Money, Religion and State
From: http://www.freedomdomain.com/language.html (no longer appears to be online)
The Wall Street of London is "Lombard Street". The French name for "money lender" is "Lombard". The Lombards came from Florence and Venice. These cities held fabulous wealth in the Middle Ages. It was the Lombards that started the Popes up in temporal wealth. Although professing Christianity, at times, it seems the Lombards held their former Pagan beliefs, if there were any beliefs outside money and should they be left with their money, any religion would do.
In early times the Temple combined wealth and religion, the Temples were the banks and such a Temple as formerly stood on the site of St. Paul's Cathedral was said to have been a Phoenician Temple and banking house.
The area, near to St Paul's Cathederal (Lombard Street), is still called the Temple to this day!
The word "Money" is derived from "Moneta" - the surname of "Juno". Coins were minted by the Romans in the Temple of Juno.
Money and religion went into the dark ages together and came out seperate. Rome held control in religion, London ruled money. The Church even forbade interest charging. It is the belief of the author that Christianity never converted money.
In all the religious wars of the middle ages, the crusades etc., Paganism held the money. When Rome conqupred Jerusalem the first time, the millions found in the Temple were left there. When Jehovah had trouble with the Priests of Jerusalem he d Shisbak take the Temple money to Egypt.
It must be remembered all money and religion were kept together until the time of Constantine, who himself was a Pagan until converted. When Christianity sent its mighty forces northward after winning the Emperor, the Pagan lords must have concealed vast treasures of wealth, which indeed may have brought on the Dark Ages.
The Renaissance was a revival of the Pagan Greek world and was built with Pagan money, due to a truce between religion and money being made between the Lombards and the Pope after the Lombards had threatened Rome in 726. Tuitprand, the Lombard, presented the Pope with some conquored towns that laid the foundations for the Papal temporal Sovereignty and which was to have a profound influence upon the history of Italy but what the Pope gave Tuitprand in return is not said.
Was it the Lombard Pagan money power? Later, Florence was the wealthiest city in the world and was the first city to rescue the Grecian culture from oblivion. Florence was also the money changing center of the world.
This money power of the Pagans, the Lombards, supposedly came in 568 from the upper lands of the "Elbe", a truly Pagan territory. The Lombards were never a majority and their power was strong and scattered going into Portugal, France and England.
