Absalomic Papacy!
In my studies this morning about the history of David , I came across the quotation(s) below about the history of Absalom over his scheme for usurpation of Power of King David, (his father), which is a fitting symbol for Papacy of the tool it uses to perform it's traitorous actions and of what the sympathizers think of it but in reality it is Absalomic in nature. “ And now the cloak of religious devotion was assumed to conceal his traitorous designs. . . In popular estimation, the prince was a hero rather than an offender, and he set himself to gain the hearts of the people. ” EP 529 - 530 The history is contained in the book of (2 Samuel 13 - 19).
