Putin and Bonaparte, is it pure coincidence or is there some resemblance between these characters..?

in #religion6 years ago

Hi everybody!

Today I want to make some reflections on possible similarities between Vladimir Putin, current president of the Russian Federation and Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French and King of Italy for two periods.
Returning two centuries ago in history, let's remember that in 1801, Napoleon established the peace with which represented the oldest and most implacable enemy of the Revolution: the Catholic Church. Napoleon was not linked to any type of religious belief, he was an eighteenth-century rationalist who only could conceive religion as an element of convenience to preserve his government status. The example is very simple: in Egypt, Napoleon proclaimed himself a Muslim, in France he said he was Catholic. The point is that he realized the need to maintain good relations with the Catholic Church, as this gave stability to his regime. Therefore he developed a series of actions in favor of the restoration of the Catholic Church in France.
At present we have the example of President Putin, who, for his part, considers that the Orthodox Church is a "natural partner" of political power. This approach of the president represents an important ideological change regarding the communist era, a time when the Orthodox Church was the victim of a brutal repression.
Putin attaches great importance to the reunification of the Russian Orthodox Church and the presence of thousands of parishes in other countries, thus forming a unique network in defense of the culture and greatness of Russia.

Hope you had a fantastic day!
Thank you very much
Regards

(((Hola a todos, Hoy les quiero hacer algunas reflexiones sobre posibles semejanzas entre Vladimir Putin, actual presidente de la Federación Rusa y Napoleón Bonaparte, Emperador de los Franceses y Rey de Italia durante dos períodos.
Volviendo dos siglos atrás en la historia, recordemos que en 1801, Napoleón estableció la paz con el que representaba el más antiguo e implacable enemigo de la Revolución: la Iglesia católica. Napoleón no estaba vinculado a ningún tipo de creencia religiosa, pues era un racionalista del siglo XVIII que solo concebía la religión bajo conveniencia para su estatus de poder. El ejemplo es muy sencillo: en Egipto, Napoleón se proclamó musulmán, en Francia dijo ser católico. El punto es que se dio cuenta de la necesidad de mantener buenas relaciones con la Iglesia católica, ya que de esta forma daba estabilidad a su régimen. Por tanto desarrolló una serie de acciones en favor del restablecimiento de la iglesia católica en Francia.

En la actualidad tenemos el ejemplo del presidente Putin, quien por su parte, considera que la Iglesia ortodoxa es un “socio natural” del poder político. Este enfoque del presidente representa un cambio ideológico importante respecto a la era comunista, época en que la Iglesia ortodoxa fue víctima de una brutal represión.
Putin da mucha importancia a la reunificación de la iglesia ortodoxa rusa y a la presencia de miles de parroquias fuera del país, formando así una red única en defensa de la cultura y la grandeza de Rusia. Espero que hayan tenido un excelente dia. Muchas gracias. Mis saludos)))

The Sign of the Master of the Second Veil or Hidden Hand Sign, is a shared symbol, in spite of obviously not having definitive proofs, this gesture is associated with Masonic lodges.

El Signo del Maestro del Segundo Velo o Signo de mano oculta, es un símbolo compartido, a pesar de obviamente no tener pruebas definitivas, este gesto se asocia con las logias masónicas.

This is exactly what I was going to say. It is no question that these men are all / were all freemasons. You'll find this hand gesture all over the place when it comes to our top leaders.

hm Putin is addressing even USA and NATO as partners..

Interesting...

@gracesunflower Putin for peace and friendship on Earth!

There is a big difference between The Catholic Church and Orthodox Churches like the Russian one. The Catholic Church claims dominion over the rulers of countries while Ortodox Churches are classically under the local ruler. So the partnership Putin is going for would be much more uneven and one could already see how the Russian Orthodox Church is already an instrument of power for him and a way to advocate for limiting people's liberties which is a big thing he's doing to broaden and cement his own power.
