In 352 A.D., the Roman Emperor Constantine convened the Council of Nicea in what is now Turkey, to settle the doctrine of the Christian Church, which was solely the Catholic Church.
Invitations were sent to all bishops across the vast Roman Empire, and many attended. The result was an inflexible doctrine, modelled largely upon the writings of the Greek philosophers, Plato and Aristotle, which was enforced across the Christian world by the popes, who controlled the monarchs.
Two philosophers who disagreed with the infallible doctrine that the earth is the centre of the universe, Giordano Bruno and Galileo Galilei, were dealt with harshly

It is over 250 years since Captain Cook's discovery of the east coast of Australia and it's worth asking ... what was Cook doing here?
He certainly wasn't looking for Australia (or New Holland as it was then known) as Europeans had known it existed since the 1500's.
Like many other Europeans before him, Cook was searching for the fabled land of Terra Australis.
This article was published back in May 2021. It is interesting to re read it, given recent events.
Bombs are falling, missiles are flying, and people are dying in the Middle East. As I write this, over 4,100 rockets have fallen on Israel from the “Palestinians” in Gaza and Lebanon. The long-range rockets that can hit Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and the Ben-Gurion Airport originated in Iran, which is the origin of the rocket technology.
Biden and what’s-her-name Harris have managed to destroy our economy, terrorize everyone with unproven vaccines (not safe and effective but dirty and dangerous), and destroyed the relative peace in the Middle East. The Hill opined, “Just over 100 days into office, President Joe Biden has drawn America’s enemies — Iran and its terror proxies — close to the U.S. administration, all while distancing from U.S. allies Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the peacemaking Gulf Arab states.”
The obvious is—well—obvious that Biden and Company are worthless, gutless, mindless, spineless, and toothless. Of course, I may be wrong since I don’t know if they are toothless.

How have we come to this mess in the Middle East?
The strange thing is that my mind immediately went to that figure of historical noteriety , Lawrence of Arabia.
It is probably accepted that most kids today wouldn't have a clue who we was, but most of us from the era who actually got taught things other than gender fluidity in school , have heard of this imposing figure. The British gentleman who rode around the desert with his blue eyes and, today, would have had more fans on social media than Taylor Swift.
So who was he?
As Israel is under attack, President Biden throws a party. At the same time, Prime Minister Albanese visits a flower show.
You simply cannot make this sort of thing up.
We are facing the most divisive time in our nation's history here in Australia and the world is at breaking point.
Where is the leadership? Oh, that's right. He is visiting a flower show, speaking at a mosque and spruiking racial division.
It is time to let us unite as Patriots and put division behind us.
Following the overturning of Roe v Wade on 24th of June 2022, it is interesting to reflect on the history of abortion law through history.
There are basically two systems of law in the world, the common law and civil law.
The common law arose in England following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. It was so known because it was “common" to the King's courts and was based upon the precedence of previous judicial decisions, known as the Latin doctrine of“stare decisis"(to stand by that which is decided).
'Music and women I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.' That's what Englishman, Samuel Pepys, (definitely a man after my own heart) wrote in his diary during the 1660s.
Whenever I see engravings or paintings of those lavish, seventeenth century dining scenes, I wish I could be there, transported back through the annals of time. I'd like to be one of the guests for the evening, join the conversation, taste the food, enjoy the wine and hear the music. But, only for the evening.
Everything was different in those days; living standards, transportation, manners and particularly, the food. We learn this from reading journals of the time and those of Samuel Pepys describe the era quite well, particularly as he was such an articulate and literate character.
Australia has become increasingly culturally diverse and I find it particularly confusing that, at a time we are bringing in hundreds of thousands of migrants from other countries, we are actively promoting the handover of Australia to Aboriginals.
How does that work out?
Our new arrivals must find it hard to understand: are they welcome here, or will they, in decades to come, be seen as invaders.... ?
It took me back to a time, a few years ago, that Redhead, my Mum, had a conversation with an Indian man when she called an online service provider to update her credit card details.

The ballot sheet at the imminent referendum will contain the proposed change to the Constitution followed by the question: A Proposed Law: to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. Do you approve this proposed alteration? Yes or no
That raises the question―what defines an Aboriginal? Is an Aboriginal limited to a full-blood Native, or to a person with a specified minimum amount of Native DNA? The answer is no. To be considered an Aboriginal, a person may have any amount of Native DNA, as held by Justice Deane in the High Court 1983 Tasmanian Dams Case:
By "Australian Aboriginal" I mean, in accordance with what I understand to be the conventional meaning of that term, a person of Aboriginal descent, albeit mixed, who identifies himself as such and who is recognized by the Aboriginal community as an Aboriginal.
So “Aboriginal” includes all the one or two percenters of Native DNA behind all the push by the Marxists/Fabians to take over our country.
The following historically correct narrative describes the Natives of Western Australia by reference to a good man, Rosendo Salvado.(From this point on, “Aboriginal” refers to a full-blood Native).
Daniel Andrews resignation was greeted with unbounded joy by most Victorians. I cannot recall any defeated leader receiving the rapturopus approval on his/her demise. Not even Whitlam attracted so much vitriol and relief from the populace at large. The public demonstrations at Parliament House were unprecedented.
The more important question is what happens next?
YouTube initiated a ban on commentator Russell Brand on last week that prohibits the celebrity from making money on its platform following accusations of sexual assault against the British comedian.
In her new book 'You Will Own Nothing,' the author Carol Roth writes of a new financial world that's emerging in which governments and corporations decide what behaviors are good and what behaviors are bad.
