Be a cardinal canonized by the Southern Yue Army?

If it weren't for Li Shouhan himself and Li Peilin, who was in charge of the political affairs of the Nanyue Army, two of the best figures in the Nanyue Army, sitting in front of him, Alfonso would have thought that there was something wrong with his ears and heard it wrong. Or, like Faust, he was tempted by the devil.

A cardinal, or cardinal, is the most prominent figure in the Roman Catholic Church system! The cardinal-elect must be at least a priest (i.e., a priest or a bishop) and possess outstanding learning, virtue and competence (cf. article 351 (1) of the Code). Historically, cardinals have been laity, deacons, priests and bishops. However, the Canon Law Code of 1917 stipulates that cardinal-elects must be at least priests. In 1962, Pope John XXIII decreed that anyone who was promoted to a cardinal should be ordained a bishop if he was a priest, but several priests who had been appointed as cardinals were exempted from priesthood. Moreover, cardinals have the right to vote for the pope, and their status is extremely high.

Although he accepted Li Shouhan's canonization, he was bound to be regarded as a traitor by the Holy See, and he had no chance to elect the pope from then on. However, it is possible to have a whole parish of its own. Moreover, who can tell which of the dirty things between the Holy See and the Patriarch of Constantinople was orthodox and which was heretical?

It's not whose power is greater, it's who has the final say?

Faced with the temptation to have an independent diocese, a chance to become a de facto pope without a name, Alfonso wondered if his discipline would preserve the bottom line.

It turned out that Cardinal Alfonso's discipline was negative.

In addition to licking his lips, which had become chapped by the intense stimulation of great happiness, he barely managed to hold on to the last trace of clarity in his mind. worked hard to entangle with Li Peilin, who was in charge of government affairs, on the specific affairs of the church after accepting the canonization, such as various rights and obligations.

First of all, he felt that the title or title of cardinal was not imposing enough. insisted on adding a big word in front of the bishop, called the cardinal archbishop, and asked Li Shouhan to canonize him as the cardinal archbishop with the standard of canonizing the vassal kings of various places, all kinds of etiquette, and even the relevant seals and other things should refer to the size of the lord of the vassal country!

"Yes, don't say it's similar to the lord of a vassal country. What's the point of going beyond their specifications? ”

Second, the Church led by Archbishop Alfonso is the only denomination under the rule of the State Government that legally spreads the teachings of Christ, and once heresies are discovered, the State Government is obliged to eradicate these illegal church organizations that spread heresy and confiscate all their property after receiving the Church's message. All the faithful were sent to a forced labor camp for reform.

This one is very revealing.

"Boss, I'm messing with you. You can only have a Bible seller like me on your territory. I'm kind of a franchise. If someone is there with a Bible and sells it, it must be pirated. I'll tell you about it later. You have to be the master of me, confiscate all the Bibles they sold, and punish those who buy them. ”

The third is the division of dioceses.

Archbishop Alfonso meant that in addition to the Nanzhong region, which is currently under the control of the Nanyue Army by various means and forms, including Ha Tinh to Hue, Kowloon River, Schaiba, Chao Phraya River, Java, Luzon, Lingjiawei Island, Lijiapo, Manraka and other places, as well as the Burma, Siam, and Punggara regions, which are now vassals, they are the Japanese kingdom with the nature of a semi-vassal state and Korea with close trade and trade exchanges. Liangguang, Fujian, Shandong, Denglai and other places are also to be included in the diocese.

In other words, "Boss." As long as your banner is there, I can preach the gospel of the Lord under your royal banner. ”

This article was also passed without pressure. Originally, Li Shouhan wanted to establish a church in his own territory that was completely subordinate to him, but now that Archbishop Alfonso had proposed it himself, he simply made a whole favor and handed over the missionary authority to him in these areas.

At that moment, the two sides negotiated the sale price, and Alfonso signed the relevant documents drawn up by Li Peilin. It can be regarded as a handprint on the contract of sale. Alfonso, who had completed this link, immediately fell to his knees and expressed his highest degree of allegiance to Li Shouhan with three kneels and nine bows.

Li Shouhan didn't care, but he thought that the former Europa god in front of him, who had just completed his naturalization, was overjoyed for a while, and he didn't count the number of kowtows. On the other hand, Li Peilin, who carefully sorted out Alfonso's undried deed of sale. Squinted his eyes, he pondered Archbishop Alfonso's actions.

The rest is easy.

The government ordered the division to allocate money and food to plan for the canonization ceremony of Archbishop Alfonso.

The household secretary allocated money and food, and at the same time, the good hands of the accounts crackled the abacus beads and made a budget for the church's expenses for next year. The stewards of the Ministry of Engineering organized craftsmen to paint the walls of the canonization ceremony of Archbishop Alfonso in the square in front of the palace, repaired the grounds, and built the viewing platform and the canopy.

However, it should be Archbishop Alfonso who is the busiest during this time.

To use a famous quote from the famous mouth that has been hacked several times by the unkind author to describe Archbishop Alfonso's mood during this period of time, that is, pain and happiness.

In addition to the specific affairs of planning the canon, one of the most important things for him was to unify the thinking within the church under his direct control. At the same time, find out who are loyal to the heretics of the Roman Catholic See, for whom Archbishop Alfonso has booked a bunk in a penal camp.

"Some of you here have said to me that His Royal Highness is not only not a person who gives his whole body and mind to Jesus, but is a believer in traditional Chinese atheism through and through, but I know that most of the people who believe in this faith are good, so I am not offended by the fact that many of His Royal Highnesses have said about Jesus, even that God does not exist."

God is only the Creator, and believers only sing the praises of God's greatness, and God does not force people to sing praises to Him. And God's claim lies in fairness, and His Royal Highness the Duke guarantees the three major rights of human habitation, land and labor. Therefore, to stand under the banner of His Royal Highness the Duke, to cooperate with His Royal Highness's army and government, and to spread the Gospel of the Lord to the four corners on the greatest scale is to respond to God's call. ”

"In my opinion, His Royal Highness the Duke is the Seraph with the highest status before God."

Archbishop Alfonso's sycophant is exactly the same as the tricks used by the gods of all dynasties to praise their rulers. However, it turns out that the more traditional and old-fashioned tricks are, the better they work. Back then, weren't the same Christian gods boasting that Temujin was John the Elder? In modern times, even the great erudite treasure sage and the great sea master say that the chairman is the descendant of Manjushri and write poems to praise him. In the Buddhist shrines of some Tibetan elders in Tibetan areas, the portrait of the chairman is enshrined on the two living Buddhas, enjoying the most pious and abundant fragrant flowers and fruits.

Archbishop Alfonso's statement immediately caused an uproar among the clergy at all levels of the Church!

What kind of god is the Seraph?

That is the highest of God's angels, the head of the angels! Seraph. Very little labor is engaged, and the only mission (or cloud essence) is to sing the praises of God. It is God's closest envoy, a god-like substance. And in Judaism and Christianity, he is a character who communicates directly with God, a spirit of pure light and thinking, and who resonates with blazing love. He held great majesty and reputation among the angels, and was called "the spirit of love and imagination".

The Seraph, formless and incorporeal, creates life with its vibrations. If you have to be in front of people. It appears in the form of six wings and four songs (there are also two songs). Both Judaism and Christianity describe it as having six wings and holding a hand inscribed with Sanctus (Trisagion in Hebrew; Holy. Holy, holy, the king of all) as the banner of the Flabellum (or fiery dagger).

The Seraphs have six wings. Cover your face with two wings, cover your feet with two wings, and fly with two wings. Open your eyes. It will emit a roar like a lion's roar, and emit a red electric light that crosses the sky, like a long snake (dragon). The Hebrew word for Seraph, which is a portmanteau of the words "healer" and "Most High" (or guardian angel).

"I saw the Lord sitting on a high throne. His garments hung down and covered the temple. There was a seraphim standing on it. Each has six wings. Cover your face with two wings. Two wings cover the feet, and two wings fly. This is the description of the Seraphic Angel in the book of Isaiah.

The identity and duties of the Seraphs are the king of kings, guardian angels. Isn't this the same as the fact that the Church, under the banner and protection of His Royal Highness, is now confidently and boldly preaching the Gospel of the Lord over an unprecedentedly vast area?

No wonder His Royal Highness the Duke is so disdainful of Jesus, it turns out that he is the projection of the highest-ranking clergy around God in the world, and with such a big background, he naturally won't be able to look down on Jesus!

(Smack!) A brick smashed on the head of the unkind author! But it turned out that after hearing these fallacies, the pig's feet of the burning years couldn't hold back anymore, and flew over and smashed a brick on the author's head! scolded in his unique way of being incoherent and a little stammering when he was excited: "You said that the church is engaged in little boys, and it is okay to collect money, after all, there will be no shortage of scum in any organization, but Alfonso is a priest, so bottomless, and too nonsense, I am not finished with you." ”

The unkind author rubbed the big bag on his head and said helplessly: "Brother, you better forget it, you sprayed indiscriminately without even figuring out the way." Don't say that you shoot me with bricks, even if you get your quick knife and Shi Guangrong's submachine gun, it's useless. I don't know anything else, your new monk has long been advocating sickle and axe, and this time he visited Bald Eagle's house, but in the nest of capitalism, he gave a speech denouncing capitalism as the root of all evil, and said that the task of the church is to help the poor obtain the three rights of residence, land, and labor.

In his hour-long speech, Pope Francis called on oppressed people to change the global economic order and denounced the institutions involved in fiscal savings programs as "neo-colonialism." He supported disadvantaged groups in their struggle for the three "sacred rights" of housing, land and labor. He condemned the existing system of blind pursuit of profit, and urged people to "not be afraid to say that we want to change, real change, structural change", arguing that "the system is unbearable", and that "once capital becomes an idol and dominates people's choices." Once the greed for money dominates the entire socio-economic system, it will corrupt this society, condemn and enslave all men and women, destroy the spirit of human fraternity, and turn people against one another. We can clearly see that it threatens our common home.

Furthermore. Pope Francis has also criticized the development assistance policies implemented by international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF). "No power has the right to deprive people of the exercise of full sovereignty, and whenever anyone does that, it is the rise of neocolonialism, which is enough to seriously undermine peace and justice," he said. It was one of the longest, broadest, and most impassioned speeches Pope Francis has delivered since he became pope in 2013.

Pope Francis' criticism of free-market economics has made him the target of left-wing parties and a testament to his claims as a communist. As the spiritual leader of the world's 12 billion Catholics, the Pope considers capitalism to be a source of inequality, which is already the best assessment. The worst assessment he made was to liken capitalism to a killer. Whether the Pope is really what his critics claim. Is a red radical?

I advise you to look for your party card first, and then ask your daughter-in-law to quickly embroider a sickle and axe, in case one day the Pope raises the red flag and captures Wall Street, you can use this as proof that you are a qualified Catholic. ）

"Mercy saves the world, returns to the Yuan, manifests the blessing, deifies the Chong Yuan, and Fuzheng the Archbishop!"

This is the title drawn up by the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the National Government for Archbishop Alfonso, and the canonized gold book and seal letter are all being intensively planned and produced in the office.

At the same time, above the lintels of various churches. A huge plaque has been added to them, "Ordered to be the only Orthodox Church!" "Use such a plaque to advertise itself as the only legally orthodox Catholic group in the Nanyue military area.

The same changes are within the church. On the wall of the pulpit in front of the seats where the Christians were in worship and listening to the Bible was the only statue of Jesus hanging on the cross. Now, under the busy work of the craftsmen, some adjustments have been made. The statue of Jesus was replaced by a new statue that was at least one size smaller. The vacated visual space is left with a huge portrait of Li Shouhan. The portrait hangs above the crucifix, looking condescendingly at the multitude.

According to Archbishop Alfonso, His Royal Highness the Duke is the projection of God's Seraphs in the human world. is the protector of the Church, and it is normal for his image to appear above the crucifix.

With such an example, it is only natural that the congregants will follow suit. Soon, there was a mix of East and West offerings in the homes of the congregants: the cross was underneath, and the Virgin Mary was holding a picture of Jesus or a statue made of holy porcelain on the offering table. High above is Li Shouhan's immortal tablet made of fine wood. It is the same as the dragon card of Emperor Chongzhen.

As for those churches that disagreed with Alfonso, or the clergy, who refused to spread new doctrines among the churches and their followers, and who refused to accept the management and occupancy of the churches in the temples and churches, not to mention the churches that hung the plaques with the words "Orthodox Christianity" on the decorations of the churches, and the churches where the portrait of Li Shouhan was hung above Jesus, the relevant personnel of the Patrol Police Department were soon present.

And soon under the report of the religious believers, all kinds of illegal acts in the church were discovered. From molesting women and children, to tax evasion, concealing donations from church members, embezzling public funds, and even finding a lot of prohibited items from secret places, such as knives, guns, and gunpowder that obviously exceed the legal standards for self-defense, and so on.

One by one, such churches were banned, and the backbone of them were thrown into forced labor camps.

The same method is not only used in the Catholic community. From Taoist temples and Buddhist temples to worship temples and Catholic churches, they are all under the management of the officials stationed in the temples.

In the past, there was a small church behind closed doors, where high-ranking clergy could enjoy good food and wine, and even have some in-depth and frank study activities with young nuns and female believers who came to confess to discuss religious doctrines, but now every penny has to be approved by the resident officials, and if there is no resident official for a while, they have to go to the nearby patrol police station or the village and town government to be supervised. How can this be accepted by these clergy who are accustomed to being kings without tigers and monkeys in the mountains? For a time, Alfonso faced pressure from within the church to rebound. These people did not dare to confront Alfonso openly, but various passive resistance activities emerged one after another.

However, what Archbishop Alfonso himself did not expect was that an allied army descended from the sky to completely change the situation!

The reinforcements were a group of young people from the Calvinist sect who had been beaten to the ground and almost wiped out.

They openly opposed this practice when the Calvinists established their militias, believing that they had to cooperate wholeheartedly with the government in order to better develop and grow their sects. After the militia was almost completely thrown into the mine by Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi, these people learned from the pain, and in order to avoid the complete destruction of the sect, they simply openly stood up, revised the doctrine, and launched close cooperation with the government.

With the help of the ceremonial officials, the Calvinists and Archbishop Alfonso's church with a Roman Catholic background were a perfect fit. A family needs to survive, a family needs to make a big contribution to establish its own image, and beat down the internal discontent.

The Calvinists declared their entirety to join the only legitimate Christian denomination designated by the Catholic Church, which was the Protestant Church under the leadership of Archbishop Alfonso.

Archbishop Alfonso also revised his doctrine to reject the original claim that the believer must be guided by the clergy to be sanctified and to accept the Calvinist scriptures. In other words, believers can cultivate themselves and become holy, and there are five ways to sanctification: reading holy books, donating money, abiding by the laws of the country, participating in national wars, and following the precepts as the gradual path to sanctification, and finally relying on the five merits to become holy.

Doesn't it sound familiar? Much like the epiphany of Zen Buddhism?

In fact, it is not only the Calvinist doctrine that has been adopted, nor is it just the epiphany of Zen Buddhism, but the five paths to holiness mentioned above are quoted from the five merits of Islam.

The teachings of Chinese Protestantism began to develop from a completely Christian doctrine to a combination with Chinese culture and localization. Many believers who were originally anxious about the stipulation that after believing in God, they could not worship their ancestors and worship Confucius, but since then they no longer have a sense of guilt for their ancestors, and they have grandly enshrined the tablets of their ancestors and ancestors next to the cross, and sacrificed on the fifteenth day of the new year.

Alfonso's Chinese Protestantism quickly united the various denominations under one banner and spread the same doctrine in the southern Cantonese military area.

However, in Shandong, it encountered a strong counterattack.

This counterattack came from the Jesuit priest Long Huamin, who was spreading the doctrine and developing believers on the ground in Shandong at this time. (To be continued......)
