The date on the document is 1152, but in the Iberian Peninsula of the twelfth century, documents were dated “era of Caesar”; only on August 22, 1422, was “anno domini” fully adopted in Portugal. This makes most documents of the period off by thirty-eight years relative to our established calendar, thus the donation was made to the Knights of the Temple in 1114.

5. See Bembo, Letters and Comments on Pope Leo X; and Bale, Acta romanorum pontificum, where the phrase was published as a satire. And yet, far from being a satirical quote, Pope Leo X’s phrase was witnessed and recorded by Cardinal Pietro Bembo and Cardinal Paolo Giovio (De vita leonis decimi). The records of Cardinal Caesar Baronius—a former Vatican librarian and the church’s most outstanding historian—provide information of falsification in Christianity. Concerning Pope Leo’s declaration, he wrote, “The Pontiff has been accused of atheism, for he denied God and called Christ, in front of cardinals Pietro Bembo, Jovius and Iacopo Sadoleto and other intimates, ‘a fable,’ it must be corrected” (Annales Ecclesiastici, tomes viii and xi). As noted in the Catholic Encyclopedia (Pecci ed., iii, 312–14, passim), the church nullified this destructive quote by arguing that what Leo had meant by “profitable” was “gainful,” and by “fable” was “tradition.” Hence, it was restated as, “How well Christians have gained from this wonderful tradition of Christ.” However, Cardinal Bembo, the pope’s secretary for seven years, added that Leo “was known to disbelieve Christianity itself. He advanced contrary to the faith and that in condemning the Gospel, therefore he must be a heretic.”
