If I had hours and hours of time on my hands to research something, it wouldn't be this.

Is there a reason all this Nostradamus crap couldn't go in one thread?

I don't get it. Is this a joke thread? If so what's the punch line?

No, it really doesn't. You see, it's like this: Nostradamus is crap. He didn't predict the future. No one has ever deciphered anything he wrote to predict the future. People like you twist and mangle his writing to fit things that have already happened. This is not clever or interesting.

Having been to both Narbonne and Carcassonne several times, it's hard to imagine that happening these days. Perhaps he was speaking out of his...er...something or other.

Then you're trolling...
Is it your intention to throw them out once a day in a separate thread in the hope that someone can't perfectly refute your interpretation and therefore you can point to that thread and declare some pathetic victory? Why not just post the one that you think has the best evidence that he actually predicted some future event? Poop or get off the pot. |

Not every day.. I have 50 or so... most of the time im pretty lazy... I know I should be MORE OBTUSE. More CONCENTRATED, less flawed. To accomplish the necissary.. but--- Im still learning.
Nostradamus writes... I do not say that the knowledge of this matter cannot yet impress itself upon your young mind.. Otherwords im still learning with this young little brain of mine. It dose impresss me... but at the same time, its very sad sometimes. |

My dear friend, you seem to have misread the Introduction of the book! Let me enlighten you:

Well, I would strongly recommend putting this area of study aside for a while and doing something more practical and og long-term use in your life; something which will bring you into the company of people with widely different interests and hobbies ... such as square dancing, a reading group, a rambling/country walking group or something? I don't think I have read whether you are still of school age or older.

In the Corbičres (near Narbonne), on the 12th calends of June 1093, Vicount Aymeric II of Narbonne authorised a community of monks to live in a protected, isolated site in the foothills {accroché au Massif des Corbičres} of the Pyrénées (near to today's Spanish border). Called Fontfroide, it lay at the confluence of two cold, bolder-strewn, rushing mountain streams, from which the site derives its name. This community observed the rules of Saint Benoît, the only Order at the time, practiced in the west. Construction on the permanent Abbey began some 50 years later (cloisters and chapter house), after the group affiliated with the Order of Citeaux in 1145 (http://www.fontfroide.com/chronologie.htm) The Abbey was an outpost in the fight against the Cathar heresy of the 12th and 13th centuries. One of its abbots, Jacques Fournier, was elected Pope under the name of Benoît XII (1334 - 1342). This proved to be its zenith in influence.
Fontfroide lost its protector, Pope Benedict XII upon his death in 1342. The tough economic years began as the harbor at Narbonne silted, compounded by the arrival of the plague. Three-quarters of the monks were lost to the Black Death. By 1476 the cistercian abbeys throughout France had all but been abandoned. The Abbey at Fontfroide was put on prebend. Over the next several hundred years, a succession of three noble families enjoyed the title (income and rents) of Abbot of Fontfroide (including de la Rochefoucauld from 1667 to 1717), without having to become priests in the Catholic Church (les abbés commendataires). In 1764 Louis XV consented to the extinction of the title and for the local episcopate to have jurisdiction. The Révolution forced abandonment of most Church property, forfeit to the State. Fontfroide was no exception. On February 14, 1791, the last monk left, and the structure enjoyed a secular existence. From 1858-1901, a new Cistercian community flourished, but upon the death of its leader the Abbey once again closed. |

From May 1243 to March 1244, the Cathar fortress of Montségur was besieged by the troops of the seneschal of Carcassonne and the archbishop of Narbonne

Rwalsh do you realise that Nostradamus lived not too far from those places?
