Chapter Ninety-Four: The Confessional Chamber
The confessional room can also be said to be the confessional room, which can be said to be the most distinctive facility of Catholicism, and in a sense more interesting than the Buddhist scripture pavilion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the Catholic theory, the church was founded by Jesus, and the church gave power to the pope, layer upon layer, and finally to the priest.
Therefore, when a priest listens to the confession of others, he is listening on behalf of God.
The confessional itself is not large, probably slightly larger than a newsstand.
There was a partition in the middle of the confessional room, and the priest went in first, and then the congregants went in from the other side, not seeing each other.
In this case, the faithful confesses their sins to the priest, who also has a duty of secrecy, and no matter how terrible the crime he hears, the priest cannot tell anyone else.
But in the eyes of a man with a rather dark heart and full of conspiracy theories, this confessional room is the darkest place in Catholicism, several times darker than indulgences and the bedrooms of molested young children.
First of all, those people would never believe that the priests would really keep secrets, who knows how many pinhole cameras are hidden in the confessional chambers that claim to be secret, and who knows how many powerful incriminating evidence those sanctimonious clergy have obtained in this way.
In the dark Middle Ages, this method greatly contributed to the power of Catholicism, which was the greatest contributor to the final overthrow of the royal power and the complete domination of the Middle Ages.
Of course, these are all thoughts of people who are extremely dark in their hearts, and it is understandable for them to think so, after all, the real wicked people will not repent.
Only those who still have good thoughts in their hearts and are uneasy about the bad things they have done will confess to the Lord and beg for forgiveness.
People who don't think they're wrong in the first place, or who are already crazy about it, don't do it.
So now the question is, what kind of person is this priest Austin?
Is it a good priest who will keep secrets for believers and listen patiently in the place of the Lord, or is it a virtuous priest who uses his position to collect evidence of believers' crimes?
What needs to be emphasized here is that Bell is the blackest of black, the black characters are boundless, and the Reservoir Dogs team under him are all all-black existences.
Even the seemingly unreliable Red Lotus and the more trustworthy Ann are all black, and as long as Bell's order is given, it will be the same regardless of whether the target is an old man or a child.
During this period of time, the confessional room that Austin tried to implement was quite popular in the Imperial Capital Church, not only within the church, but even some important officials in the Imperial Capital came here to confess, which really made people feel that this is really a world full of good people.
In the beginning, it was some church girls who came out of curiosity, and the sins they confessed were also the troubles of some women, such as secretly falling in love with their best friend's boyfriend, and the new stupid priest always not understanding their hints.
And Austin's performance is more like a friend of women than a priest, and he has received countless praises for a while.
This was the beginning of the popularity of the confessional room in the imperial capital, and as time went by, more and more people came, and the status became higher and higher.
After the complete invasion of the world of the Dark Alliance, the number of people who came here to repent skyrocketed.
Not long ago, Austin even received a confession from Reich Chancellor Bach that he was about to kill a group of patriots for the good of the Union.
This is more embarrassing, after all, the mastermind behind all this is his immediate boss.
But in Austin's view, this is nothing more than a matter that can be ended with a smile.
Faced with Griseda's request, Austin sent the four little girls who were with him away and went to church with Griseda.
On the way, the old grandmother suddenly asked, "Then again, who are the four girls who have been following you?" β
"Those four children, I picked them up from the street, and each of them was quite gifted, and I taught them as their teacher."
Griseda's voice was strange, as if there was something in the words: "That's right, I picked it up." Speaking of which, you and Mariana seem to be very close. β
"Mariana is a very great life magician, and she is the godmother of this generation, every time I see Mariana, I have a feeling that the mountains are looking up, and I can't help but ask her some questions."
Although it was a clichΓ©, Griselda was very satisfied with Austin's reply: "It's good that you can have this kind of awareness, you must know that almost half of the godmothers in the history of our church have ended up as concubines of the emperor, although because of the violent death of the previous emperor, Marianna did not have a deep relationship with the previous emperor, but she has a good relationship with this emperor."
Although His Majesty is still young, Mariana is not very old, so maybe the two of them still have a chance. β
The old woman babbled all the way and stopped when she finally reached the confessional.
This confessional room is not large, and is converted from a vacant room.
Although she couldn't see anything from the outside, the old lady still walked around several times, including the compartment belonging to the priest, and then entered the compartment that belonged to the believers.
Speaking of which, although Austin, Bell's right-hand man and the veteran of the Reservoir Dogs Squad, belongs to the kind of character who is so black that he is boundless, he is very disdainful of the act of installing a camera in the confessional room.
I don't know if it's because he himself feels a different kind of stimulation to confess his sins without seeing each other, or because he met Bell in the first place because he was in the confessional room.
But there are no cameras, but there are a few other things.
When Griselda walked into the confessional room, he saw that the space was not large, just enough to accommodate one person.
The layout is also very simple, only a chair and a table.
There is a window opposite, but you can't see Austin on the other side.
Just as Griselda was distracted, Austin's deep voice came, "Lord Griseda, you can begin." β
In this special confessional room, Austen's voice becomes extremely mysterious, as if it descends from the supreme place, but it does not give people a sense of oppression, but it will feel extremely intimate, and people can't help but think: this is probably the voice of God.
Austin on the other side also sat down, and waited for a long time before hearing a voice from the other side: "Do you believe in the existence of God?" β
If this question had been before the Third World War, when Chen Mo had not swept everything, Christians with a little knowledge could have said a long paragraph.
But after that, the question is awkward.
Just because after the emergence of the common god of the human race, the more enlightened religions such as Taoism and Buddhism, which were born in China, are fine, and the religions such as Christianity and ******, which preach the existence of the only true God in this world, are in a rather awkward situation.
When the real gods appeared in the world, and they couldn't fight with their own gods, many sects were greatly hit, and they expressed that they absolutely did not recognize the status of Chen Mo in the Japanese side at that time, and some of the more extreme sects even launched a suicide raid on the dark alliance at that time.
The result of this has been an extremely bloody rectification that will be difficult for future generations to find even in some human rights countries.
At that time, Catholicism was also very miserable, and because of political correctness, it was basically impossible to cry.
In order to adapt to the changes of the times, the Catholic Church has also undergone a considerable degree of rectification, and it is much more enlightened than before.
Even so, for their own God and Chen Mo, a god who exists now, the question of which is the true god will basically be deliberately avoided.
"My job is to listen, Master Griseda, please speak for yourself.
But with that in mind, it looks like you've come across something incredible lately, and that must be a good thing. After all, meeting a god, even a god in doubt, is a rare good thing. β
"Haha, it's incredible, it's incredible, but it makes people wonder what to do.
I know that there are a lot of people in the church who say that I am old and stubborn, and that people are not very receptive to new things at my age, but I can't help but believe that I really saw God after that incident not so long ago. β
