For three centuries after Jesus' death
the early Christians were vegetarian...
until a secular emperor Constantine
appointed a council which removed Jesus'
Essene vegetarian quotes from the Bible.
For 5 centuries many early Christian
church fathers taught reincarnation,
until a secular emperor, Justinian,
arrested Pope Vigilius for allowing
such teachings... two examples of how
a corrupt state dilutes spiritual power.
