Notes on the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, the true State of Israel

 

1) During the Crusades, the Knights Templar established a network of deposits where pilgrims could safely deposit their belongings and continue their journey towards the Holy Land, on pilgrimage. If these goods were in money, then these goods were fungible for each other, to the point that a security issued by the deposit in Rome was perfectly accepted by the deposit in Jerusalem, then controlled by the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, the true State of Israel.

2) Over time, it was observed that some of the pilgrims actually rescued their belongings after the trip. Result: The Templars became administrators of all this wealth in favor of Christianity - and they had to apply this wealth in order to develop the common good, to the point of paying interest to those who entrusted their assets to these holy protectors, since the Authority perfects freedom.

3) Because of this application of wealth, they lent money to Muslims with usury (since this is allowed to be applied to those who are not brothers of Christ), thus realizing greater wealth. As a small part of the pilgrims came to redeem the money deposited, they were responsible, according to Roberto Santos, for the fractional reserve system, even though the formula is Roman, as I said in a previous article, based on an article by Arthur Rizzi.

4) In cities administered by the Templars, the guilds had funds to help those in need of their own class. Over time, money began to be lent to people from other classes - this favored integration between classes and promoted a sense of personal responsibility, as transactions were protected, as the templars not only ensured security, but also for justice in Christian territories in the Holy Land. This ended up generating republican chambers, as these cities began to enjoy unprecedented freedom and prosperity.

5) Many Jews and Muslims began to live in these communities and began to enjoy freedom that they did not have before. This in the long term would bring everyone to conversion, to the point of loving and rejecting the same things based on Christ.

6) The model of social integration found in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem served as the basis for the construction of the Empire that would be created for Christ in distant lands, as was established in Ourique.
