Hello. I am reading The Sacred Mushroom And The Cross by John Marco Allegro, and in chapter 14 i got stuck with a question. I wonder if anyone know the answer to this question? It says that "References to the Christian Jesus figure occur but sporadicly in the old jewish traditions, for it is here that the Christian censors, who came to control most of the libraries of the civilized world, have understandably been most acitve"
My question is:
Who were the Christian censors, and what function did they have ?


Thanks

The old Christianity cult (according to Allegro) would have a purpose of hiding any information about mushrooms in their works, but when it say "Who came to control most of the libraries of the civilized world" I think he is referring to the "New" cult, that which took the new testament gospels for historical and founded the church we know today.. And they, according to Allegro, didn't know about the myco-philosophies..so.. What did Allegro mean by this ?

The so called Christian censors where people who know God and the fear of God , as there are lot of man made arts of thought in the world that never came from the Kingdom of God through Lord Jesus Christ , So there would have being censors who had authority in nations who would remove the corruption of ideas that were alien to God and would have being idols before God or false prophet ideas which would draw people away from the truth of Lord Jesus Christ and His purpose ............... But just as there were Christian censors that would protect the interest of the Kingdom of God through Lord Jesus Christ there would be people of different religions who would censor to fit their belief which whole nations would be forced to live under....................Just like the libertarians today who would like to censor Christianity right out of the nations , and remove God from any thought .....................Still the Kingdom of God has His rules , and if nations follow God rules then people will thrive in the world , but if nations reject the kingdom of God , and fabricate a new god , and corrupt the people to live in a world of death and corruption than the true and Living God warned the people to follow the rules , and like today there is a climate change , which is a curse were God warned the people to follow or face problems , and they got the curse of climate change , which ONLY Lord Jesus Christ can remove from the earth , as Lord Jesus Christ is the Only Judge of the earth and the heaven and life and death , and has the only power to prove it or accompany His judgment

So that means that the jews wrote individually about jesus in their works, and it got censored by the christian censores..? That would be (according to Allegro) some time after 70 A.D when the new church was established then..

Could the "christian censors" have been the Spanish inquisitions?
