NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 830: “Follower”
Chapter 830 "Follower"
Confucius said: “Zi does not speak strangely and is mad.
Confucius is not superstitious of ghosts and gods, but he values sacrifices. He sacrifices ancestors and parents, expressing his heartfelt commemorations and sorrows for his parents and ancestors. Even though his requirements for sacrifices are very strict, those who believe in him are still pagans.
But even a pagan would say something reasonable, "Sacrifice it to the ghost, or slander it." It is not a ghost that you should sacrifice, but a flattery to some people.
Holy Communion is a "sacrament" shared by Catholics, Greek denominations and Protestants after the Reformation. Even in the dark Middle Ages, people would sacrifice through painting, music, and fasting.
The Carnival in Venice is a feast of banquets and carnivals before Lent. They are already very unruly, and the Protestants are even more unruly.
If the bishop represents the depravity, then they are more depraved without the bishop. What do they think in their minds when they receive the Eucharist?
Bread is bread, and wine is wine. Unlike some people think, bread and wine have been blessed and turned into flesh and blood through prayer.
There are many people who have sinned and deserved to be crucified, but Christ was crucified for their sins.
It is not all Christians who slaughter Indians, but those sinners exiled by Protestants. It is an ancient festival created by the Americans themselves.
Who are they thinking about when they eat turkey for a family reunion? Is it the gift of the Lord, or the success of their prisoner ancestors?
Even the United Kingdom keeps a long distance from Thanksgiving, but the President of the United States calls greetings.
The pope was assassinated by ***, maybe the president of the United States thought he would harbor hatred for it.
When the European Union was negotiating a new constitution in 2003 and 2004, the Holy See did not succeed in putting "Christian heritage" on the agenda of the meeting, which was the goal that the Pope most hoped to achieve.
The world just hopes to put on a sacred disguise, disguising what they are doing as just.
The pope accomplished a feat in 2001. He was the first pope to visit Greece since 1291.
The locals were not enthusiastic about his visit, and some even protested against his visit.
Later, he met with the Patriarch of Christozulu of the Greek Church in Athens. After a 30-minute meeting, the two spoke publicly.
Christozulu listed 13 crimes committed by the Catholic Church against the Orthodox Church after the division of the Eastern and Western churches; including the looting of Constantinople during the Crusades, and never expressed repentance.
The Pope responded immediately, stating that “in the past and present, the children of the Catholic Church have asked God for forgiveness for the crimes committed by the Orthodox brothers and sisters in their actions and mistakes.” This received instant applause from Christozulu.
In the face of greater threats, it is irrational to continue to remain divided. The Confucius Institute has opened to Rome, there are new heretics around the world, and the *** following the invasion of Europe by refugees.
Uncle Sam is separated by the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic Ocean is much wider than the Mediterranean Sea. When talking about the refugee issue, the spokesperson said it was a "tragedy." However, when asked by reporters whether the United States plans to resettle more refugees from Syria and other countries, the spokesperson again Negative, while the US media has criticized Europe for "cruel" treatment of refugees. This practice is really "hypocritical."
Before the angry emotions took control of him, Joshua left the group of buzzing cardinals.
Some people say that the devil is in the Vatican, and the devil interfered with him just now.
Birth, old age, sickness and death is a natural law, which cannot be countered by manpower. The Holy See will lose a wise leader, and those elderly cardinals do not know whether they will elect a wise leader.
He doesn't know whether the Holy See is rotten or not, but it is obvious that it is old. In the face of the temptation of this world, who will listen to the call of the other side.
It’s hardly a sacrifice to be celibate. It’s not bad to be celibate, but giving up all personal property is scary and irrational for some people.
Following vocations and engaging in priesthood are often associated with various scandals, just like every clergyman has hidden secrets.
I have nothing to hide, so why should I be afraid?
While passing by the Last Judgment painted by Michelangelo, Joseph looked at the masterpiece that had been "shamed".
"Privacy" contains more and more extensive content, and even female abortions have been classified as "privacy".
The birth check prevents some babies with congenital deformities from coming to the world, but the deformed souls have no equipment to detect them.
Serial killers look no different from normal people, but the soul is "sick". What good is there to worship these demons?
Behind this kind of worship, there may also be a desire to be an abuser.
I will watch "worms" burning in the sea of flames in heaven.
Joseph smiled proudly. Mark said in the Gospel of Mark that God is not partial to people, but he chose Abel’s sacrifices, so God is still partial to people in the end.
He will repay everyone according to their actions.
He will look forward to that day soon.
"Father Joseph."
The young priest followed the voice and looked over. The person who greeted him was the cardinal from Argentina. This bishop who loves football and tango is the second most popular person in the pope election. He has a simple life and a cheerful personality. Admired and loved by believers.
The most popular candidate is the head of the cardinal, a Benedictine monk from Germany, the former minister of the Faith of the Holy See, the chairman of the Pontifical Bible Committee, and the chairman of the International Theological Committee. He is proficient in ten national languages but is not a cardinal canonized by the pope. Bishop Ratzinger.
These are two people who have different personalities and hobbies. Ratzinger is a conservative and Bergerio is a reformer.
The rolling stone does not grow moss. Only by continuing to advance and reform can the church get closer to the ever-changing times and people's hearts.
In other words, join us and play together.
Conservatives think that they should not follow the current phenomenon. Ratzinger is a recognized conservative in theology. He opposes the use of contraceptives and condoms, and refuses to appoint women as priests. In many developed countries, "go to Christianity" Under the trend of increasing secularization and secularization, it is necessary to restore the original Christian value standards in Europe.
Especially in terms of ethics and morals, he believes that Catholics who remarry after divorce should be prohibited from participating in the sacrament ceremony, Catholics and Protestants cannot participate in the sacrament ceremony at the same time, and the priest who distributes the sacrament for Catholics and Protestants should be expelled. .
The most important thing is that he strongly opposes the theology of liberation in Latin America. This kind of missionary behavior that seeks to obtain material and spiritual life for the oppressed, exploited and "inhuman" poverty people will be used by politicians.
Don’t be superstitious and gullible about what you don’t understand, even if it will bring you material and spiritual enjoyment.
"Good day, bishop." Joseph said to Bergrio coldly and politely.
"I heard that the pontiff prayed for the believers at the hospital window just now. Is he better now?"
"I don't think this is the issue you should discuss now." Joseph said, "Even people who are not so familiar with history know that every apostolic election is full of conspiracy and intrigue."
"It might have been 400 years ago, but it's different now." Bergerio said. "I once planned to retire and go back to be a naive and happy pastor, playing football with the kids, so you don't need to be so nervous. , This is just a mere greeting."
"The pontiff can't talk anymore after he cut the trachea." Joseph said, "Other than that, it's not bad, but it's a long way to get back to health and playing football with you, Bishop."
"Can't he preside over the Easter ceremony?" Bergerio asked.
"This is not my responsibility."
"Then what is your authority? The Pope's servant? Oversees the progress of the secret meeting? Several bishops are curious about what you do. Can you tell me, how can I introduce you to others?"
"You can tell them that I am responsible for protecting the Vatican and the Pope." Joseph said with a smile.
"I think the Swiss soldiers are already capable of this duty, as well as those security companies."
"The church is an ancient and mysterious organization. Although it is not the oldest and mysterious, there are many secrets hidden here. I suggest you be cautious in your words and deeds in the city." Joseph said. "These ancient buildings and sculptures are very fragile and easy. Broken, it’s not suitable for playing football inside, and please try not to go to places with few people. There are already many ghosts who don’t want to go to heaven."
"What?" Bergerio asked weirdly.
"This is an old house. It is not surprising that there are one or two ghosts in red. They died before they were ready to go to heaven. Are you ready? Bishop."
Bergerio hadn't spoken for a long time, Joseph bowed respectfully at him, then turned around and left.
Although he is wearing a black robe for training students, he walks like a rock star on the stage.
