  • i think all popes are interested in astronomy and how the stars are organized by God
  • I'm not sure popes are "coronated", yo. ;-)
  • Julius II choose his coronation date astrologically.
  • The New Catholic Encyclopedia reveals that “astrology was used by Pope Julius II [1503-1513] to set the day of his coronation and by Paul III [1534-1549] to determine the proper hour for every Consistory. [Both popes were contemporaneous with Nostradamus] Astrology pervaded European culture just as it had the culture of the Roman Empire, and, though official Church doctrine opposed it, no one attacked the whole manner of thinking that lay behind it.”
  • No wonder the Vatican is called the great whore. My 2 cents.
