Chapter 121: The Pope is Infallible

The second is to ask for recommendation votes

In order to save face, Bishop Gregory decided to hold a press conference at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart and answer them many questions about the rights and wrongs of Catholicism.

The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart is closed today, and it is specially used to receive invited journalists.

The sound of the organ reverberates quietly between the columns, candles illuminate the hall, and the choir children present beautiful hymns to God.

No one would have imagined that such a peaceful and holy place would be a filthy world of filth.

Everyone else has similar questions in their minds, but they don't dare to discuss them casually because of the authority of religion.

Bishop Gregory sat among the reporters, dressed in a splendid red robe and posing as a benevolent old man. Signal everyone to relax.

He kindly explained, "We Catholics have a zero-tolerance policy for scum and will never allow scum to appear among us. So you can rest assured that the situation in Catholicism is not as pervasive as it is spread by people with ulterior motives from the outside world. They just want to use public opinion to achieve their ulterior goals. The holy religion of Catholicism and the religion of persuading people to do good will never openly do anything contrary to social morality under some banners. ”

"The Lord is always merciful."

"Since Bishop Gregory thinks the Lord is merciful."

A reporter threw out a pointed question that he had prepared, and he hit the nail on the head, "But according to the information disclosed by the reporter named Borst, and after our investigation, we found that the vast majority of the cases he listed in recent decades were true, but in the end it was still not true." And because of this incident, some believers have doubts about their beliefs, and I ask Bishop Gregory how he justifies this situation, and how does the Holy See view it? ”

The candlelight reflected Bishop Gregory's face, and he took a deep breath and slowly explained, "I'm sorry, but the Pope is not fallacious. So we are not at fault with Catholicism, but a very small number of scum lurking around. ”

The journalist asked, "What does Bishop Gregory mean is that the clergy are also right to molest young children?" ”

When Bishop Gregory heard this, his face immediately turned gloomy, and he said solemnly, "No, Catholicism represents the will of God, and theological orthodoxy will never be wrong, and we will never allow the use of these messy things to negate our orthodox authority." ”

"So the Catholic Church is not at fault in this matter?"

"Yes, the Pope is infallible, and this statement is always true."

"And the same with young children?"

"We will conduct an internal investigation and give everyone a satisfactory answer. Well, I've answered your questions. ”

The reporter wanted to continue the interview, but Bishop Gregory ended the interview on the grounds that the time was up. Since the other party's attitude is resolute.

The reporter had no choice but to give up his plan to continue digging deeper. He also compiled the words of Bishop Gregory and published them in the form of the "Reply of Bishop Gregory".

However, Bishop Gregory did not have a well-thought-out question and answer, but he detonated a storm of controversy among the literati in Paris, and completely pushed him to the forefront of public opinion.

"The Pope is infallible?"

When Garian saw this title, he was stunned, he had thought that it would not be until 1870 that the ambitious Pope of Rome would come up with the ridiculous claim of "infallibility", but he did not expect that there would be people in Paris now waving the flag for his ambitions.

The papal infallibility of 1870 even led Chancellor Bismarck to carry out an anti-Catholic campaign in the Second German Reich, and told Kaiser Wilhelm that the Catholic-dominated countries of southern Europe united against German rule and must suppress Catholicism.

The mainstream secular community at the time was also disgusted by the papal infallibility, and newspapers denounced the Vatican's atrocities in trying to drag the world back into the dark Middle Ages.

"I thought Bishop Gregory was just bad, but I didn't expect this man to be stupid and bad."

Garion looked at the smiling old man in the newspaper with a serious expression, and spontaneously felt disgust from the depths of his heart.

Gregory made the mistake of having an involuntary resistance to religion among the French intellectuals after the Enlightenment of the last century, and he did not anticipate that he would be able to shake open the coffin board in the PanthΓ©on by putting forward the idea of the infallibility of the pope.

Fight, must fight!

Gregory shouted that the Papal Church would never make mistakes, stepping on the tail of progressives, causing disgust and denunciation among the literati in Paris. Previously, they were reluctant to get too involved in moral disputes and feared the power of the Catholic Church, but this time it was the Catholic Church that made the first mistake and annoyed the literati who fought to defend the secular.

Catholicism must not be allowed to rise above the secular status again!

For the first time, Baudelaire's literary salon at home presented such a serious scene, as if it were not a casual exchange, but a loud denunciation.

Standing in the middle of the crowd was Baudelaire, a staunch defender and opponent.

"The Pope of the 'two-legged beast', the missionary of the 'civilized villain', the most shameful deceitful Catholicism set up by some cunning man is back! They are not willing to accept their current status, and they still want to restore the dark continent of the Middle Ages. ”

At Baudelaire's literary salon, he angrily placed the newspaper in front of everyone.

Dumas made a rare serious expression, looking at Baudelaire's speech, originally about the war between Galian and the Catholic conservative forces, they were reluctant to get involved, but now it seems that the other party's ambition is not as simple as being a secular arbiter.

"Remember what Voltaire called for? He called on everyone to fight the monstrous religious fanaticism in their own way, with some biting his ears, others stepping on his stomach, and others scolding him from afar. ”

George Sand, who was silent, also spoke.

"Bishop Gregory's interview is a test of our attitude, and if we don't take decisive measures, these religious people will have to go further."

George Sand had learned the so-called clergy when he was campaigning for women's rights, so he always fought to the end in the struggle against the other party and did not take half a step back.

She raised her hand and said to the silent people around her, "I'm sorry, I'm going to join this fight. Not for Galian, but for the secular civilization of Paris. ”

"I don't want to see women become vassals of religion again, and since I have taken the Pope's ridiculous view of infallibility into hijacking believers, then I will slap this back in the face."

"Tell these damn pedophiles that Paris is not up to you!"
