Chapter 393: Honorary Bishop (97/104)
Chapter 393: Bishop Honorus (97/104) (Page 1/1)
No matter what the chaos is in private, no matter how many contradictions and conflicts of ideas there are in the church, at least at this moment, everyone in the church holds that breath in their hearts, and only comes to the papal succession ceremony with a calm and pious attitude.
The reasons are, first, because the church itself still needs a pope after all, and if such an important position as the pope is vacant, there will be more chaos for one day.
Second, it is because the person who succeeded to the throne was Mordessal. Modesal, a friend of the Marquis d'Eugen, was chosen by the previous pope to be the heir.
Among them, the fact that he is a friend of the Marquis Eugen accounts for a greater weight.
After all, with Eugen's current prestige among the congregation, as well as his own strength, even if he wanted to be the pope himself, few people would dare to oppose it.
It is even possible to get huge support, and the only reason Eugen does not become pope is simply because he does not want to.
The whole process of the succession ceremony was very peaceful, no one dared to make trouble on such an occasion, but at the last moment, there was a small episode.
The leader of this episode is none other than the protagonist of this ceremony, Pope Modesal.
Pope Mordesal, after officially becoming pope, suddenly announced in front of everyone that Count Eugen would become the honorary bishop of the Holy See.
This honorary bishop does not mean that Eugen will be a little minion in the Holy See from now on, in fact, the meaning he represents is far higher than what he means.
The bishop, in the Holy See, is a status symbol, generally speaking, there will be a bishop in a diocese, and the status of the bishop will also be different according to the size and level of the diocese.
The most prominent of the bishops is the cardinal archbishop of the Holy See, or cardinal, but there are exceptions to everything.
For example, Eugen's current status as an honorary bishop is to surpass the identity of a cardinal archbishop.
After all, bishops are graded by dioceses, and Eugen, as an honorary bishop, does not have a specific diocese itself, in other words, wherever Catholicism spreads, it can be counted as his diocese.
From this it can be seen that the status of the honorary bishop is comparable to that of the pope, and even more seriously, the status of the honorary bishop is higher.
After all, the pope is subject to the cardinals below, who can set up opposition popes and vacate the original pope, but the honorary bishops do not have this problem.
All those who are awarded the title of honorary bishop will remain honorary bishops for the rest of their lives, and when they go there, they will be treated favorably by the faithful.
Even if Eugen is unfortunately captured by the enemy in the future war, if those enemies also believe in Christianity, then they are not qualified to judge Eugen, and must give Eugen preferential treatment, and at the same time, they must negotiate with the Holy See, and the Holy See will come forward to redeem Eugen.
This is the status of the honorary bishop, and it is no exaggeration to say that Eugen has this title, which is equivalent to having a gold medal for avoiding death in the countries where Christianity is common, and he can walk sideways in all places where Catholicism is practiced.
Eugen was also a little surprised by this situation, as Modesar had not discussed this matter with him before.
Looking back now, Eugen understood that this was how Modesal had repaid him, and that the two were both friends and allies in cooperation, having previously reported to him and spoke for him in the Holy See.
Eugen later intervened to defeat the Holy See and let Modesalt succeed him as Pope, and the two sides can be said to be mutually beneficial, and both are steadily increasing their power.
And now, Modesar continued to repay Eugen in this way, and Eugen, of course, would not refuse, so he took over the title of honorary bishop under the eyes of all the nobles and clergy.
Today, Eugen can be said to have reached the pinnacle of Christianity, and because of this incident, he spread his name to every corner where Christianity could reach, and his fame has spread beyond borders and sung throughout the continent.
After the papal succession ceremony, everything returned to normal, the Black Death was completely driven out of the Italian peninsula, the ordinary people who had migrated to the interior of the continent gradually returned, and the crops in the fields were sown and could be harvested before the cold winter came.
At this time, Corleone also took Rambo and returned to the Italian peninsula by boat.
Returning to the place he hadn't seen for a long time, Rambo was also very emotional, but he didn't have time to enjoy the scenery on the road, so he began to look for Eugen's whereabouts.
This time, he also brought back a problem that needed to be solved, that is, Redburg on the island of Sicily, and now there is not much food to eat.
After all, when the disaster broke out before, although they were able to maintain basic order in the town, they were not big enough to continue to let the farmers go out to sow seeds.
Therefore, Redburg has never harvested any food, for so long, everyone in the city has consumed the stock of the library, the number of 80,000 people is not much, and Redburg was one of the granaries of the heavy army before, which can be enough to maintain consumption.
But now, no matter how frugal he is, Redburg is still in a crisis of lack of food, and Rambo was having a headache about this matter before, and as soon as he rushed back to the Italian peninsula, he wanted to find Eugen non-stop and let Eugen find a way to solve this matter.
It was already a matter of life, and Rambo couldn't watch 80,000 people die in the city of Redburg, survive the Black Death, but die of famine, and it would be desperate to think about it.
Coincidentally, Eugen was now on the Italian peninsula, and Rambo and his team inquired a few times along the way, and then found some nobles who participated in the papal succession ceremony, and it was not long before they met Eugen in San Marino.
Seeing Rambo and Corleone again, Eugen was naturally very excited, the honorary bishop of the Holy See, the Marquis of the Empire, almost cried, Rambo and Corleone were the first people Eugen met after crossing, and naturally had a strong sense of intimacy.
Eugen was happy to see Rambo from the bottom of his heart, after all, his Lebour City is now in a critical period of development, and Rambo's talent Eugen also knows that it is a cut above everyone under him, and what Eugen needs most now is such a person who can coordinate the overall situation.
For this reason, he was naturally very happy, after hearing the problem of Sicily raised by Rambo, Eugen also attached great importance to it, and immediately arranged to start purchasing grain in the entire Italian peninsula and even inland areas.
