Chapter 048, Saints

() Jerusalem

The city is the Muslim Quarter in the east, the Jewish Diocese in the southwest, and the Christian Quarter in the center of the two religions, which can be said to be the most fiercely contested area of modern religions, and the place where Judaism and Christianity have the greatest conflict between Islam and Islam

The well-known Palestinian-Israeli conflict is still the biggest root cause of the religious conflict, with the belief in Judaism and Christianity being derived from Judaism, and Christianity is closely related to Catholicism, and the beliefs are the same, but the doctrines are somewhat different

Therefore, Christianity in Jerusalem is in close contact with the Catholic Church in the Vatican, and the reason why Pope Mario has difficulty mobilizing the Saints and the Templar Assassins is simple, because the mission of the Saints and the Templar Assassins is to defend Jerusalem, unless the Catholic Church is in unsolvable trouble, and the Saints and the Templar Assassins will not leave the holy city of Jerusalem

At this time, as the highest authority of Christianity in Jerusalem, the eight archbishops of the church all appeared, they looked at the heads in front of them, full of shock, but more angry, although the relationship between Christianity and the Vatican is not subordinate, but in essence, Catholicism and Christianity are one, because they both believe in God

On top of that, the eight archbishops were all sent from the Vatican, and when they were promoted to Templar Assassins, they were sent directly to Jerusalem, so they were naturally indignant as Templar by birth

"The Pope says it's a disgrace to Catholicism and Christianity," the cardinal from the Vatican said in just one sentence

But his words were like adding fuel to the fire, which made the entire Christian church in Jerusalem excited, and the eight Templar assassins were full of murderous intent

"Who was the one who killed the Templars?" asked the Templar Assassin who was leading the way

Cardinal "Prophet" looked at the Templar Assassins and bowed his head, saying, "The Prophet of Iraq is the one who killed twenty Templar Assassins and sent their heads to the Vatican."

The "Prophets" and the Templar Assassins changed their faces, saying that now Islam does not even have a caliph, let alone such a divine figure as the Prophet, could it be that during the period of their seclusion, there was a recognized prophet in Islam

"This prophet is a pseudo-prophet, self-appointed and not recognized by any other Islamic country except Iraqis," the cardinal explained, recalling the new Iraqi reunification

However, several of the Templar Assassins were frightened, and although the cardinal said that they were false prophets, only the Iraqis admitted to them, although they were all hidden, did not mean that they were fools, and they knew very well how deep the Arab countries were about Islam, and that these believers were many and even fanatical

And this prophet was able to establish a state in Iraq and overthrow a puppet, and make the surrounding countries obey and say that he was a false prophet

Seeing that the Templar Assassins hesitated, the cardinal suddenly said: "If this prophet is allowed to grow up, the most terrible thing is not the country of Iraq, but his own influence, you think, when the whole Arab country recognizes him as a prophet, he will be even more terrible than Muhammad, the founder of Islam, maybe he will become another revivor of Islam, and then we will probably lose Jerusalem, lose Israel, and even lose the diocese of Eastern Europe, imagine the former Arab empire."

Although the cardinal's words are somewhat alarmist, after all, modern man has opened up to the point where it is impossible for an Arab empire to emerge, but he is at least right that if the influence of the prophet grows, it will not be beneficial to Christianity, Catholicism, or even Judaism

They don't need a united Islam, let alone a united Arab region, the Middle East war has been fought for so many years just to break up the Arab region under Islam, they have done it, and now it is impossible for anyone to reorganize them, this region is not tightly entrenched, there is no holy land, and moreover, more than seventy percent of the world's oil resources are united in such a place as the Middle East, and even the United States can only hope for it

"You go first, the Jerusalem Church will take care of this," one of the Templar Assassins said suddenly

After the cardinal left, the Templar Assassins discussed and finally decided to report the matter to the Saints, and the stakes were too high for them to decide

On the top of Mount Mori in the temple district of Jerusalem sits a man wrapped in a black veil that would have been considered a Muslim of Islam by his dress, but on his chest hung a cross and a Jesus, which proved that he was a Christian believer

This man sat on the top of the holy place in the scorching heat, but no one disturbed him, and it was the seat of the Islamic diocese, but all who saw him were accustomed to it, and he did not know when this man appeared in Jerusalem, and he used to do penance on the rock face

If you don't catch up with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Jerusalem is still very calm and peaceful most of the time, and this person will almost always get up early, regardless of war or peacetime, and he will come here to sit all day, and he will not see him drink water, let alone eat and drink, and every time it is time to fall, he will stand up and leave by himself

Today, of course, the same is true, but it is unusual that several Christian archbishops came to the diocese of Islam, and they went to find this man

Although Islam and Christianity do not have a cold relationship with each other in Jerusalem, the chances of conflict are very rare, but trying to swagger into other people's dioceses will still encounter hostility, but these archbishops can no longer care so much

When they came to the top of the rock of Mount Molly, they were all respectful to the ascetic, but the ascetic did not speak, and lasted for half an hour before he slowly opened his blue eyes and said, "Is there anything important?"

Surprisingly, it was a woman, and she seemed to be very young, but the Templar Assassins were not surprised that she was a woman, and she was a saint of both Christianity and Catholicism, and she had progressed from Templar to Templar Assassin and finally crowned a saint

One of the Templar Assassins explained what had happened in the Vatican, but the Saint was not surprised, but simply asked, "Do you really think that prophet dared to provoke the Vatican, or did the Vatican send the Templars to provoke a dispute?"

"This," the Templar Assassins froze, apparently unexpectedly unexpected

"You are all Templar Assassins, and you know the teachings of the Bible no worse than I do, if the Pope had taken the initiative to provoke disputes, even the Heavenly Father would not have agreed with the Lord and loved the world, but did not like those who used his teachings to provoke wars, whether they were rulers or popes," the saint said in a grim tone

"But let's just leave it at that, although it may have been the Pope's own initiative, isn't it too arrogant for this man to kill twenty Templars and send their heads to the Vatican, besides, he is also a prophet of Islam," said one of the Templar Assassins

The "Prophet," the saint smiled, "interesting, but I think you should read the Qur'an."

The faces of several Templar Assassins changed, they didn't expect the Saint to tell them to read the Quran, and immediately some Templar Assassins were dissatisfied: "Saint, you are the Father's spokesman for force in the world, how can you read the pagan texts, and also their holy texts, these will make you as fanatical as those Muslims in Islam, and will erode your heart."

"That's enough," the saint's tone suddenly turned cold, "you stupid guys, do you know what the first sentence of the Qur'an is, if you can read this Qur'an carefully, you should know that its general meaning is not much different from the Bible, there is no teaching of faith fanaticism, it does not teach people to love war, in this holy book of Islam there are the inspired tradition of Jewish doctrine and the Christian tradition of salvation, but the world must scandalize him and demonize him, and finally provoke disputes with sectarian disputes." ”

As he spoke, the saint took out a copy of the Qur'an from his pocket and handed it to the Templar Assassins, who were dumbfounded, they couldn't imagine that their saint was carrying a pagan Qur'an, only now that none of them dared to touch it, because it was a blasphemy against God against Jesus

Seeing that several people did not dare to take the Quran in their hands, the saint sighed, put away the scriptures, and then said: "You are now in the temple area of Islam, what did those Islamic imams do to you, according to your theory, they should expel you, because in their eyes you are also infidels, but the important thing is that they are not enough to show that this is the good in the hearts of Muslims."

The faces of the Templar Assassins had changed, but at their level of faith, it was difficult for them to be disturbed by the saint's words, and although they were not convinced, they did not dare to say anything, because the person in front of them was a saint

"Jerusalem is supposed to be a city of peace, not a city of war, this is a holy city, a holy city of the three religions," the saint sighed again, she finally sat here not because she wanted to provoke Islam, on the contrary, she held the Qur'an and just wanted to know what the Islamic saints thought in the first place

"What about this," one of the Templar Assassins asked

"Reply directly to the Vatican, we will not participate in any provocative war, and advise them not to participate unless someone comes to the door on their own initiative," the saint said, closing his eyes and going to penance
