probably you should know there’s nothing holy about rome & the constantine project—jerome of prague & hussites were against corruption & greed & prostitution of catholic church & its leaders; the statue in old town square is dedicated to jan hus & hussites. ‘doctrine of discovery’ genocidal project & institutionalised/ritualized abuse of children: nothing holy about rome. & czechs have a history of rebellion against it! so if you are nostalgic for such a history i dunno what to say. prague has a different story.

when you go back you can now present as knowledgeable about czech history & you don’t even have to credit me. you’re welcome!

Please have mercy, I am but a tourist in admiration of Prague’s beautiful architecture, which I only briefly read about. Perhaps it’s a similar situation in Finland which has a troubled history with Russia, yet some of the most beautiful architecture in Helsinki is from the Russian Empire times.

I merely commented because you used the word “holy” & “roman” in the same phrase. I’m giving Czechs a good call on the whole Constantine mistake. I agree: Prague architecture is beautiful. I recommend checking out the rare Cubist architecture & having a coffee at The House of the Black Madonna’s gorgeous museum cafe on your next visit.

Oh, look: Mother Mary & baby Jesus are black. Isn’t that curious.
