Obviously, Gaston Bodart forgot all about the Holy See and King Leopold II of Belgium, the Cruel Pharaoh, the African Natives used to call "Ntanga" (the Evil One) your First Totalitarian Ruler of the Modern Age. The Holy See was the major business partner of Leopold II of Belgium and Napoleon's greater contemporary. The Roman Catholic Church stands central, of its modus operandi Napoleon had a keen knowledge and a profound dislike: "The military history of the Teutonic Knights 'ended' in 1809 when Napoleon ordered their dissolution and the order lost its remaining secular holdings to Napoleons vassals and allies".  The order continued to exist in Austria out of Napoleons reach. In 1929 the Teutonic Knights were 'converted' to a purely 'spiritual' Roman Catholic Religious order and were renamed the "German Order". By 1932 a new Totalitarian Ruler emerged in Germany displaying the symbols of the Teutonic Knights. It marked the beginning of WWII and a holocaust on a scale never seen. No other institution has sacrificed so many human victims to the god of war as the Holy See; no other group of men has sowed death broadcast on such a scale as the Holy See its motto "Perpetual Wars interrupted by interludes of peace".
