doing so manifest that they are not in religious fellowship with us.

So while yes some of the Founding Fathers were of a Quaker background, they were by no means devout. !historychads !christians

The Apotheosis of George Washington is such a ridiculous piece of art and it's absolutely hillarious to me that a good chunk of people, including the ones who comissioned it, just don't see anything wrong with it. But I guess it's hard to appreciate contextually appropriate art when one has murals depicting civil war in their churches lmao

They do it too when arguing with protestants about whether ecumenical councils are binding (not all protestants hold to decisions made by ecumenical councils, the catholic church does) where in one breathe they will say that decisions from councils are binding and then in another breathe do nothing but seethe endlessly about vatican II.
