sf49rox, I think you should have referenced the entire paragraph you cut and paste from the Wiki article on albinism, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albinism\n\nThere are several types of albinism, but if you mean who first saw a person with albinism, then it would be the Portuguese invaders who came to Africa, and called the dark persons Negros (black men) and the lighter ones Albinos (White men), thinking they were two separate races.

There are two men named Albert known as Saints.  I think Albert Magnus the Dominican friar from the 13th century is the one most often refered to as "the great".  \n\nHe was famous for promoting the peaceful coexistence of science and religion.  He was also the first Dark Ages scholar to reapply Aristotle's teachings to medieval life.  \n\nI'll include a few links for you to get started.  Good luck with your research.\n\nRegards, \n\nArmus

They were Jews. The term Christians didn't come about until the pagans in the city of Antioch coined it as a derogatory term for those religious people who acted like they were "little Christs" which is the meaning of that term.\n\n"So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.  Acts 11:25-26

There was no such person as Yeshua ben Nazareb.  It is a fictional being, invented by committee 1700 years ago, a retelling of other "saviours" from other religions.  I'll borrow my own words from another posting:\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ahd8J7EE5iH6xqL_.MlWehLsy6IX?qid=1006060402294\n----------------------------------------\nThe word "christ" is a corruption of the ancient Greek word "christos", or saviour, and that word is itself a corruption of the Hindu god Krishna.\n\nThere have been more than a dozen "saviours" predating christian mythology, most of them borrowing from each other. You'll also notice that their years of origin go east (oldest) to west (newest), following the "Silk Road" from China between 600 BCE (2600 years ago) until 200 CE.\n\nKrishna\nBuddha\nOsiris \nMithras\nDionysus\nHeracles\n\nAmong many others. Most were born shortly after the winter solstice (Dec. 22), most were born to virgins screwed by a "god", and most "suffered" before they "died" and "went to heaven". \n\nIt's the same stupid fairy tale, regurgitated and retold with local bits added on as it went place to place.\n----------------------------------------\n\nHere's question you won't have an answer for: If you jeebus was such a troublemaker in the land of Palestine, why do the Roman's written records of their occupation make no mention of such a person nor do the dozens of writers from that time, whose words we still have today (eg. Pliny the Elder), not make any mention of such a person?\n\nNobody talked about "jeebus" because "jeebus" wasn't there.  No such person ever existed.

Opposing factions in German and Italian politics during the Middle Ages. The terms Guelph (see Welf dynasty) and Ghibelline (from Waiblingen, the castle of the Welfs' Hohenstaufen opponents) first acquired significance in Italy during the reign of the Hohenstaufen emperor Frederick I Barbarossa, who tried to assert imperial authority over northern Italy and was opposed by Pope Alexander III. The split between the Guelphs, who sided with the papacy, and the Ghibellines, who were sympathetic to the Holy Roman emperors, contributed to chronic strife in the cities of northern Italy in the 13th–14th century,

The PHARISEES=Who Were The Pharisees?\n\nOf the three major religious societies of Judaism at the time of the New Testament (the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Essenes), the Pharisees were often the most vocal and influential. The origin of the Pharisees is uncertain, but their movement is believed to have grown from the Assideans (i.e. the "pious"), who began in the time of the Maccabean Revolt (see The Maccabees) against the Greek/Syrian ruler Antiochus IV, or "Antiochus Epiphanes," around 165 B.C. It was during that roughly 4 centuries between the end of the Old Testament record and the birth of Jesus Christ, prior to the rise of the Roman empire (see Ancient Empires - Rome), that the idolatrous Greek influence was at its peak in Jerusalem (see Ancient Empires - Greece, The Ptolemies and The Seleucids). The first direct mention of the Pharisees was by the Jewish/Roman historian Flavius Josephus in describing the three sects, or schools, into which the Jews were divided in 145 B.C.\n The name Pharisee in its Hebrew form means separatists, or the separated ones. They were also known as chasidim, which means loyal to God, or loved of God - extremely ironic in view of the fact that by His time, they made themselves the most bitter, and deadly, opponents of Jesus Christ and His message.\n\nThe Pharisees perhaps meant to obey God, but eventually they became so devoted and extremist in very limited parts of The Law (plus all that they themselves added to it), that they became blind to The Messiah when He was in their very midst. They saw His miracles, they heard His Words, but instead of receiving it with joy, they did all that they could to stop Him - eventually to the point of getting Him killed because He truthfully claimed to be the Son of God.

no, not really because most of the senior Roman Catholic curia during the Renaissance were humanists and more than likely they were at the very least agnostics. they probably understood and accepted what Galileo said was true, but any attack on the dogma of the catholic church also affected its secular political power. religious fanatics most resemble the witch burners, immersed in unshakable superstition and ignorance. the people who most resemble those who persecuted Galileo are the politicians who mouth religious conviction in order to gain or retain power.
