Chapter 104 Materialists add glory to God's name

Hehe, Xi 0 always dares to say, what are you afraid of?

Original words: Standing at 9.6 million ...... More than 9.6 million square kilometers of land!

Broken thoughts: Shannan, Wanwan, Nandiao, (delusional) Tianchi and Tumen estuary......

……

Title.

……

Materialists add glory to the holy name of God.

This sounds like big news.

But in reality it is quite normal that materialists do not believe in the name of God, but glory can be reaped in themselves, and consciousness can react on matter. Well, it's not impossible to be pretentious.

……

Well, having said all this, it was Pope Alexander VI who sent someone to tell Ferdinand and Isabella that when the French were driven out next spring, they would be officially awarded the title of "Catholic King".

It is said that the original Ferdinand and Isabella, although their life style and political views have been staged, but they have an inexplicable attachment to religious beliefs. Approving Columbus to travel to the New World and spreading Catholicism was an important reason for Queen Isabella's motivation.

At the time, Isabella was born in fear of the peaceful expansion of the Ottoman Empire in Europe, and the 1500 apocalyptic doctrine was also affected by this situation. After Isabella ended the Castilian Civil War, she began to fight Granada, and Ferdinand also commanded the important Battle of Malaga.

Further, since the 8th century, long before the Great Schism between the Eastern and Western Churches, Spain has been in the Reconquista for more than 800 years, and it is in the course of this long struggle against paganism that the national identity of modern Spain began to coalesce (even so, of course, Portugal became independent, and today Catalonia is on the verge of movement).

At present, Catholicism does have a national and national cohesion for Spain, and if there is anything left to agree between the Aragonese and the Catalans...... I'm afraid they all believe in Catholicism.

The title of "Catholic Double King" will be awarded by the Pope, which naturally has many benefits for Ferdinand, for example, at home, whether it is Castile or Aragon, his prestige can be brushed, and it will be a help to tie up Castile and possibly Flanders in the future. The follow-up impact mainly depends on your own play, and this aura has a bit of a role when you start with the territory.

However, Ferdinand was also aware of the serious problems of Catholicism. Christianity's suppression of Western science, no matter how much it forced the bigwigs to wash the floor, Ferdinand also knew it deeply. The current ills of the Catholic Church, and the fact that it occupies too much of the pie (but mainly because of this problem), will in the future lead to a great Reformation in Western, Central and Northern Europe.

And then for Spain, it's bad. In the Mediterranean, the Ottoman Empire is expanding into Italy, with the two Sicilies and the island of Malta bearing the brunt, and to the north? Alas, Holland, Holland, if Ferdinand could get it, then Spain, in addition to the pressure here in the Mediterranean, would have to deal with the onslaught of Protestantism in the north, and it was the Calvinists who advocated the killing of the king!

However, these problems did not bother Ferdinand, and he had thought about them many times, and they could all be solved, and the solution was the Reformation!

It is not a tear with Catholicism, it is a reform of Catholicism itself.

The scope and time span of this reform are somewhat large. For now, though, Ferdinand has already taken his first steps.

Reform should start with oneself.

To improve the image of the Catholic Church, of course, first of all, it is necessary to improve the image of the Catholic king. Only in this way can the reforms led by the king be approved and followed, reap practical results, and promote the continuous progress of the country, the nation, and society.

To sum up, it can be regarded as a brief summary of Ferdinand's reasons for engaging in a cult of personality.

The conclusion is that there is nothing wrong with it at all!

Isn't it?

Thus, first with the help of the school, Ferdinand's plan to "improve the image" was implemented.

As for religious universities, there are not many in Aragon at present, but they are all Catholic kings, and it is not easy to open a religious university. Further down the secondary school became an important medium for Ferdinand to inculcate the idea of a cult of personality.

Without a doubt, it is Sardinia that suffers the most.

It is very unusual that Sardinia as Ferdinand is really a place with eyes and hands, but there is no university!

Of course, if His Holiness knew about the advanced natural sciences that Ferdinand was going to teach at his new university, he would probably call Ferdinand out of order.

However, Sardinia's university for teaching the natural sciences and the humanities and social sciences, the envisioned "University of Cagliari", has not yet been built. Ferdinand, on the other hand, was to open a purely religious university in Sardinia, the "Université de Cagliari". And the universities that teach the natural sciences also have religious studies courses and religious content in them - of course, Ferdinand's university religious studies courses and religious content must be full of manual comics.

But, for now, the first place where the religious university is in a hurry to start construction is not Sardinia, but Corsica, which appeared again in the previous chapter.

The people here do not identify with the Spaniards, but they do not have any deep hatred, and the rebellion of some peasants (and some nobles who do not know the value of life standing behind them) has been dealt a heavy blow, and it is the right time to release the dove of peace to assist.

The establishment of religious universities such as the "Ajaccio Religious University" and the "Cagliari Religious University", as well as a series of "Ferdinand version of the religious schools", not only strengthened loyalty, but also increased literacy and raised the cultural level of the people. Kill two birds with one stone.

The lecture was taught in the form of a "classical" "sandwich" according to Ferdinand's plan, beginning with a praising of God at the end and a grand discourse in favor of the great Ferdinand in the middle.

The religious studies courses of ordinary universities also record the praise of the great achievements and hard work of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella as a subtle content in textbooks and integrated into history.

For example, the following paragraph -

"King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella are widely recognized as true Catholic kings and monarchs, and their famous exploits have become almost universally famous.

"They are not satisfied with what they have done, but they make every effort, study hard, work diligently, sparing no effort or expense, not fearing danger, not even shedding their own blood, in order to accomplish the cause of God and devote all their strength.

"Their exploits in recovering the kingdom of Granada from the tyranny of the Moors are proof enough.

"They add glory to God's name!"
