Napoleon crossed himself as Roman Catholics do – Was Napoleon religious?

Kenya: Witchcraft: The devil told me to have sex with sheep
Witchcraft is rampant across Africa. This story is incredibly weird and bizarre. Other Blacks said this Black guy was also having sex with a dog. This story makes for some insane reading. I published this on my old website.


I was doing some reading about Napoleon, as written about by his private secretary who worked for him, for much of his time as the leader of France.

I have written before that both Napoleon and Hitler could never have been Christians.

But I must admit, I’m starting to get somewhat confused by Napoleon. I am coming across more references to Napoleon supporting Christianity.

One rather astounding thing I came across was that his private secretary said that sometimes, perhaps when shocked, that Napoleon would actually "cross himself" – making the sign of the cross, the way Catholics do. Now the French were Catholics.

I was quite amazed by this.

Napoleon also said that all great men believed in God.

What may be making Napoleon’s behaviour a bit strange, I think, is that Napoleon was an incredible student of the Romans and Ancient Greeks. Napoleon read, and reread, and reread the writings of the Romans and Greeks.

So I think although he was a Christian, his mind definitely was filled with a lot of values that came from the Romans and Greeks – the Pagans, if you will.

So he may be a combination of both … a Christian or a believer in God … while holding to many values and concepts that made the Ancients so great.
