Chapter 124: For God's Sake, Conquer the Sun! (Above)
"Have you paid attention to the speech of the sect leader last year, and have you implemented the work assigned by the sect leader?"
"Time is money, efficiency is life, when will you be able to fulfill the great trust that His Excellency the Pope has placed on the Diocese of the East and for me!"
"Could it be that you have come all the way to the East and come to Daming just to be a priest for a day and recite a sutra for a day!"
"Life lies in movement, faith lies in spreading, strength comes from unity, you don't know what you do!"
"You, I'm disappointed, very, very disappointed, and I'm sure God is disappointed in you!"
"If you do this for God again, I will let you personally explain to his old man!"
In the old mansion of the Zheng family, Father-in-law Wei, who is the archbishop of the Catholic Eastern Diocese, was furious.
Xiong Sanba, the head of the Beijing branch of the Catholic Diocese of the East, Luo Qinan, the envoy, and Zhuang Dejing, the student envoy, stood in two rows, bowing their heads in shame.
Guo Jujing, deputy head of the Leading Group for the Sinicization of Catholicism, who had just arrived from Jiangnan, and relevant members of the leading group, including Belgian Fr. Medellón, Spanish Fr. Wal-Mart, and French Fr. Fellitz, were also listening to the hadith of the purple-clothed archbishop.
I don't know when the priests of the Eastern Diocese began to get used to taking out small notebooks to take notes while listening to the teachings of the Lord.
Therefore, although Gonggong Wei was extremely dissatisfied with Beijing Tangkou, the careful recording of these sect members still made the old man a little angry.
Whether it is governing the country, the army, or education, the eight words "study hard and make progress every day" can be used.
The reason for such a big fire is that half a year has passed, but the work of the Beijing branch to promote the sinicization of the Oriental diocese is very backward and formalistic.
Except for a group of priests who all took Chinese names, the rest of the work arrangements of the Beijing branch were not effectively implemented, and even the performance appraisal plan formulated by Wei Gonggong himself was not strictly implemented.
Up to now, the Beijing branch has adopted the previous missionary method, that is, the high-ranking officials and nobles are the missionary objects, rather than the general population.
In terms of missionary methods, it is still dogmatic, completely unable to thoroughly understand the spirit of Wei Gonggong's last speech, and is superficial, bent on taking the so-called "high-end" line, detached from the essence of the Sinicization of Catholicism, and also detached from the Chinese people.
Can this Wei Gonggong not be angry?
He also pointed out that in the future, he voted for the Pope with the world-class strength of the Eastern Diocese!
As far as the current situation of the Beijing branch is concerned, when will his old man be able to get his wish?
The premise of democratic voting is strength!
What is the source of strength?
From the Cultists!
"Are you fighting against the leading group for the sinicization of the Eastern Diocese, against the great Eastern Sect Master!"
Dressed in brown clothes, wearing "loyalty" armbands, and once vowed to be a "steel organization" to serve God, Cui Yingyuan, a bronze saint who had followed the leader of the Oriental Sect all his life, sharply questioned the group of Wen fighters in front of him.
Xiong Sanba and other priests and bishops said in unison that they didn't dare, since His Excellency the Archbishop came up with the new Catholic establishment of Saint Seiya, there are still only a few Wen fighters in the Beijing Branch, but there are hundreds of Wu fighters.
These hundreds of martial artists were all under the orders of this bronze saint named Cui Yingyuan, and the Beijing branch couldn't command them at all.
Moreover, most of these warriors were officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, which gave the priests of the Beijing branch the feeling that they were not recruiting Protestants for propaganda, but were infiltrated by China.
But even their purple-clothed archbishop was a domestic slave of the Chinese emperor, and even if they had opinions, they had to keep them.
Perhaps this feeling is only temporary, and it is not without benefits. At least in the past six months, Nantang's side has not been harassed by the Ming Dynasty government, and the priests' personal safety has been greatly guaranteed when they go out to do business.
The ruffians who used to bully the priests are now gone, and needless to say must be the credit of the warriors.
Although the archbishop's accusations are a bit biased and may be exaggerated in some places, none of the literary fighters in the Beijing branch, including the head of the hall, dare to contradict or defend them, because they really did not do what the archbishop said at the last meeting.
The master of the bear hall tried to ask people to train the priests, teach them to sing songs that the Chinese love to listen to, and then adapt them into biblical stories, but the effect of singing is very bad, even very funny.
The priests protested en masse, and the matter was closed.
"Just keep quiet!"
Gonggong Wei named Xiong Sanba to express his position, and the other party squeaked.
"The North and South Beijing Branch Church can be said to be the double flower red stick of our Eastern Diocese, whether it can complete the important task entrusted to this sect by His Excellency the Pope depends entirely on the North and South Beijing!"
Father-in-law Wei, who was gradually dissipated, also realized that the project of sinifying Catholicism could not be completely advanced by speaking once or twice, but also taking into account the differences between Chinese and Western cultures and the run-in period.
How to solve this problem, Wei Gonggong thought of the simplest and most effective way - supervision.
He announced that from now on, he will set up a post of governor and teacher under the Leading Group for the Sinicization of Catholicism, which will be dispatched to all halls and helms from time to time to inspect and strengthen supervision, and to hold accountable the hall owners and helmsmen who have failed to lead the Sinicization project.
"If it is light, it will be admonished, if it is serious, it will be transferred, and if it is serious, it will be sent back to the Holy See! The post of Governor is recommended by the leading group, and the bishop personally appoints him for a five-year term, not only with the responsibility of inspection, but also with the responsibility of discipline inspection. When I'm done, is there any objection? ”
Gonggong Wei looked around at the saints, and Guo Jujing, who had already had a secret discussion with His Excellency the Archbishop in advance, first expressed his firm support for His Excellency the Archbishop on behalf of the Leading Group for the Sinicization of Catholicism in the Eastern Diocese.
At the same time, Fr. Guo angrily accused some priests in the Church of the Eastern Diocese of corruption, inappropriate lifestyle, and discrediting God.
"The Governor will have a powerful shock to the bad elements hidden among us, and will be powerful to protect the image of God and the diocese!"
There was no objection from the top and bottom of the Beijing branch, and they did not dare to have it.
“… In order to completely accomplish the task of Sinicizing the Diocese in the East, the two capitals in the north and south must play a huge role and become an example for the provinces to divide the rudder. ”
Archbishop Pang Maichen originally wanted to carry out a rebellion in the Eastern Diocese to completely eliminate possible opponents such as Long Huamin, as well as some "non-Catholics" who thought that the Catholic Church was far away, but considering that the current global Catholic movement is mainly expansionary, although he has Paul's support, after all, his roots in the Eastern Diocese are unstable, and his influence is still limited to the Emperor, and it is very likely that launching a Catholic anti-Catholic movement will shake his foundation and harm the Eastern Diocese, which is still weak, so he pressed this idea.
