At a time when the disciples of the church were promised the happiness and glory of a temporary reign on earth, the world, which did not believe in the Holy See, was destined to suffer the most terrible calamity. The construction of the New Jerusalem will go hand in hand with the destruction of mysterious Babylon; And as long as the emperors who ruled before Constantine practiced idolatry, everything that applied to Babylon would fall equally to the city of Rome and the Roman Empire. A cascade of moral and physical calamities capable of harming a prosperous people is ready; internal strife and invasion by the most vicious barbarians from the northern wilderness; plague and famine; comets and eclipses of the sun and the moon; and earthquakes and floods. All of this was only a precursor and forewarning of the unprecedented catastrophe that Rome would face, when the land ruled by Scipio and Caesar would be destroyed by heavenly fire; The city of seven hills, along with its palaces, its temples, and its triumphal arches, will be buried in a great pool of fire and brimstone. However, the vain Rome can still talk to himself. The consolation is that their empire happens to live and die with the whole world; The world, just as it was once destroyed by the Flood, is destined to experience a second swift destruction brought about by fire. With regard to the question of heavenly fire, which will be widespread, the beliefs of the Holy See are fortunate enough to be in harmony with the traditions of the East, with the philosophy of the Stoics, and with the general principles of nature; Even this one from Zong. From the point of view of religion, the country chosen as the starting point and the main site of the fire is also best suited for this purpose from the point of view of natural and material conditions - there are deep caverns, deposits of sulphur, and numerous volcanoes of which Etna, Vesuvius, Lipari, etc., are only a part. Even the most sober and fearless skeptic can hardly refuse to admit it. It is very likely that the current world system will be destroyed by a fire. As for those that are based more on traditional authority and interpretation of the Holy Book than on rational and untrustworthy inferences. The papacies, who are the basis of their convictions, are very convinced with fear and are always looking forward to this inevitable and imminent event; And because they always have this terrible thought in their hearts. Thus they believed that all the calamities that had occurred in the empire were unquestionable harbingers of the imminent destruction of the world.

The practice of punishing some of the wisest and noblest of the pagans with felony merely because of ignorance or unbelief in the reality of God seems unacceptable to modern rational and humane conceptions. But the primitive Holy See Church, which has always had a firmer faith, did not hesitate to place the vast majority of humanity in the category of eternal punishment. Socrates or some other ancient philosopher, who turned to the light of reason before the light of the gospel rose, might have been able to harbor hope for good fruit. But everyone is sure that those who stubbornly persist in the worship of the devil after the birth or death of the church are unworthy. It is impossible to receive righteous forgiveness from an enraged God. This harsh emotion, which did not exist in the ancient world, seems to infuse a bitter spirit into the system of love and harmony. The bonds of blood and friendship are often intertwined by different sects. The resentment of the religious faith was broken. The Papal see, on the other hand, found himself in this world under constant oppression by pagan forces, and sometimes, out of resentment and spiritual pride, tried to revel himself in the victories of the future. "You love the excitement," cried the stern Tertullian, "then wait for the greatest of the excitement, the final eternal judgment of the end of the world." When we see so many proud kings and delusional gods groaning in the lowest dark abyss, so many governors who once persecuted God's reputation melted into a fiercer flame than the one they used to burn the papacy, so many wise philosophers and their fooled disciples blushing in the blazing fire, so many famous poets trembling in the church rather than in the Minoan courts, so many tragedies apparently better at expressing their own suffering. So many dancers -- wait, how happy I will be, how laughing, how merry. What ecstasy. But the fanatical African's vain, emotionless quips about the hell are far more than that, and the humanitarianism of our readers will certainly allow me to hide the rest.

No doubt. Among the primitive Christians there were many whose temperaments were more suited to the spirit of gentleness and love in which they professed. There are many who will have genuine sympathy for the dangers faced by their friends and fellow citizens. We will spare no effort to save them from imminent destruction with the most sincere zeal. The reckless polytheists are under attack from a new and unexpected horror. Neither their priests nor their philosophers could provide them with any reliable protection, and they were often easily intimidated by the threat of eternal torment. Their fears may help advance their faith and reason; And if one day they suddenly think that the sect of the papal see. The sect is also true Zhou Yuna, so that they must believe and believe in this sect. Teaching may be the most complete and sensible choice they can make, and it is just a matter of pushing the boat in the boat.

Therefore, even if it is as strong as a church, it will inevitably encounter destruction and challenges in the process of development, and even many times it has stepped into the brink of destruction, but in the end it still cleverly broke out. Some of these processes are full of myths. Obviously, seeing that the church is about to fall, it only takes a little effort to make the entire church cease to exist, but at this time, an unknown accident suddenly occurs, which allows them to escape death and even develop further.

In this process, there are national forces, there are other organizations, and even after the appearance of the Stranger, the united Stranger forces have tried to attack the position of the overlord of the church many times, but none of them have succeeded. It doesn't matter if the united power is stronger or weaker than the power of the church. It is as if there is an unknown and mysterious force protecting the entire church.

And the occurrence of such an event made the faith of the whole church even more crazy, and they began to feel that there are real gods in this world. And they are also the children of fate favored by the gods, so they have further exploded into infinite combat power.

Although it is an enemy. But Wu Ling also has to admit that the church is indeed much more transparent than Shueisha in many ways. Take every disaster in the church, for example. Whether it is self-caused or due to the ordeal caused by outsiders, it is all shown little by little. And there's not much to hide.

And now the patterns on the frescoes in every church are actually records such things. It's just that there are some things that ordinary people can see, and more things are hidden, and only those who enter the D-class and release their potential energy can observe such records.

Of course, the church did not do this without purpose. On the one hand, they used these murals to warn the rest of the church, even the upper echelons of the church. When you see these murals, you have to make them clear how much suffering the church has endured, and if you want to continue to survive and expand, then you must do your own thing, do your job well, and then pursue further strength. Otherwise. Maybe they will be the next people to appear on the mural.

On the other hand, it is also a warning that the church has had so many disasters, but all of them have survived. In addition to explaining that there may be the favor of the gods, it is also explaining. Their own strength does not care about such a catastrophe at all. So if you really have any ideas, then you have to see if you have the strength on the mural. If not, it's better to be honest.

This is also a strategy of the church. Take the radish on one side and the stick on the other. Choose the surrendered one. Then there will be endless benefits, and if you choose to rebel. Then they will face their crusade. Wherever such a church of the Divine Expression appears, then it will exist. Whether it is the European and American regions that have been occupied by the church, or the Chinese region that still chooses to be the enemy of the church, it is the same thing.

In the face of these things, Wu Ling naturally didn't care about these at all. Maybe the stick is strong, but also choose the object to knock down. If the stick is going to hit the watermelon, then it must be knocked accurately, but if the bottom is a stone, then the stick will not only have no effect on the other party, but will shock the hand, and even break the stick.

And Wu Ling doesn't think he is a watermelon, so the church's current approach is indeed ineffective for him. Of course, although he is not afraid of such a stick as the church, he is absolutely unwilling to take the initiative to confront them head-on, otherwise, he would not have done so much in order to destroy a branch church. It's better to be a little low-key against this kind of behemoth.

Whether it's for him or for the family around him, it will be of great benefit.

"Brother, brother, delicious, delicious, fragrant, fragrant......"

While Wu Ling was observing the layout of the entire church, Xiao Yingying's voice suddenly appeared in his ears. The voice was much more urgent than before, as if a man who had been hungry for five or six days had suddenly encountered a huge delicacy, eager and crazy. However, in this voice, Wu Ling also felt a trace of fear.

Seeing Xiao Yingying's performance, Wu Ling looked in the direction that Xiao Yingying was looking at.

Now Magnolia also has the brilliance of a part of the big city, so although it has entered the middle of the night, the whole city is still brightly lit, although most of the residential buildings are all turned off. But more places still have flickering lights, especially on this side of the church, whether it is the bright energy or the lights outside the church, so that the church is still as bright as daytime.

However, apart from these lights, nothing appeared in Wu Ling's eyes. Faced with such a situation, Wu Ling was not surprised. If the Dream Keeper had been discovered like this, the Dream Keeper would have long since ceased to exist. After all, he is not the only one who knows about the existence of the Dream Controller, Wu Ling believes that in this world, or in some organizations, the understanding of the Dream Controller will definitely be much deeper than him.

The reason why there has been no way to make such a mysterious power disappear is actually because of the mystery and hiding of the dream controller. As long as they are particularly hidden, then everyone in this world is their hiding place, so ordinary means are useless for them at all. Unless it is the Adept who wipes out all the people of this world, including themselves.

Otherwise, even if there was only one person left, then the spiritual power of the high-level dream controller could break free from the shackles of the body. Hidden in the deepest spiritual power of the other party. But not to mention that all the supernatural beings disappear, even if it is to kill all the ordinary people in the entire world, it is not a simple matter.

After all, ordinary people nowadays are not as powerful as those with abilities. However, it also has some advanced technologies in its hands, which are still powerful against the supernatural. Even those superweapons of the highest order. Even high-level abilities will be severely injured.

So if you want to wipe out all the ordinary people, then when nothing changes, those super weapons will definitely be dispatched. Then even if all ordinary people are eliminated in the end, then the loss of the ability will be quite staggering in the end, and even in the process, there will be some new types of ability people who hate the ability. After all, in many cases, hatred is still a force.

With the power of hatred, it is normal for some supernatural beings to be born. But will these Adepts cooperate with those who are going to take them down? Hardly possible, this is the undying enemy. Once someone survives, then the original Adeptus will probably have a restless sleep.

Not to mention that the Alien also needs the Awakened among the Ordinary People, although the Ordinary People are weak, they are the birthplace of the Aliens, and they are the foundation. Ordinary people were all killed. Then the supernatural of the earth's vein will not want to continue to be born, such a thing will never be done by the supernatural.

Not to mention that you have to kill all the supernaturals, the more powerful the person, the longer the person who can live. The more they value their lives. If you want them to kill themselves, stop kidding. That's why the dream controller with super hidden ability will always exist, and it is slowly expanding. Because, as long as ordinary people are still there. Then they will have room to grow, and they will have the resources to continue to be strong.

Therefore, Wu Ling was not surprised that he didn't see anything in front of him, and all the potential energy that he had prepared a long time ago covered his eyes. So. Wu Ling's eyes immediately appeared in front of him a world that was different from that of ordinary people, and the objects in this world were completely different from those seen by ordinary people. In this world, there are colors, and there are colors. But most of it is the presence of smoke.

Just like the scenery that appeared in Wu Ling's eyes now, in an endless void, countless clouds of various colors existed. White, blue, red, green, and more so much more is endless black. The existence of these colors is actually the legendary heaven and earth spiritual energy, absorb these energies, then the ability can continue to be powerful.

And those black are the exhaust gases between heaven and earth, some of these exhaust gases are the power of resentment born after damaging heaven and earth, but more are the exhaust gases spit out after human beings absorb them. This kind of exhaust gas will not only affect the entire environment, but also cause bad symptoms to the human body. And this kind of exhaust gas is the most harmful to the supernatural, once the anomaly absorbs these exhaust gases, then it is like ordinary people eating poison.

Depending on the amount of poison, there may be physical discomfort, vomiting and diarrhea, serious injury, paralysis, and even direct death. Therefore, the existence of such exhaust gases is also a threat to the supernatural.

But now this kind of exhaust gas occupies about 50% of the entire city, that is to say, Magnolia City, or on the earth, can absorb less than 50% of the energy for the supernatural, and the rest of the energy is all exhaust gas that will cause damage to the supernatural. In this way, if the Adept wants to further strengthen it on Earth, you can imagine how difficult it will be.

And this is not bad, with the continuous transmission of energy from the supernatural world for decades, the energy on the earth has only begun to slowly fill, and the exhaust gas is compressed by the energy little by little, changing little by little, so the supernatural can survive on the earth. If you look at the situation hundreds of years ago, the existence of exhaust gases has reached more than 90%, so the ability will disappear completely.

It is impossible for there to be a supernatural in such an environment, and even if one or two are born once in a while, it will be extremely difficult to grow. After all, there are all unusable exhaust gases around you, and there will even be harmful exhaust gases, once you cultivate, it is a life and death trial, and such a danger is not something that anyone can endure.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the warrior who polishes his body does not come out.

Since entering the D-class, Wu Ling has also begun to have some understanding of this world, so he is not surprised by the situation that appears in front of him. Even because the church exudes life energy all the time, the life energy around the church is much higher, and the exhaust gas is much less. That's why the scenery in front of you will be more gorgeous and colorful.

But Wu Ling didn't want to see these scenes. Even if the potential energy is turned on, it even completely covers the potential energy of the C class on the eye. Wu Ling didn't notice anything strange in front of him. This kind of thing made Wu Ling couldn't help but be a little stunned, could it be that his thoughts were completely wrong? Now there are no dream controllers at all?

Soon Wu Ling shook his head. Impossible, not only because of Xiao Yingying's actions, but also because in his senses, this scene has indeed changed to a certain extent, although such a change has not been discovered, but it has surged into Wu Ling's heart. There were some things that were changing, but they were too small or too secret, so he didn't notice them. And this has happened once before. At that time, it was because of the appearance of the Dream Controller that there was such a sign.

And now this same sign is also clearly telling him that there is indeed a dream controller in front of him, but he doesn't notice it.

Seeing such a situation, Wu Ling's expression couldn't help but slowly become solemn. Although he knew from the beginning that the Dream Controller was very good at hiding, he never thought that the other party's ability to hide would be so powerful. Now his strength is not D-level, but has further reached the current C-level, and he is not even a weak person in the C-level.

But even so. All the potential energy burst did not find the other party's figure. Of course, although he couldn't find the other party's figure, in the dark, Wu Ling could also sense where the other party appeared. Although the exact location is not clear, the approximate location is still clear. A burst of attack power if he wanted to. Not only can you make the opponent show your body, but you can even directly kill the opponent.

But. This is something that can only be done on the premise of revealing himself. If you don't reveal his situation, if you want to find out the other party's figure. With his current strength, he can hardly do this, what an amazing thing. It wasn't until here that he really let go of his contempt for the Dream Controller.

Although he has a dream stone in his hand, and even Xiao Yingying, a dream eater, it seems that the entire dream controller does not pose much threat to him. But now it seems that the threat from the other party still exists, even more alarming than he imagined.

You must know how much difference there is between facing an enemy, a clear and an enemy who can't be found at all, as long as it is a normal person, it can be clear. And now, the Dream Controller is an enemy who can hide himself and not be found by anyone, and in the face of such a person, Wu Ling will also feel a little troublesome.

Of course, Wu Ling is not out of the question, but in this way, he is bound to expose himself. Even looking at the ordinary people who are slowly appearing not far away, they may become victims. Even at night, there are many people who come to the church and have enough devotion to the church. And the reason why such a thing happened is naturally because of the legend that trusting the church can obtain supreme power.

It is believed that the papacies possess supernatural powers of very human possession even when they were alive on earth must have comforted themselves and often prompted some outsiders to convert to the Holy See. Except for some occasional and sometimes supreme gods for the sake of the sect. With the exception of the miracles of the Church's temporary cessation of the effects of the laws of nature and the intervention of the Church, the Holy See, from the time of the Apostles and their earliest disciples, has always claimed to possess all kinds of powers: the gift of speech, the divine will, the manifestation of the gods, the prophecy of good fortune, and the power to subdue the devil, to heal the sick, and to raise the dead. Irinius' contemporaries were often taught by God to be fluent in foreign languages, but Irinius himself was embarrassed by the barbarian dialects when he preached evangelism to the natives of Gaul. Inspired by God, whether awake or asleep, when the Spirit is manifested, is considered to be a very generous gesture of grace to believers of all ranks, including women and the elderly, children and bishops. When, by long prayers, fasts, and vigils, their devotion was fully prepared to receive the extraordinary impulses of their feelings, they lost their minds in a state of complete confusion, and in great excitement they spoke of the inspiration they had received from the gods, and became the mouthpieces of the gods as the trumpets and flutes that were to be played. As a side note, most of these visions are intended to reveal the future history of the Church or to guide the current teaching of the Church. Exorcise the devil from the unfortunate people who are allowed to torture the devil. It is regarded as nothing more than a sect. an ordinary but extremely important victory in teaching; And it has been repeatedly pointed out by ancient apologists as the most convincing evidence of the authenticity of the Holy See. This horrific ritual is usually performed in public in front of a large audience. The patient's pain is removed on the spot by the exorcist's mana or spell, and the audience can hear the subdued devil confess that he was a minor god from ancient mythology. Blasphemy should not have stolen human worship. But we only have to think about it, around the time of Irinaeus at the end of the 2nd century AD. The resurrection of the dead is not considered a chariot at all; And whenever the situation requires, the local church will organize a large number of fasting congregations to pray together, so that even the one who has risen from the dead by their prayers can live among the people for a long time, so that this miraculous healing spell, no matter what kind of disease it cures, can no longer cause people to be amazed. At a time when religious believers can come up with so many examples of the victory over death, the skeptical philosophers still reject and ridicule the idea of a resurrection. It seems a little incomprehensible. A Greek of noble birth used this as an important point of contention when he told Theophilus, bishop of Antioch, that if he could see with his own eyes a man who had indeed risen from the dead, he would immediately come to the Holy See. It is noteworthy, however, that the bishop of the first church in the East, despite his eagerness to convert this friend of his to the Holy See, felt it better to reject this fair and reasonable challenge.

The miracle of the primitive Church, after being recognized for many generations, has recently been studied by extremely enlightened depth. Attacks were carried out on it one after another; This kind of research, while generally applauded by the public, seems to have provoked widespread condemnation among the clergy of our own and other Protestant churches in other parts of Europe. Our differing views on this issue do not arise solely from some particular argument. Rather, it is influenced by our habit of studying and thinking about problems, especially our habit of having sufficient evidence to make us believe in a miraculous thing. The duty of a historian does not require him to put his own opinion in this delicate but important controversy; But we shouldn't hide it either. To take a can be reconciled Zong. The theory of the interests of both teaching and reason is indeed difficult, and it is difficult to apply such a theory appropriately. It is difficult not to be infallible, not to be self-righteous, to draw the boundaries of that happy age truthfully and accurately, without being inclined to attribute its causes to supernatural gifts. From the first priest to the last pope. Generations of bishops, saints, martyrs, and miracles, never interrupted; And the process of superstition is so slow that it is almost imperceptible that we do not know that we should cut off the chain of tradition from that particular link. Each age bears witness to the strange events which distinguish it from others, and whose testimony does not seem to carry any less weight and credibility than that of its predecessors, so that if we do not treat the venerable Bede of the eighth century or the holy Bernard of the twelfth century without the same degree of trust that we generously gave to Justine or Irinaeus in the second century, we will be unwittingly led down a path that blames ourselves for inconsistencies. If the reality of any such miracle is to be recognized by its apparent usefulness and legitimacy, then we know that there are many unbelievers in every age who need to be persuaded as well. Many heretics need to be refuted, and some idolatrous peoples need to be converted; Therefore, it is impossible to find a sufficient motive for God to intervene in the matter at any time. However, since every person who receives God's revelation is convinced of the reality of the miraculous power, and every reasonable person is sure that the magic power no longer exists, it is obvious that there must have been a time when this power disappeared either suddenly or gradually in the Holy See Church. And whether we place that period in which era, the time of the death of the apostles, the time of the conversion of the Roman Empire to the Holy See, or the era of the eradication of the heresy of Arians, it is equally surprising that the papacies living in that era would feel nothing at all. Or, they still pretend to have that power after losing their magical powers. In this way, credulity takes the place of faith, and fanaticism is allowed to use the language of the divine inspiration, attributing the effects of a chance event or man-made arrangement to supernatural causes. The experience of a new and truly miraculous miracle should teach the people of the Holy See world to recognize the laws of heaven. And to get their eyes (if we can use a very inappropriate term) to get used to the style of "heavenly workmanship". If one of the most talented Italian painters of modern times had resorted to the name Raphael or Coleggio to dress up his clumsy imitations, this arrogant deception would have been quickly exposed. And was angrily rebuked.

Whatever the idea of the primitive papal church on the question of miracles since the time of the apostles, this moderate disposition of believing in everything, which was so conspicuous among the believers in the 2nd and 3rd centuries. No doubt about Zong. Both the cause and the authenticity of teaching have had some unexpected beneficial effects. In modern times, an latent, even unintentional, skepticism has always haunted the minds of the most pious. Most of the recognition of the reality of supernatural powers is not an active and happy consent, but only an indifferent, passive recognition. Our intellect, or at least our imagination, has long been accustomed to observing and respecting the unchanging order of nature, and is not mentally prepared to see the visible God in action. But in the early stages of the Holy See, the human condition was absolutely different. Among the pagans, the most curious or gullible people. They are often persuaded to join a group that claims to indeed have magical powers. The primitive Papacies are forever based on mystical grounds, and their minds have been trained to believe in things that are absolutely contrary to the norm. They felt, or thought they felt, that the devil was constantly attacking them all around them, and they relied on the apparitions of God for comfort, for instruction from prophecy, and for church prayers to deliver themselves unexpectedly from danger, sickness, and even death. They often think they are their goals, their tools, or the real or imagined bizarre deeds of their witnesses. that they may receive with the same ease but with the same reasonableness the well-documented anecdotes of evangelical history; In this case, miracles that do not go beyond the scope of their own experience can enlighten them to accept with a high degree of confidence the unknowable mysteries that are apparently beyond their comprehension. It was this supernatural reality that made a deep impression that was appreciated in every way in the name of faith, a state of mind that was then regarded as the surest guarantee of God's grace and future happiness. and is portrayed as the highest or only virtue of a papal see. According to the more severe scholars, some virtues that are equally acceptable to non-papacies have no value or efficacy in the work of justifying us.

But the character of man. No matter how excited or depressed it may be due to temporary emotional changes, it will gradually return to its normal natural level. Restore the mood that is best suited to its current state. The primitive Pacifies were untouched by the affairs and joys of the world; But their love of action, which could never be completely extinguished, was soon revived and found a new place in the governing body of the Church. A sect that has been established against the empire. It is impossible for an independent community to carry out attacks without adopting some form of internal policy. and appoint a sufficient number of clergy so that they are not only in this Holy See altogether. and the exercise of spiritual functions in the kingdom, but also in the exercise of secular leadership. The security, honor, and growth of this society, even in the minds of the most pious, gave rise to a feeling similar to that of the early Romans. The same kind of patriotic spirit that the country has in Japan sometimes produces indifference to the means used as long as it is possible to achieve the desired end. The ambition to obtain the honor and office of the Church for themselves or their friends is concealed by the high-sounding intention that they are to use all the power and influence which they are obliged to obtain for that purpose for the common good. In the exercise of their powers, they are often charged with finding out the fallacies of heresy or divisive schemes, opposing the machinations of ill-intentioned fellow brothers, pointing out their nature with appropriate rebukes, and expelling them from the community which they seek to destroy their internal peace and happiness. The clerical leaders of the Holy See were taught to combine the wit of a serpent with the purity of a dove; However, the habit of domination will not only make the former more refined, but also corrupt the latter unconsciously. Whoever is elevated to any high office in public office, whether in the church or on earth, will be respected for his eloquence, courage in action, experience, and proficiency in worldly affairs; When they hide the secret motives of their actions from others, and perhaps from themselves, they often fall into the chaos of active life, but they are infiltrated by the sect. Teaching fanaticism adds a certain degree of bitterness and stubbornness.

The governance of the church is often a sect. The subject of the controversy is again. Teach the object of struggle. The rival polemics in Rome, Paris, Oxford, and Geneva all sought to bring the primitive apostolic church model into perfect conformity with the standards of their respective policies. The few who have studied the subject with sincerity and impartiality believe that the apostles have renounced their legislative powers, preferring to endure some kind of unjust accusations and divisions, rather than to deprive the papacies of future times of their freedom to change the form of their ecclesiastical bodies according to the peculiarities of their time and circumstances. A model of policy that was adopted in the first century may also be found in the practices of the churches in Jerusalem, Ephesus, or Corinth. Sects established in various cities of the Roman Empire. There is only a common faith and a spirit of charity that binds them together. Independence and equality form the basis of its internal organization, and the lack of discipline and human knowledge is supplemented from time to time by the help of some prophets, and all men, regardless of age, sex, or natural disability, can be called to this office, and whenever they feel the urge to receive divine power, they may try to pour out the will of the gods in a general assembly of believers. However, these extraordinary gifts are often abused or misused by the teachers of such prophets. They often showed their gifts on the most inappropriate occasions, arbitrarily disrupted the proceedings of the congregation, and created a long list of pathetic confusions by their arrogance and erroneous fanaticism, especially in the apostolic church of Corinth. By the time the system of prophets had become useless and even harmful, they were stripped of their power and their office was revoked. Sect. The business of the church has since been entrusted entirely to the established church stewards, bishops and elders; And these two titles, at first, seem to have been used to refer to the same position and the same person. The name elder signifies their older age or more importantly, they are steady and intelligent. The title of bishop indicates their responsibility to supervise the faith and conduct of the papacies in the diocese under their jurisdiction. Depending on the number of believers in each diocese, a more or less group of episcopal elders guides each of the newly formed ecclesiastical groups with equal power and consultative attitude.
