It Came From God

The reason why I entered into a religious order is this: first, the great misery of the world, the wickedness of men, the rapes, the adulteries, the thefts, the pride, the idolatry, the vile curses, for the world has come to such a state that one can no longer find anyone who does good. [Independent RP Blog for Girolamo Savonarola]

Hating an /entire/ family is a little unrealistic.

I …I have yet to seen proof that one of them might be redeemable.

[frasavonarola]

Simple theme for a simple monk

[frasavonarola]

Do you truly despise the Medici as much as you say you do?

…They are Godless, all of them. Il Magnifico only blinds the people and leads them to their damnation.

You and I both know that I did not summon you for small talk nor to speak of scriptures. I hope you understand what our meeting entails.

You are treading on the grounds of heresy. I suggest you be careful

[frasavonarola]

You said as much, Holy Father, and I have heard you. 

[frasavonarola]

Why is Leonardo da Vinci going to hell?

It is likely due to his being a renowned heretic and sodomite.

[frasavonarola]

You are not wrong, Your Holiness.

[borgia-pope-blog]

Pray that it is the Lord and not the devil the whispers to your ear. Heresy is a sin with far greater consequences, Savonarola. I only wish for your salvation.

[frasavonarola]

Is this all that you wished to say to me, Holy Father?

[maestrodartea]

              “But I like the sin… I suppose that’s why they call it a test.                         Can you resist human nature and in so doing become                         more godlike?” { or an asshole. whichever came first.   a playful smirk tickled the edges of   leonardo’s lips. he rather enjoyed   being the devil’s advocate. }                                       ”What if you truly do repent, but the sin is far too strong                                         for you to abandon completely? How far does God’s                                         grace extend? How much is he willing to forgive?”

[frasavonarola]

This is exactly why he thought the world was vile and disgusting. This man right here, who embodied the very nature of Florence, of Italy, so consumed by their sin that they even test their very Creator.

"Your sin will destroy you and men like you--those so unwilling to learn of God's grace, so willing to cast yourself into the flames because of your blindness to truth. And such knowledge, the Lord provides." He narrowed his eyes at the man. "Will you accept it or not?"

[frasavonarola]

I have heard your request. But I will only continue to do what the Lord asks of me.

[borgia-pope-blog]

Even the devil can cite scriptures for his own gain.

[frasavonarola]

You are not wrong, Your Holiness.

[frasavonarola]

*his eyes never leave the Pope’s even as he rises* To what do I owe the honor of His Holiness’ call to meet me?

[borgia-pope-blog]

I have heard about your sermons, Savonarola. I have a simple request that you stop mentioning my family in them. 

/The tone started friendly but ended more like a command/

[frasavonarola]

I have heard your request. But I will only continue to do what the Lord asks of me.

[maestrodartea]

frasavonarola:

Here you are, in the house of God, in His Holy space, but are you willing to cleanse yourself of your sins, turn away from your vices and repent?

             ”Probably not. What’s the point of repenting if you’re just going                             to commit the same sin several more times?”

[frasavonarola]

The monk blinked, his expression unchanging. "Repenting does not mean simply walking into the confessional booth and saying a few Hail Mary's. Regret. Remorse. That is repentance. It means not going back to the sin."

Hm.

[frasavonarola]

Holy Father. *staring at him in the eyes as he takes a knee*

[borgia-pope-blog]

So finally we meet, Savonarola. I will not however have your lips upon the papal ring so simply rise.

[frasavonarola]

*his eyes never leave the Pope's even as he rises* To what do I owe the honor of His Holiness' call to meet me?

Citizens!

I have a proclamation from the Heavenly city!

THE MEDICI HAVE INVADED FLORENCE

[thebigbadlupo-deactivated201303]

thank u for accepting shahkulu as your lord and savoir

[frasavonarola]

[frasavonarola]

Citizens of Florence!

Do not be misled!  Your actions of greed and lust are sinful in the eyes of the Lord! But all can be saved--for Our Father Who Art in Heaven looks down upon his heavenly children with mercy and love!  Turn away from your sins--give penance and repent!  And He will find favor in you!

His day of Wrath is close upon us!  Take heed, my children!

[frasavonarola]

The only relationship that should be of concern is your relationship with God.
