These frightful statutes called gargoyles, they are hideous in order to repel the evil.

Sign of the end of religion

Interesting stuff.
Gargoyles is most likely satanic.
Reminds me of this video.

stop this ignorance abeg,

Gargoyles are not satanic, they are architectural masterpiece of medieval times that was used to remove water from the roof to prevent water from destroying the mortar, they were made in an artistic way sometimes resembling whatever.

That particular art/architectural style began to wane as it was criticised by people like St Bernard of the Catholic Church who didn't like what they depicted. He said.


"What are these fantastic monsters doing in the cloisters before the eyes of the brothers as they read? What is the meaning of these unclean monkeys, these strange savage lions, and monsters? To what purpose are here placed these creatures, half beast, half man, or these spotted tigers? I see several bodies with one head and several heads with one body. Here is a quadruped with a serpent's head, there a fish with a quadruped's head, then again an animal half horse, half goat... Surely if we do not blush for such absurdities, we should at least regret what we have spent on them"



His criticism not withstandin, they are medieval architectural arts only recently in the 1900s did people start claiming they are occult.

They are simply old architectural designs with bad taste art

Daviddson:
Not at all. It's a well-planned out depiction of Satanism masked under artwork and sculpture.

gargoyle are architectural designs from medieval times. Nothing to do with the occult

Of course, not all gargoyles are occultic, but the ones shown in this thread are clearly satanic. Gargoyles are for collecting water from rainfall to protect the building from direct effect of water from the rain - why should the gargoyles be made of scary animals and demon-like figures? What about those other statues standing on the ground; are they also collecting water. Read on gargoyle monsters from Wikipedia or Google.

What happened to all the Saints the Catholic Church worships? Why not put them up, but the statues of demons?

Story, even the accusations against the Templar's was a frame job

First the Catholic Church doesn't worship saints, we venerate their memory, statues of saints are found inside the church not outside, and no medieval architecture will use a saints statue to conduct water from a roof, it will be seen as disrespectful to use and image of Jesus or a saint for that.

Ubenedictus, you really have time to waste.

Many of these Pentecostal church goers have lost a lot of sense due to the brainwashing from their pastors.

One cannot reason with them. Their Christianity is only 3 things.

1. Tithe
2. Worship/defend daddy G.O.
3. Everything outside their church is satanic

You are yet to contribute anything meaningful in this discussion. You keep on bringing irrelevant stories that has no relevance to the subject if discourse. Just throwing names around.

You will have to juxtapose without bias the
relationship between the religious and architectural history of Cathedral de Notre Dame throughout the dark/middle ages, the Renaissance and the age of discovery to the aforementioned secret groups.

The only time the cathedral was mentioned in relation to the Knight Templar was during the execution of the last grand master. He was executed in front of Notre Dame.

So it's the images of demons that should be used? Why not beautiful birds, cow, goat, etc?

Many pagan deities are actually represented by animals especially birds.

Hindus worship cows (or see them as holy)

The demon Baphomet is represented by a goat

Daviddson:
LOL. Satan works in such a way that he DOESN'T want you to even believe he exists. That the writer of that book told us to be wary of reading" too much meaning "to it already shows they're trying to hide the truth under the guise of Gothic architecture.

The satan whom Jesus told to "get behind one" works in mysterious ways that one cannot decipher its wily ways? You funny, Daviddson, or lazy.

OK, why must the gargoyles then be monsters? Why were they not sculptures of ordinary human beings or flowers or just birds?

David, you're beginning to beat about the bush.

Didn't you see the human sculptures and birds there or you prefer blind man arguments.? I wonder how flowers can serve as a gargoyle. Not an architectural impossibility in present times but remember this is in the dark ages.

I have never beaten about the bush concerning my conviction about that building: everything about it reeks of Satanism and occultism. Why were the gargoyles not exclusively made of birds or those human beings alone? Why should the monsters and demons be included? Because the building was intentionally dedicated to Satan - there are no two ways about this.

And you know this because the Holy spirit ministered to you or you were there in the 11th century during its construction. Since you already know this why ask the question in the first place. Move on...Nigeria without all the demonic statues, the holier than thou country, the only country that knows more than Christianity itself and religiosity we keep claiming up and down. Where has it led us.
The cathedral will be rebuilt with even more of those things, you will have to create more threads then.
It makes sense to those who make sense out of it.
