Beginning with the date of 538, the Catholic church ruled for exactly 1260 years, and then received it’s deadly wound in the year 1798. The armies of Napoleon were marching across Europe, destroying monarchy and the church. French general Berthier, went down to Rome and took pope Pious VI prisoner and returned him to France to live out his remaining days in exile.
Tukianzia na tarehe ya mwaka 538 BK, Kanisa katoliki lilitawala kwa miaka 1260 kabisa, na kisha likapokea jeraha la mauti mnamo mwaka 1798 BK. Majeshi ya Napoleon yalienda Ulaya yote, yakiangamiza tawala za kifalme na Kanisa. Jemadari wa Kifaransa Berthier, alishuka chini mpaka Roma na kumchukua Papa Pius VI akiwa mfungwa na kumpeleka Ufaransa kuishi miaka yake iliyobaki uhamishoni.
