@MamelaFialloFlo The Enlightenment didn't produce as many scientists as the media claims. Their biggest mathematician Euler was a Christian. So it was a bunch of philosophers talking about reason and science, but didn't do much real science.
@GFin17127296@hardflics@JohnTcena70614 Why is Arabic calligraphy anti-Christian of all things? Is Chinese calligraphy anti-Christian too? It's just fancy writing like the Gothic scripts.
@no_noonono30181@hdpayens No Kepler wasn't banned by the Catholic Church. Idk about the Lutherans. Btw if you have read Kepler he talked about the planets' revolution as music of the heavens. That's pretty out there don't you think, but still no ban.
@no_noonono30181@hdpayens Kepler's model was the right one, Galileo's wasn't. He insulted the Pope who endorsed him btw. He also failed to defend his model mathematically and was banned from teaching it as facts rightfully. Corpenicus was perfectly fine.
The persecution of Catholic missionaries by Nguyen emperors is often emphasized, though truthfully their bark was worse than their bite. However, there were also those to whom the Church owes a degree of gratitude & while they are largely forgotten, they should not be. ..cont👉🏻

@Imperalist58481@ThierryTout I had to laugh at the French wushu. No different from the so called "Uncle Ho's martial arts" performed by Vietnamese communist soldiers. It wasn't anything grand, but a dumbed down version of Tai-chi because he wasn't smart enough to learn the original.
@CaudilloDahl On second thought, isn't the wisdom of men foolishness to God? Also no creator of AI ever said that unless they want to sell you something.
married after the death of his first wife. His son Michel Đức Chaigneau published a memoir called Souvenirs de Hue. He told a story where he called Gia Long "son of Heaven", which Gia Long laughed and replied him with a detailed account of the mating process.
Jean-Baptiste Chaigneau (1769-1832) was a French sailor and adventurer who helped Emperor Gia Long win back his throne and found the Nguyen dynasty. He married a Vietnamese Catholic wife, and dressed in a pattern reserved for the Imperial family in this painting.
He was also a French Royalist who opposed the Revolution. In 1821 he returned to Vietnam to negotiate for more trade privileges, but the isolationist, anti-French Minh Mang told him to leave or commit suicide, so he left in 1824 with his new wife, a French-Vietnamese girl whom he
