Gregory who served as a reformer of the medevil church as Pope Gregory , said that there is nothing but sorrow and all around is the sounds of groan’s Cities were destroyed, No man is left in the fields, no people are in the cities.

This church replaced a fourth-century building erected during the reign of Constantine’s son and successor in the East, Constantius II, after the old church was destroyed during riots in 532. Spurred by Justinian’s religious and political foes, the excitable crowds at a racetrack close to the imperial palace took to the streets. They set fire to the church, and soon half the city was destroyed. The empress Theodora, a brilliant, politically shrewd woman, is said to have spurred Justinian to resist the rioters saying, ‘Purple makes a fine shroud’- meaning that she would rather die an empress (purple was the royal color) than flee for her life. Taking up her words as a battle cry, imperial forces under Belisarius crushed the rebels.

In order to maintain this unified Christian world, the church urged its members to form armies and invade the Middle East. The Pope portrayed the Muslims as barbaric, cruel, and savage to incite Christians. He created an anti- Muslim feeling by writing they were an “accursed race, a race wholly alienated from God.” Pope Urban accused them of “violently invading the lands of the Christians and [depopulating] them by pillage and fire.” The Pope further described them as taking Christians captive and torturing them.

They refer to the scripture Psalm 83:18, according to the King James Version of the Bible: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth."
Isaiah 44:6 states: “I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.” James 2:19 states, “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well:” In the book of John, we can read John quote Jesus saying,” I and the Father are one.” Jesus also preached the Holy Spirit of being part of the Godhead, “"And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in you." ...
