Chapter two thousand six hundred and twenty-four
At the beginning, Gregory VII planned to systematically study the True God Cult, but later he found that there was nothing to study at all. The True God Cult is very simple and the system is very loose, and there is even no complete system of the Holy See.
It only needs to be compatible with the existence of other beliefs and recognize that all beliefs are performed and transformed by the true God. There are no other rules and regulations, no complex rituals, and no persecution and exclusion of pagans.
Because in the view of the True God Church, all believers are their believers, all churches are their churches, and all faiths are evolved from their God!
The theory here exists in the Old Testament and the New Testament of the Bible, and even in the Quran of the Church!
After reading three scriptures, Gregory VII found in despair that he could not find any flaws!
Even when these three scriptures claim that there is only one God and reject other gods, they still agree with the true God's explanation of God.
Logic is the most important thing for a person. When everything makes sense, you will feel that this is true.
Even if Gregory VII did not want to admit it, he had to admit that the existence of God was reasonable and legal, and it was also God's will.
As for Zhao Ren, the messenger who brought the True God Cult to the world, there is no reason to deny his identity. Since he wants to admit the True God Cult, he must also recognize Zhao Ren's identity, and the authenticity of the miracle is also recognized!
After a cry of confusion and helplessness, Gregory VII finally signed his name on the Pope's decree and stamped it with the Pope's badge.
The emergence of the Pope's decree made the whole of Rome boil. Countless Christians walked out of their homes at night to celebrate this great event that belonged to Christianity, Judaism, and even religion!
The Pope also set out from the Oriental Port, slowly crossed the Mediterranean and arrived at Haipang Port, and arrived in Jerusalem with the followers of countless pilgrims.
But when Rett saw the badge on the Pope's decree, he held up the decree and shouted: "The Holy See declares that the existence of the Gods is true and the will of God!"
Everyone present looked at the Pope's decree held high by Rett. In the Western world, there has never been a religion recognized by Christianity. Even Judaism, which believed in God with Christianity, has not been recognized by the Roman Catholic Church.
Cheers sounded, and the city of Jerusalem became a sea of fanaticism again, and everyone's face was filled with a happy smile, even the merchants of the Song Dynasty.........
For the Song people, their prince founded a religion in Jerusalem, which was unacceptable at the beginning. After all, religions in the Song Dynasty were almost all more or less rejected.
Officials don’t like religion, but the prince established a religion in the West. What’s this called?
But gradually the Song people discovered that this religion seemed to have other functions, which made the Jews, Romans, Seljuks and other Western countries very much recognize the identity of the Song people and treat them more friendly.
This kind of friendship does not come from the goods brought by Song merchants, but is an indescribable kindness. After asking clearly, I realized that the prince had become the messenger of the gods believed in by Western countries.
So the merchants of the Song Dynasty were extremely happy to start selling goods at a discount, with exquisite porcelain for 20% off, beautiful glass for 10% off, gorgeous silk for 30% off, durable cloth for 50% off.........
At this time, Zhao Ren, Yan Shu, Wang Anshi and others hid in the secret room of Wanmin Palace. What they saw was the complete document about the Catholic system collected by the Black Hand from the Roman Holy See.
Only by knowing yourself and your opponent can you win a hundred battles. This is something that Zhao Ren deeply impressed in his mind.
Catholicism has a system of distinct hierarchical, centralized and gradual management, which is a "holy rule" born in religion.
This hierarchy and academic management system, if you observe a little, you will think that this was gradually completed and changed in the long historical development after Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire.
"The so-called "priesthood" of His Highness Catholicism consists of three levels: bishop, priest, assistant sacrificial ritual, and is considered to be "the rank established by God". The bishop must perform the "sacrament of God" and the consecration of the "sacrament of God". This is exactly the same as the price of the emperor grants to officials. However, the imperial power is granted by God, while the pope's rights are granted by their God."
After seeing the materials of the Black Hand, Yan Shu grabbed the essence in an instant and also poked through some things.
"Clerites of different levels have different levels of "theocracy" when holding rituals and "sacraments". This is just like the rituals of our Han family. During sacrifices, officials have different official positions, different statuses, different titles, and different positions." But the "governance and power rank" is the level formed by the church's governance and jurisdiction and certain specific division of labor, which divides the bishop into multiple levels. Among them, the Pope is the highest leader, and the Roman Catholic Church, as the court, generally assists it in governing the country, which is no different from imperial power!
Below are cardinals, archbishops, and bishops. Among them are bishops, there are bishops, assistant bishops and assistant bishops.
The most important one is inheritance rights. Catholicism attaches great importance to this genocide system and believes that only believers but no genocide can not become a "church".
This is just like the court needs the yamen to manage the country, and the yamen must have a sect system to establish it. This is like the relationship between officials and the people.
So the "holy rule" from the Roman Holy See was completely stripped away in front of Zhao Ren, Yan Shu and Wang Anshi, and everything was exposed to the three-pair of shrewd eyes, covering the fig leaf and tearing it out of the skin.
What kind of church is this? It is a central court with strict hierarchy and perfect systems. Such a church can perfectly control the papal states and princes, and of course it also threatens the imperial power of the Roman Empire, which is not very concentrated.
Zhao Ren felt a little sympathetic to Nick. This young emperor who had become Henry IV was his friend and a comrade in his interests. He didn't know what kind of existence he was facing.
Catholicism is not as easy as he seems to deal with, and it completely surpasses the Han religion. Zhao Ren is even somewhat grateful that this religion did not appear in the Han religion.
Seeing Yan Shu sorting out the content, Zhao Ren smiled and said, "The father would be surprised to see this. Grandpa Yan, Grandpa Wang, should we send a copy to Henry IV?"
Yan Shu and Wang Anshi looked at each other and smiled, "Of course it should be sent. At present, the imperial power of the Roman Empire has declined and the power of the church has risen. His Highness's True God Cult has hit the Roman Catholic Church very hard. I believe you should ask Henry IV for some benefits!"
Wang Anshi smiled and said, "Grandpa Yan would also joke?"
"If you are not brisk in a foreign country, you will miss your hometown in your heart!"
