Weblogs: The end of the world in Aztec and Anglican history

Clueless Christian: "The mighty city of Tenochtitlan (modern day Mexico City) boasted Montezuma['s] splendid palace, hospitals, a zoo, botanical gardens, canals, aqueducts and twin pyramids dedicated to the sun and the moon. However, like their Anglican counterparts, Aztec prophets were afraid and filled with desperate plans."

(The author offers an extended and fascinating history of the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs, even as the Virgin of Guadalupe revealed herself to Juan Diego, though he sees parallels between the fall of the Aztecs and an expected schism among the Anglicans.)
