This is Lateran's long-standing method of winning people's hearts independent of the countries of Terra.

And why expulsion?

Compared with an ordinary behavior, this is more like a humiliation, which symbolizes that the excommunicated person is no longer worthy of the favor of the gods and the blessing of the church. Pardoned after death, should go to hell with lava, brimstone, and satan.

This is basically tantamount to pronouncing a death sentence for a believer, and it is, in the true sense, a weapon that allows a person to "socially die".

The cardinals looked at each other without saying a word.

They have thought about what action His Holiness the Pope will take, maybe sending someone to Victoria to assassinate Sister Broca, maybe contacting that good friend of Lateran, His Highness Wayne, and asking him to find a way to get the [Defiler] 】Broca was kidnapped to Lateran for trial, and even thought about launching a religious cold war, using the huge influence of the Lateran Catholic Church to completely extinguish the flames that had just ignited in Anglicanism.

But I never thought that His Majesty the Pope would directly order the expulsion of all Anglican clergy, as well as Anglican believers, general believers, and superficial believers!

You must know that whether it is in Victoria or other places on the earth, the core believers of the Lateran religion are actually not too many. Most of the so-called tens of millions of believers are actually shallow believers who sometimes believe and sometimes do not believe. A pan-believer who practices many faiths.Those who go to pray under the Anglican sect in Victoria, they are not necessarily really in the arms of false religion and false gods, it is probably just because the Anglican church will provide bread at breakfast and hold a party at lunch, The "beneficial" reason for gathering believers together to watch outdoor movies after dinner, or simply because praying in the Anglican Church will be less red tape and less troublesome.

Are they loyal to Anglicanism?

Not necessarily, maybe as long as the Lateran Catholic Church lowers its stance a little bit and offers some benefits, they will immediately turn their backs and return to the Catholic Church, which is truly world-famous.

But once they are expelled from the church.....

But it really offended this group of shallow believers to death!

At that time, these shallow believers will be fools, and they also know that while giving them sweet dates full of benefits, they are holding a big stick to make them die socially, and bear the labels of infidelity and moral corruption. Which one should one believe in?

This is making enemies for yourself!

Urbino sighed: "Everyone, I know what you are thinking. The Pope is wise and mighty, so naturally he has considered what you said."

"but!"

He changed the subject and became stricter.

"At this moment, we only have to be prepared to cut off the wrists of a strong man! You are also the ones who have read the words of [the blasphemer] Broca, and you naturally know how we will be treated if these words are spread on the earth. Strike! It must be done immediately, immediately, and never again!"

"Expelling them is only the first step. This step is a threat. For general believers and shallow believers whose beliefs are not firm, we will give a one-month buffer time. During this period, most of them are not willing to take this risk. General believers and shallow believers will voluntarily withdraw from this [religious jihad]. We do not require them to believe in us, but we must not allow them to believe in Anglicanism! Ordinary people always prefer one thing more than one thing less, as long as they give orders, they cannot Fight us to death."

"In the next step, we must increase our support for Wayne, even resorting to extraordinary measures such as the eleventh tax and the Holy See's armed forces, to put Wayne on the throne of Victoria, and completely relegate Anglicanism and Broca to the garbage of history. Heap. Everyone, the Pope knows very well that it is extremely difficult to prevent the spread of an idea. Since Broca’s dangerous idea has appeared, it is doomed to be difficult to eradicate, but we must do our best to keep this idea to a minimum. Just like we blocked Kazdel's religion, we blocked it in Victoria!"

"Bishops, you may think that this method is too radical and tough, but I want to convey the most severe words of the Pope here!"

Urbino gritted his teeth and said:

"Heretics are worse than heresy!"

Cardinal Ruhr frowned, raised his hand and said:

"I understand what Your Majesty means, but what if, I mean what if, Broca is not our enemy?"

He raised a report in his hand and said:

"According to the records of the Holy See, Broca did not betray the Lateran religion. He is still a nun of the Catholic Church, and St. John's Cathedral is also the territory of the Catholic Church. According to the news from our informant in Victoria, Broca He is devout, steadfast, charitable, friendly, honest and reliable, loyal, humble and courteous, thrifty, and tenacious. He is a pastor with excellent moral character! Could this be a trick of the Victorians? Did we mess ourselves up?"

Before he could finish his sentence, the cardinals beside him all looked at him with pity.

Someone couldn't help reminding him:

"Rule, can you repeat what you just said? What kind of person is Broca?"

Ruhr blinked, not knowing what he meant, and repeated boldly:

"She's a Faith, Hope, Charity, Justice, Fortitude, Temperance, Prudence... Ahh... .Uh......"

Like a fishbone stuck in his throat, his voice was interrupted abnormally, and he gradually understood everything.

He read the report in his hand again, and then put it into his teaching robe with a blushing face.

The seven virtues, the proper seven virtues are listed in the report.

What kind of information about a person is absolutely untrustworthy?

One, a person is absolutely bad and has no merit whatsoever.

Second, a person is absolutely good, without any faults.

No one is perfect, and there is no absolute villain. As long as you live mediocrely in this world, you will always have shortcomings. Ruhr has no doubts about the authenticity of the information in hand, because it is absolutely false!

The simplest way of argument is, if a person possesses the seven virtues at the same time, what church would she join?What kind of redemption do you yearn for?

She only needs to simply believe in God, and she is enough to ascend to heaven by virtue of her virtues. For such a person, indulgences cannot be sold!

"Go back and send someone to check your informant carefully. He has probably been bought by Victoria's intelligence department."

Urbino said lightly.

"Everyone, don't you know what the priests in your church look like? Even if there are good ones, how can there be absolute perfection? With so many virtues at the same time, you still say she is not a ghost?"

"Send me the Pope's decree to expel [the blasphemer] Broca from the church! Kill chickens to make an example to monkeys!"

Chapter 33 Chapter 31 The Man Who Completed It

Wei Na was very curious. For example, nearly half a month had passed since Indra's report, and Wei En, who had kept saying, "Call me about this matter", seemed dumb and did nothing.

On weekdays, they should eat and drink, and even found time to send people to hire several cooks from the Yan Kingdom from the embassy street to come back, saying that they want to teach the four major cuisines of Dayan.

Wei Na still doesn't know Wei En, her brother must be bragging again, the four major cuisines of Dayan?Wayne has never been to Dayan since he was born. Where can he find the four major cuisines of Dayan that even the chef of Yan Kingdom doesn't know?

I just hope that those Yan Kingdom chefs who seem to be deeply inspired can wake up early. Wei Na still has a good impression of them. After all, after they entered the palace and took over the cooking of breakfast, lunch and dinner, Wei Na His living standard has improved by more than a little bit, even his face has become a little rounder, and he has gained a little weight.

The figure has not changed much, where did the flesh grow?

The people in the palace complained about this, as if they felt that the majestic Victorian royal family had a special liking for the cuisine of Yan Kingdom and turned a blind eye to their own food, which was rude, but Wei Na said: This matter is mine Ideas have nothing to do with Wayne, if you have any opinions, please come and talk to me.

Just kidding, which courageous nobleman dares to give advice to Wei Na? This master is not a mortal. He has lost face of the guardian of the unicorn in public and seized the throne in front of all the nobles. In a week, Ernest and other aristocrats were recruited. The scheming and courageous macho...female figures, even when the parliament was in place, they didn't have the guts to argue with Wei Na on such a trivial matter. Singing a naysayer, not to mention the absence of parliament now?

The parliament was dissolved and another date was chosen. The nobles who had agreed to it at the beginning have basically come to their senses now. Wei Na never said how long the date was to be chosen.

Now Victoria’s so-called parliament exists in name only, the military power is in the hands of Ernest, the political power is in the hands of Wei Na, and secretly these two powers are in the hands of Wayne, the centralization of power has been completed, just wait for Wayne’s order Claiming to be the Lord Protector (but won't be).

To sum up, the current Lentinium is harmonious, and all the undercurrents are surging under the water surface, and no one dares to stir up waves.

However, Wayne, who was supposed to stir up the tide, suddenly calmed down, hiding in the house all day, not knowing what he was doing, and the speed of religious reform also slowed down.

After thinking about it, Wei Na finally couldn't hold back, and planned to see what new work her cousin was doing.

"Please come in."

Muyan stood at the door of Wei En's room, like a door god. Seeing Wei Na's arrival, she turned slightly sideways and helped to open the door.

Although his identity was found out by Venn, Venn did not pierce the disguise of the mudstone. This Sarkaz girl who once made a stone man and punched Venn an operator was a little shy. She did not take the initiative to inform Venn. So the simple employment relationship is maintained, and Muyan seems to be short of money anyway.

Wayne just silently raised the price, and successfully tied the mudstone to Victoria.

It is now April 1092, 4 in the Terran calendar. Although I don’t know how long the Kazdel Civil War broke out, it must not be far from this date. Wayne is now dragging and dragging for a while, and Mudrock will be homeless back.

Homeless, Wayne can keep dragging.

Continue to drag on for a little longer, this is the second home of the mud rock.

Wei Na looked at the mudstone warily.

For some reason, she felt an inexplicable threat from this "big man" in armor. It was different from the sense of urgency given to him by the threat of life. This feeling was more like the "territorial awareness" inspired by the Lion King.It seemed that Muyan was invading some of her private territory by standing here guarding Wayne's door.

How does this feel?illusion?

Wei Na scratched her fluffy blond hair, puzzled.

Strange, why do I feel a sense of crisis in a Kazdel mercenary?

baffling.

Wei Na suppressed the lingering strange feeling in her heart, pushed the door open and entered.

I saw Wayne sitting in front of the table, holding the squid skewers for afternoon tea in one hand, and a pen in the other, slowly writing something on the parchment on the table.

Wei Na didn't disturb him immediately, but cautiously approached Wei En, poked her head out to look at the parchment written on the table.

"Article [-]: When our Lord said, 'Repent ye,' he meant that believers should repent all their lives."

"Second: This sentence does not refer to the confessional, the confession and penance performed by the priest."

...?

What is this written about?

Wei Na frowned beautifully.

The clauses on the table seem to be criticisms of theology, but Wei Na does not believe in gods, or since she is sensible, she has declared that her life in a civilian area from scratch determines that she has no chance to touch these gods and ghosts. .

Only the rich will worry about the afterlife all day long. The wealth they exploited is like a red-hot iron, forcing them to flee to the arms of the gods to ask for forgiveness, while the poor are often hungry and full, and their gods There are many, including but not limited to someone who can feed them when they are hungry, someone who can give them water when they are thirsty, someone who can hold an umbrella for them when it rains, and someone who can talk to them when they are lonely .....

The god of the poor is mutual kindness, but there is no forgiveness after death.

Wei Na has not experienced extreme poverty, because she has not fallen to the bottom of society, she is not infected.But she also knew that the former self couldn't even afford an indulgence, so what qualifications did she have to believe in gods?

To paraphrase a joke from Wayne's previous life: I am not poor.

Wayne raised his head, put down his pen, pinched Wei Na's face, woke her up from her daze, and asked:

"Do you understand?"

Wei Na shook her head, but quickly nodded again:

"understand."

"Understand what?"

"No. 30 six items: every Catholic believer, as long as he feels that he has sincerely repented, he can also receive forgiveness or complete immunity from punishment. Is this what you said, justification by faith?"

Wayne nodded and added with a smile:

"Yes, it's called the 95 theses."

Wei Na tilted her head, broke away from Wei En's hand that was kneading her ear, and asked:

"But isn't there only fifty?"

"Someone will make it up for us."

"Who is it?"

"Who is it?"

Wei En made a fool of himself, stood up, looked at each other, and threw the question back to Wei Na.

Wei Na blushed for no reason, glanced around in a panic, and after confirming that there were no outsiders, she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa slowly, baring her canine teeth, looking rather like a baby than threatening. Looking at Wayne, he replied:

"Which Sister Broca?"

Wayne shook his head, pressed Wei Na's shoulder, leaned close to her face, and said solemnly:

"All Terra."

Just as a single spark can start a prairie fire, even a mere smoldering fire from the Reformation is enough to burn down an entire forest of the Catholic Church!

ps: Tweet the book "Why do you all want to suck my soul"

Introduction: How do you think about Little Red Riding Hood being forcibly sent to the initial furnace for kissing the undead?

The price for learning magic from the witch is to pay for soul liquid. If you refuse, you will be blown into a living corpse?

Alice from the dream world covets flames, so she wants to hollow out the body of the undead to make a doll.

In the far north, Snow White, hungry for the souls of the undead, marches on even as the world freezes.

Joan of Arc, who expressed strong concern about this, seems to be upholding justice, and can also bring a little human care and warmth.
