Since the video stays off trashing Jefferson... A note he reorganized or rewrote the Bible... You can still buy it today ..

Jefferson Bible - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, commonly referred to as the Jefferson Bible, is one of two religious works constructed by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson compiled the manuscripts but never published them. The first, The Philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth, was completed in 1804, but no copies exist today.[1] The second, The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, was completed in 1820 by cutting and pasting, with a razor and glue, numerous sections from the New Testament as extractions of the doctrine of Jesus. Jefferson's condensed composition excludes all miracles by Jesus and most mentions of the supernatural, including sections of the four gospels that contain the Resurrection and most other miracles, and passages that portray Jesus as divine.[2][3][4][5]

Yes Jefferson was anti pope and anti clergy...

While Jefferson did indeed include some Protestant clergymen as amongst his friends,[67] and while he did in fact donate monies in support of some churches,[68] his attitude towards Protestant clerics as a group and the Roman Catholic Church as a whole was one of extreme aversion

It was a nice video but the last word in the previous line is laughable.... "Liberty" meant land ownership back in those days...

• Territorial area
  A liberty was a piece of land that was held by a lay or ecclesiastical magnate, and where the king's rights had been given to a private individual. Many of these liberties dated back to Anglo-Saxon times.
• Feudal privilege
  Liberty could also refer to the freedom that came with owning land, which was a feudal privilege. This privilege included exemptions from taxation, the right to enforce law and order, and protection from royal courts.
• Local government unit
  Liberties eventually became units of local government. English customs and local governance traditions, such as the Hundred and Shire Courts, helped preserve liberty ideals at the local level

In England the word “liberty” was usually taken to mean a territorial area held by some lay or ecclesiastical magnate; most of these liberties dated back to Anglo‐Saxon times. The greatest liberties were the palatinate franchises of the bishops of Durham and the dukes of Lancaster.

The video starts by trashing Jefferson but not untrue on the facts... The video uses the word liberty as its last word and uses the Age of Enlightenment definition of liberty, Locke and Jefferson used... All I am saying is use the word related to the age you are talking about...

The word "liberty" has had multiple definitions throughout history, but the idea of individual liberty was popularized during the Age of Enlightenment. In 1689, John Locke wrote Two Treatises of Government, where he argued that all people are born equal and independent, and that the government only has power with the consent of the governed. Locke also wrote A Letter Concerning Toleration in 1689, where he called freedom of conscience a fundamental right for all people, regardless of social rank. Thomas Jefferson adapted Locke's ideas when he wrote the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, which states that all people have a natural right to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness".

Truthfully, is there a libertarian movement wanting to go back to the Medieval Ages? Is there a conservative Catholic movement that wants to return to the Medieval ages?

You should look into promoting an independent city, urban secession, or city-state movement. You want anatomy at the lowest level of governing... You align with distributism...

Too bad King George III and King Charles III were unaware of this.

Here is a libertarian writer about the idea of liberty in Medieval times...

https://www.libertarianism.org/publications/essays/medieval-liberty-its-evolution#:~:text=In%20England%20and%20France%2C%20at,simply%20recognize%20in%20their%20charters

Harding argues that, in the great majority of cases, the word does refer essentially to political freedom in an embryonic form. Of course, no conception as yet existed concerning the right to vote or the right to express political opinions, which are central to political freedom in a modern context. The liberty which was understood and cherished in the Middle Ages served, nevertheless, as the necessary precondition of these modern freedoms. This medieval liberty encompassed the power to act in community affairs and to exert influence on one’s fellows without the interference of government.

Here is another look at liberty in the Medieval times...

AI Overview

In medieval Europe, "liberty" primarily meant
a feudal privilege, such as a lord's special rights to govern a territory, exempting them from royal interference, taxation, or having their own legal jurisdiction. It was not a general right but a specific privilege granted to an individual, a place, or an organization, often referring to the land where these powers were exercised. This could include the right to enforce local laws and order, hold private courts, and even maintain a gallows for executions within their domain.

• A lord's prerogative: Liberty was a power or privilege held by a lord over his territory (his dominium) and was often tied to the land itself.
• Special privileges: It was a specific grant of freedom from royal authority and other external controls.
• Geographic and administrative unit: The term "liberty" also referred to a specific geographic area where a lord exercised these special powers, distinct from the standard administrative divisions of the time, like the English liberties or English and Irish liberties.
• A class-based concept: These privileges were not for everyone but were attached to those with land and power, making liberty a class-based concept rather than a universal right.
