Chapter 1311: European Storm (17)
"Chief, is there no problem with the church's finances?"
Seeing the disdain on Jenny's face, one of the subordinates in the room asked.
Obviously, if it were not for the contempt for the side of the church, and perhaps knowing some truth, how could Jenny, as the leader, have such an expression.
Faced with this question from her subordinates, Jenny sneered in her heart.
Of course, there is no problem, how can the bishops in the church who are high and high in the church not have money.
Even the combined wealth of all the countries of Europe today is not as great as the wealth of the bishops of the Church.
This may be an exaggeration, but it is not an exaggeration.
After all, Jenny was once an Assassin and Killer trained by the Church, and her status was not low.
Therefore, I also know some of the more secret things of the church. And these things will not be known to outsiders, because it is impossible to publicize them to the outside world.
The European continent is full of churches, and people's donations for sins have not all flowed into the Vatican after the worst days.
Even after a few hands and a few layers were scraped off, it was a very huge number after it flowed into the Vatican.
Not to mention how much wealth has been gained for the church by using the name of 'shrine maidens' to raid homes and frame and plunder wealth.
The sale of 'indulgences' alone has made the church rich from top to bottom.
So, how can a church run out of money?
Even if there is no money, the bishops of the church cannot be without money.
Jenny knew all too well about the faces of these people in the church.
It is precisely because she knows it very well that she is so disdainful and despised.
The war has been going on to such a point that the bishops of the church are still clinging to the money like iron roosters, and if they had let go of their hands a little, the war situation would have been like this a long time ago.
However, this is beneficial to the Portuguese and French coalitions, isn't it?
I don't know what is in the minds of these bishops.
It's hard to get rid of the way to harm people. Is it just a piece of?
Jenny shook her head slightly, she was amused by the way these Bishop Iron Roosters were doing.
However, looking back and thinking about it, they value the money and interests in their hands so much. Not giving the allied forces of the Church vassal states at all would be of great help to the Empire's plans in Europe.
After all, if these bishops were really so selfless, the empire would have a headache.
You must know that the wealth in the hands of these people is not a small amount.
If they really take it out, the empire will also have to come up with corresponding economic aid and materials. Only then can Portugal and France support it.
Of course, how could the church be without money? This is all revealed to outsiders to fool the poor believers. Jenny retracted her thoughts, her gaze slowly swept over the faces of the subordinates in the room, and said to them at the same time.
"Everyone used to live in this land, don't you know the face of the church?"
Outwardly they proclaimed to be servants of the Lord, and proclaimed the glory and majesty of the Lord to the masses, as if they had no desire for worldly riches and power. But in fact. These people are just using the Lord as an excuse to satisfy their plundering of power and wealth. These guys are very greedy in their bones, and they are not at all like they appear. ”
In the face of Jenny's words, all her subordinates in the room were silent.
Yes. Jenny's subordinates, although they are also fanatical believers. But before they went to the Americas to come into contact with the Christians, they were all people living on the European continent.
Therefore, how can it be strange to the church.
It's like Jenny said. That's really the case with those people in the church.
Death requires money, and if you don't have money, you won't even sell indulgences.
Even more excessively, there are some area country priests who need him to preside over Mass or confession. It would take a lot of money to do that.
Otherwise, people won't care about you at all.
This style is very different from what they claim to the outside world.
What God loves the world, the Lord is the merciful Father of everyone, in fact, this is bullshit.
Is it possible that I don't love you if I don't give money?
If a god is to be measured by the wealth of his followers in terms of his benevolence, is such a god still a true god?
Coupled with some outrageous behavior of those priests and clergy, in fact, many people are not very interested in the church.
It's just that the church has brainwashed the people on the European continent for so long, and there are still a lot of brainless fans under its command.
And, in addition, there are some entanglements of interests, as well as the protection of those stakeholders who are implicated in the church. So if you show even the slightest dissatisfaction with the church, then your end is coming.
Most of Jenny's subordinates have been persecuted by the church themselves or their families.
It can be said that they are all people who have a deep hatred for the church.
So, I don't have a cold interest in teaching them at all.
This is also why when these people arrive in the Americas and come into contact with the Sect, they will immediately be attracted by the Sect and become fanatical believers.
Of course, some of the special means shown by the interception of teachings cannot be said to be without merit.
You must know that the church cannot get the methods used to intercept the religion.
In this contrast, it is not surprising that the church was defeated in the Americas.
I have to say that the so-called miracle 'movie' made by Zhao Hongyu and Zhang Tie is really indispensable.
And the church's propaganda to the outside world, except for the rhetoric of the so-called miracles and the false miracles that come up every once in a while, is not comparable to the interception of the church at all.
In particular, Jenny, as a former member of the church, is very aware of some things about the church's fraud.
Even, there are some things that have nothing to do with the church, but the church wants it to be related to itself, and then publicize it as a miracle.
Jenny really despised this.
"Chief, if you say that, I think it's really possible." , A group of subordinates who had been silent for a long time, someone spoke at this time.
The silence just now was not silent, but each was contemplating.
After some thought. Of course, they could understand what Jenny was referring to.
"The bishops are obviously not going to use their personal wealth, and the wealth of the church has long been squandered by them. Now that the church claims that it has no money, it may be an excuse for them to make money again. ”
This man's words caused everyone to nod their heads.
It's not like that, the church usually wants to make money, and it's basically such a routine.
"We don't care if they make money or not, but I think we can take advantage of this and make some trouble for the church, right?"
Jenny raised her right hand, stretched out her white slender fingers and gently played with the ends of her golden hair, and said to her subordinates with a smirk.
Although Jenny is not very old. But she always has some great ideas, and she is very strong. So these subordinates who are older than her are very convinced of her.
Now that Jenny said this, everyone knew that the leader had thought of a good way to pit the church.
So, the big guys fell silent and waited for Jenny to continue.
Jenny's group and the church have hatred in one way or another.
So, say it responsibly. The big guys are willing to see trouble in the church.
Besides, they followed Jenny to the Vatican this time, didn't they just make trouble for the church?
It's been a few days now, and the big guys can't stand it anymore.
If it weren't for Jenny, the town would have been able to hold everyone. The Vatican has long been disturbed by these people.
After all, in Jenny's group, several subordinates were ruined by the church, and it was very tragic to die.
These people's attitudes toward the church are very radical.
That is, Jenny was able to hold them down.
Otherwise...... Hum.
But. Jenny couldn't keep them suppressed and didn't let them vent.
Otherwise, it won't do any good. On the contrary, it will make your own group a lot of trouble.
Because those radicals have suffered from the church, their brains are a little difficult to use. So no one knows what crazy things they're going to do.
If it weren't for the fact that they were strong in force and very devout to the sect, they were all fanatical believers. Jenny didn't want to use these people either.
But in Europe, no one knows what kind of danger Lu Dao will encounter.
These so-called guys who have a bit of a problem with their brains and are still very aggressive, their powerful force has a place to use.
"Indulgences? Donation to confession? Anyway, the church is going to make money, and that's what they do, I can figure it out with my little toes. Jenny said slowly as she looked at her subordinates. But I don't want the church to loot the wealth of the people so easily, and even let us reveal their true colors little by little. This is also for the sake of interception! ”
"Chief, what are you going to do?"
Some anxious subordinates opened their mouths to ask questions after Jenny's voice fell.
In response to this subordinate's questioning, Jenny did not show any dissatisfaction, but smiled slightly. She leaned forward and said to everyone with a smile: "I think there must be many people who are persecuted by the church, and they just dare not speak out against the church. So I'm hoping to find out them all......"
"Chief, what if these people don't dare to come forward? Isn't it possible that we need to force them to stand up? Jenny's idea is not very clever, because it may not be possible.
Hehe.
Jenny smiled and said, "I didn't expect them to succeed, so I don't need them to stand up against the church, that's not reality, right." ”
Jenny's words revealed that she clearly meant something else.
"Let them tell their neighbors what happened to them. Actually, the church is just making money, and I think it will cause some small problems for the church. Of course, these people may be hunted down by the church, so you can give them enough benefits. ”
"At the same time, send someone to the side of the alliance of the vassal states and spread a rumor to me that the top of the church has money in their hands but they don't want to take it out, they just want to loot the wealth of the people, and the people are already dissatisfied......"
