Chapter 174: Private Faith (Part 1)

God is in every heart!

Faith is a private matter, a truth that even elementary school students knew in later generations, but in this era it is an unimaginable transcendence in thought.

Before the Reformation, the Church had full control over the interpretation of religion, and the priests and priests were like God's spokesmen on earth, and all the words of God were conveyed by them to believers and explained by them.

It can be said that they play the role of both God's servants and God's servants.

It's hard to say how many of them are true believers and how many are hypocrites who deceive the world.

As for the ordinary believers, they are like sheep that have been grazed, and at the same time they are raised, they will also be taken away from all the valuable things such as goat's milk, wool, flesh, bones, etc., and in the end, the vile deceivers will plunder the wealth in the name of God, and the poor ordinary believers will lose everything, even their own souls.

Until then, it is difficult to say which side Father Luther belonged to. He appears to be ignorant because of his ignorance, and because of his ignorance he becomes an accomplice to sin, ignorant of the unforgivable sin of committing unforgivable crimes.

Knowing that today, Eugen's few words finally woke him up completely.

God is true and good, and the truly sinful ones are those who deceive in the name of God.

And the most powerful weapon in the hands of these thugs is the indulgences! Once they lose their sacred aura, they are no different from waste paper, but they are the property of believers who have deceived them again and again, using irresponsible lies as a cover to deceive believers who might have survived into the quagmire of death.

After that, the poor believer had to be stigmatized in order to maintain the sanctity of the indulgence.

One can imagine how much Father Luther hated the indulgences themselves, and the people who made and sold them, after he understood this.

This hatred was so strong that it almost burned his eyes, and it was under the support of this strong hatred that Father Luther made up his mind to devote his life to the destruction of indulgences, and he wanted to completely erase this source of sin in the name of God from this world.

This is not a simple matter, and to do so is to be the enemy of all the churches in the world today, including the pope today, as well as Father Luther's former teachers, colleagues, and friends......

Many of these people may have been able to understand Luther's approach, but many more were Father Luther's enemies.

Once Father Luther touches their interests, those people will definitely hate Father Luther, as the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.

Such a deep hatred is bound to provoke an unimaginably strong backlash.

But the power behind him is also very strong, and it can be said that all the poor believers who have been deceived, all the people who have suffered because of the indulgences, are the source of Father Luther's strength.

And it is conceivable that even if there are some difficulties for the time being, the future will eventually attract light, because what they represent is the truth.

Besides, Father Luther knew that he had the greatest help in front of him, and that was the Count Eugen in front of him.

At this moment, he looked at Count Eugen with excitement, his eyes were already full of tears, and by this time, he naturally understood all of Eugen's previous actions.

Eugen did everything to make him understand these truths, which means that Eugen had already thought these things through.

"Count Eugen... Your great kindness to me..."At this point, Father Luther was already choked up and speechless, out of respect for Eugen, he unconsciously used the honorific title, and in his heart he already regarded Eugen as a teacher-like figure.

With tears in his eyes, Father Luther made a gesture to kneel in front of Eugen and express his gratitude to him.

Seeing this, Eugen hurriedly supported Father Luther's body, did not let him kneel on the ground, and said at the same time: "You don't have to do this, Father Luther, I didn't do anything, but because of my negligence, I accidentally put you in danger." ”

With tears in his eyes and a look of utter anger on his face, Father Luther remembered what he had seen along the way, and wondered how many poor people had lost their lives because of indulgences.

The faces of those men lingered before Father Luther's eyes, like a sharp knife tearing through a bloody wound in his heart.

"That damned indulgence, damned people, they are shameful liars! They used God, they used the divine, and they were Judas! It should be burned by the fireworks of hell for a thousand years!! ”

Father Luther roared with rage, and it was hard to imagine that his thin body could make such a majestic roar, like the roar of a wounded lion, and the most daring person would tremble when he heard it.

Seeing Father Luther's appearance, Eugen nodded in understanding, and then sighed and said, "Alas, yes, Father Luther, you are right, the sins of those people are really infuriating. ”

"Still, you have to restrain your emotions." Eugen first agreed with Father Luther's statement, and then changed his tone and began to persuade Father Luther: "The most important thing for you at the moment is to calm down first and restore your mind and body to the best state!" ”

Father Luther understood the truth of Eugen's words, but he was so angry that the feeling of being deceived burned his heart like a fire, and if it were possible, he really wanted to burn them all at the stake and sleep every day listening to the terrible wails of sinners.

"Count Eugen! Please, give me a squad of soldiers, I'm going to get those bastards down!" I'm going to burn them at the stake and burn them all!" ”

Father Luther suppressed his voice and let out a silent roar at Eugen, the young man who had lost his mind and was almost insane.

"Luther!" Eugen suddenly shouted, shocking the crazy Father Luther, and then he grabbed Father Luther's shoulders tightly, and said with a serious expression: "Father Luther! You see, it's a war! A battle of faith that belongs to us, to God and to all believers! It's not for me or you to do it alone, it requires us to mobilize more people and get everyone involved! ”

Eugen's words were as impassioned as the oath before the Great War. This passage can be regarded as a declaration of war against the Holy See, and once it is heard by someone who cares and informs the Pope, it will inevitably lead to unimaginably serious consequences.

The Pope can tolerate Eugen killing a nobleman, or even Eugen killing a bishop, but he absolutely cannot tolerate Eugen saying these words.
