Didn't his spokesman say it wasn't Rush who wrote this?
And that office was created in 536 AD by Justinian I,
the eastern Roman emperor in his attempt to reunite the west and the east,
so he could control the whole thing.
He removed Silverius, the bishop of Rome,
and replaced him with Vigilius who was his puppet.
Justinian called it the "bishop of bishops".
Cain started it.
He and his sons believed themselves to be divine reincarnations of what they believed was god,
the sun god.
They jealously guarded their bloodline,
but when there was too much inbreeding,
they started capturing the daughters of the others to inject new blood,
to purify it.
After Cain and his people of pre-flood Sumer had returned to Egypt and captured what would come later to be called "Egypt",
the southern portion,
they then attacked the northern portion,
capturing it and putting to death the elders of ten tribes descended from the other sons of Adam.
They forced a tax on the people,
and a part of that tax was a supply of elders' daughters.
These daughters were associated with the bee symbol in proto Egypt.
The idea was based on Cain and his sons' claim of divinity/divine status.
One lie bred more lies,
and death and destruction,
as well as slavery.
In time,
other cultures adopted it,
even Israel.
One should recall it wasn't God who called for a line of kings in Israel,
but they themselves who demanded they be led by a king as all other nations,
even though God was supposed to be their King,
a King who is eternal.
This all occurred during the time of Samuel,
when they were led by judges which had no line of succession.
God let them have what they wanted to show them the foolishness of their corrupt way.
