1. #Pope I am writing this thread not just for you @Jiixsa but for others who may be interested.. The Vatican was NEVER the HQ or palace of the Pope earlier.. The Pope was the ruler of vast territories & much of what is Italy today..
2. #Pope ruled much of what is Italy today... and his huge Papal States Palace was in Rome.. and not in the Vatican.. After Islamists invaded parts of Europe.. esp Spain, Sicily, South Italy etc... The Pope was instrumental in the Crusades..
3. #Pope.. The Pope, in short, was the ruler of a very vast Catholic Kingdom & not Vatican.. Over many wars and the rebellions in Italy.. the Pope was exiled from Rome.. the Church and State became separated.. I think around 1846 Pope was exiled to Vatican
4. #Pope Consequently, the Pope had no kingdom, nor ruled anything... It was after much protracted negotiations that Italian rulers gave Vatican as a separate State for the Pope in 1929.. A city thats not even 1/10th of Central Park in NY..
5. #Pope Thus, the Pope, once a big ruler is reduced to a mere figurehead of Catholics practically locked up in the Vatican.. thats all.. with no powers.. He has no army and is guarded by few Police from Swiss, French, Italians..
6. #Pope However, Pope did play an important role in driving out Islamists from Europe.. In India.. morons who negotiated Independence were brainless gasoles who had little understanding of Thooks.. Thats why India is a nucking mess.. Got it @Jiixsa?... LOL! END OF STORY..
The Pope is still the Head of the Catholics around the world.. And Hitler was a Catholic who cleansed Jews as his "Christian Duty" & the Pope supported him.. the rest of it all is modern criminality..
FYI.. Pope still has properties in Italy.. those properties dont have to pay IT.. not everything you allude is correct.. When exiled.. the Pope didnt have much money.. Italy doled him.. All the Fincrimes started after Hitler or in 19th/20th Century..
And in my thread.. I am addressing the Q you asked @Jiixsa .. Why theres no temple or mosque in Vatican.. because it was given as the preserve of the Catholic Head's Kingdom.. I dont think theres enough space to build anything either..
Hahaha.. You have no measure of how stupid Hindus can be... Whether you like Christianity or Islam.. their followers are kattar faithfuls.. Look at the Ayodhya mosque given in lieu of Ram Mandir.. 40% donations for that came from Hindus.. Beat that!
If you should go
Que sera mi vida.
How I'm gonna live without your love
if ever you should go.
Que sera mi vida.
How I'm gonna find my way alone
if ever you should go.
Hahhaa... Good one.. But Hindi song.. not Kannadian one... LOL!....
That wasnt straightforward translation like the usual one... else @man_8_shree would have answered instantly... Its a bit tricky... The 2 songs in this vid.. Hahaha.. Enjoy.. @krishnpria3@DrlathaC ...
While @KirtiAzaad played some cricket.. he was a very Below-Average. Its funny to see him commenting on current cricketers bec of some failures.. In the 1983 WC Finals.. Azaad was the ONLY jerk that ended up with a ZERO in both batting & bowling even as India won @IndiaToday
This @KirtiAzaad was in the Indian team probably because of political influence.. otherwise his playing record is as bad as the acting of Uday Chopra or Aalia Bhatt...
In that 1983 final... @RaviShastriOfc was dropped to include this @KirtiAzaad .. Ravi Shastri is any day a better all-rounder than Azaad... Indian teams have been making funny selections for long.. Mohinder A called the selectors "A bunch of jokers".. LOL!
1/3.. #FridayFunfax.. The full name of the movie is "A kiss before dying".. The 1991 version was a remake of the 1956 version of the same name in Hollywood... The much acclaimed "Baazigar" of @iamsrk was just a cheap copy of the Matt Dillon character..
2/3.. #FridayFunfax Of course, @kamaalrkhan is not entirely accurate. "Baazigar" was not a total copy.. You see.. Matt Dillion uses a computer while @iamsrk uses the good old typewriter. So there is indeed some inspirational modification in cheap Bollywood
3/3.. #FridayFunfax.. @kamaalrkhan is also inaccurate when he says "Baazigar" started the cheap copy problem. Bollywood has been a cheap CopyCat since the 1960s.. And Copyright existed way back.. the first movie to be sued for c/r was "Manoranjan" (1974)..
1/4.. Its one of the most compelling stories that young children with ambitions MUST LEARN.. The #Beatles story.. In 1964 American Journo Larry Kane travelled with the Beatles shows. He once asked their manager Brian Epstein.. "When will this bubble burst? When will it end?"
2/4.. Brian Epstein (Centre) answered him profoundly... and to this day his words hold good.. "Kids in 21st century will listen to the Beatles".. Epstein died very young at around 33 but by that age he had created a monster mania across the world..
3/4.. Believe it or not... Even 50 years since the Beatles had broken up... the continued to sell by the millions.. In 2020 they topped the album charts..
