Call upon the wrath of god on ye (Other) by Imago

Call upon the wrath of god on ye who see fit to tamper with such purity of that which once lost can not be found for such diseased ticks must be picked and squashed between ones fingers lest they spread their scurge upon that fertil ground for once the soil is soured within all fruit it bare the disease lingers no blooms we see from those deflowered call upon the wrath of god for the wrath of god is truth and it maybe the only cure call upon the wrath of god and the seed you sow may grow and bloom into something that is pure

This pope gave up his robes
Celestine V didn't want to be pope and tried to retire to monastery

By Tony Staley
Compass Editor

St. Celestine V
When: 1210-1296

Where: Italy

What: Founder of an order of monks and pope

Canonized: 1313

Feast: May 19



An old saying warns: Be careful what you ask for, you might get it. St. Celestine V may have wished he had heeded that warning.

As the abbot of an order of monks, he told the College of Cardinals to stop their fighting, which had gone on for two years, and elect a new pope. If they didn't, he warned, he would call the wrath of God down upon them. So on July 5, 1294, the cardinals elected the 84-year-old abbot as the new pope.
