Peter Waldo

i mean i'm not gonna do it though

yeah oh i mean like uh peter abelard peter waldo uh bernard of clairvaux saint of the fucking church who like was so wrapped up in this thing that me and eleanor have been talking about on the side for a little while and in the crusade series that we're recording the sibylline mysteries which were like this like hoax uh thing cooked up and it was like the 6th or 7th century or something like that it was supposedly older and bernard thought that he was bringing about the fucking end times by getting excuse me conrad the third who was uh the he was he was never uh named the emperor because of a bunch of political stuff but like he was for all intents and purposes the holy roman emperor and And he thought by getting him to go on the second crusade that he had solved, like, the riddle that was going to bring about the end of the world.

And, I mean, trying to do that is, as far as I know, you're not supposed to be trying to engineer that because, you know, Jesus said he was coming back.

And it was the decision of the Godhead on when, you know, no man shall know the day or the hour, the thief in the night.

There were the pre-reformers that, that came along.

Peter Waldo in eleven seventy in Lyon.

He was a extremely wealthy man and decided that he wanted the Bible in his own language, and so he paid to have it translated into his language and read to him because he didn't know how to read.

And when he heard that you should give all your money for the poor, he took his vast fortune and he gave it away.
