Nathan,
1874CE - 1335"year/days" = 539CE - - - I don't understand how anyone can say the Roman Catholic Church began on this date. Can you expand on this a little?
In Barbour and Russell's chronology, the reasoning (or lack thereof) is as follows (from memory so don't shoot me if this is not wholly accurate): Until 539 AD, Rome was ruled by the "Ostrogothic monarchy", which had an arian christology. This year, this monarchy was overthrown and replaced by the trinitarian Papacy, thus starting a period of complete Satanic control of the world. 1260 years from this brings us to 1798/99, when this Papacy (Holy Roman Empire) was indeed overthrown (in a sense) by Napoleon, and 1335 years brings us to 1874/75. Larsguy: can you be so kind as to keep your crackpot chronology to your own threads? - JanEdited by - JanH on 12 July 2002 17:17:56
