Catholic:
Nicaea Councils were held with many purposes in mind, namely to formulate a Paternal control of the Church and Society in general. Men ruled the world, and women could not, would not ever. How was this achieved and why did it happen?
Myth and good scholastic work found the center of all things at that time, the church was under siege, challenged by a historic but provable myth, that the “church” was not paternal but rather intended to be maternal in nature. The founder of the church was surrounded by worthy followers of the feminine branch of humanity. His very nature and philosophy were maternal in nature, basing the true and greatest of laws upon love for one another in respect and charity bound. This bold pronouncement flowed to the church in Europe with explosive results. Men and Women Religious Groups grew in numbers and influence throughout Euro-Asia and the Continents. The very survival of European Public Authority and their puppet the “church” was challenged by a faith that encompassed all humans, all genders, races, and seers alike.
Kings, Nobles, Generals, Popes, and their Cardinals were in fear of the great masses of believers waiting for their “savior” to appear and save them all in time. The wealth of those who ruled, and the very nations mentioned were at risk of being depleted. What would the “church” do to placate the powerful and also the socially and economically lowly too?
The message of the early church was reimagined. Salvation was taken from the members of the church and placed into the hands of the clergy, cardinals, and Pope, who ruled their church at the bequest of the Emperor and his Clan. Personal salvation was institutionalized, and the power and influence of the feminine were brutally managed. At this time, men ruled. That would not change.
a. Women of natural education, who fell away from the “church” were called harlots, devil worshippers, and witches. They were over three hundred years tortured, murdered, and vilified by the public authorities and the church.
b. The mass of religious monks, friars, and teachers, along with the many unemployed were directed towards a common enemy, first nations that were not allied to the Empire, and then against a religion competing for followers in Europe, Islam. So the many Crusades were gifted to European history.
c. Like in a communist state, if you were a member of the church in good standing, you could acquire housing, employment, and social advancement. If you displeased the clergy, and public authorities, you suffered their punishments. So the church gifted European history with “the great inquisition”. Like the purges of Stalin, the church looked for anyone that was different in appearance, thought, and prayer, only to punish them, while taking away their personal property too.
d. Satan gained a great deal of authority from these proceedings. Once a trickster on your shoulder, or within a dream, it was now placed as an equal to God “Himself”. There was now a supreme good vs a supreme evil. The lowly Angel that challenged his father was now a monster with evil intent spawning upon the world, with only the church as its opponent.
Now a person of faith could only go to “heaven” through the church. The only protector of a faithful person challenged by evil was the church. A church ruled in proxy to the Empire’s authority. All was well for mankind.
The church grew in power and influence, with the feminine touch felt too. Women of wealth built churches for their husband’s soul safety to be ensured. Many religious groups were formed, to teach, and serve the clergy and church where ever needed. Multiple female martyrs passed through history as well, some sainted for their allegiance to the institution they served. The deaths of hundreds of thousands of women tortured and murdered through the centuries became nothing more than footnotes studied by schoolchildren alike. The church’s history is filled with horrors that challenge a hard-minded person indeed. Never did the church be called to account for its transgressions, or be transparent in the least of ways. Aboriginal Peoples though out the globe know this well. It’s always easier to do wrong, and say sorry later. A Christian proverb indeed.
Before “You” pass away from this life Lady Fair, challenge those who abuse, thieve and manipulate your sisters each day. Call for, Demand Transparency, Accountability, and Blood(figuratively) from those who Oppress, Transgress, and Halt Your Socially Equal Progress.
Who is Lady Fair? It’s a Mother, Sister, Aunt, and feminine friend too. It’s the Female “God” within each and every one of you.

“Here comes the woman
with the look in her eyes,
Raised in denial
with flesh and service on her mind.
Words are weapons, sharper than knives,
which makes you wonder how the other half die.
Here comes the man
with the lustful look in his eye.
Fed on nothing but blind pride.
Look at them go
Look at them kick,
Makes you wonder how the other half lives”.
Every single one of us has a devil inside.
It’s our job to manage what’s inside.
