The Patriarch of Lisbon said with a gloomy face: "In the upper class society of the Holy Radiance City, there has always been a rumor that after the Holy Religion unifies the Kingdom of St. Teresa and establishes the Kingdom of God on Earth, the title system will be abolished, and the priesthood within the Holy Religion will be replaced. As the second prince became more and more powerful, the possibility of becoming the prince became higher and higher, and this rumor was rampant, and according to the intelligence of previous spying on it, it seems that quite a few nobles believed this statement. ”

"Cutting off people's money is like killing their parents, not to mention that according to this statement, the Holy Religion will even dig up their foothold and destroy it completely. This is not only to kill their parents, but even to dig up their ancestral graves, no wonder some nobles will unite to secretly oppose the Holy Religion. ”

Several bishops present looked at each other, "This plan is an internal secret of the Holy Church, and it was only discussed by a few of us and His Majesty the Pope, and there was not even any written writing, how could these nobles know?"

"Even if I already knew that there was a spy within the Holy Sect, I don't think this spy would have access to such a secret. ”

The bishops looked at each other twice, but looked away as if they had tacitly agreed, in fact, there was another possibility that they did not speak. But with their power and position, it is hard to believe that there are people among them who will betray the Holy Religion.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be leaked out by traitors. The Patriarch of Lisbon then continued, "and there are wise men among the nobility, and it is not difficult to deduce such a possibility. ”

"If the Holy Sect really establishes the Kingdom of God on Earth, then the Violet Family will become a puppet, and the ruler of this country will become our Holy Religion. At that time, will these arrogant and lascivious nobles still be allowed to do their bidding?"

"There is a saying: one mountain does not allow two tigers. At that time, the Holy Religion will inevitably seize the power to govern the country from the hands of the nobles, and at that time, the title system that preaches noble blood and the rule of the nobility will undoubtedly become an obstacle to the Holy Religion to seize power, and the abolition of the title system will become an imperative thing. ", the Patriarch of Lisbon analyzed.

"There are still some wise people among the aristocracy, and they probably saw this as well. That's why they are desperately trying their best to stop the Holy Sect's plan for the kingdom of God on earth, and when the Holy Sect is powerful, it is only natural that they will form an alliance to fight against us. ”

The Patriarch of Lisbon's analysis was so penetrating that the other bishops nodded their heads one after another. "It's just that this kind of rumor has spread widely, and there must be someone behind the scenes behind it, otherwise this rumor would not have spread so quickly and widely. Another bishop asked.

"I don't know if there are such rumors among the nobles. "Even the rich seem to be spreading rumors that the Holy Church, after establishing the kingdom of God on earth, will confiscate all the property of the merchants and distribute all this wealth to the common people and the poor. There are even rumors that in the future, the Holy Cult will implement a rationing system of goods, and will not allow the existence of merchants. ”

"Therefore, not only the nobles, but also many merchants in this Holy Radiance City are now very hostile to the Holy Sect. It can be seen from the donations received by the church this time that in the past few months, the financial income received by the Holy Church has dropped a lot. ”

"Hmph, this is a bloody spurt, malicious slander, we never thought of confiscating all the merchants' property. The bishop snorted coldly and said with disdain.

"Indeed, even if the Second Prince successfully ascends the throne, the Holy Sect still has a long way to go before it completes its goal of the earthly kingdom of God, and the struggle with the nobles during this period is inevitable, and we cannot guarantee that the Second Prince will always obey the Holy Sect. His current docile appearance is just a disguise, the Grievous family is a bunch of immature white-eyed wolves, and I don't believe he will be obedient when he is in danger of becoming a puppet. ”

"Yes, so the merchants are not only not our enemies, but they should also be the targets of our alliances and partners, and directly confiscating their property is tantamount to killing intent to take eggs, how is this possible!", another bishop said.

The other bishops did not disagree, and it is clear that the Privy Councillors had agreed on this point.

"Flies don't bite seamless eggs, such a rumor can spread so widely among shrewd businessmen, and make so many businessmen believe, because there is a problem within our Holy Sect. ", the Patriarch of Lisbon shook his head and said solemnly.

"Oh? The other bishops were surprised, how could they not know beforehand?

"I don't know if you've heard of it lately, that among the recent influx of poor people in the Sanctuary, there seems to be a message of equality for all?", asked the Patriarch of Lisbon.

I have heard of it, but this idea is associated with the commandment of God to love the world, and the more widely it spreads, the better it is for the spread of our faith. Therefore, I thought it would be beneficial to the Holy Religion, so I was optimistic that it would come to fruition, and nothing was done. Why, is there a problem?", one bishop asked.

"It is precisely because of the idea of equality that the rich businessmen think that we will confiscate property and implement a system of equal distribution. ”

And the most fundamental reason is because this idea was first propagated by the clergy within our Holy Church! And many ascetics in the Holy Sect have contributed to the flames and vigorously propagated this idea among the common people, and now it is like a spark burning the prairie that many people have secretly formed an association!"

The Patriarch of Lisbon straightened up and said in a solemn tone: "I am here just to ask you: Where is it written in the commandments, in the holy scriptures, that all men are equal?"

"If all men are equal, then where will we be put and where will we be present? What is the point of our Privy Council? His Majesty the Pope is the shepherd of the gods on earth, the messenger of the oracles, the substitutes, if it is true that all men are equal, then is not everyone a bishop, everyone is a pope?"

"Does this count as tampering with the holy commandments, tampering with the holy scriptures?"

"More critically. The Patriarch of Lisbon looked around at the bishops, "Is this a split in the Holy Church, or even a new one, the birth of a sect?"

"Don't forget, you don't forget, in the dark age when human life was disregarded and human rights were humble, the Holy Religion was developed precisely by virtue of God's love for the world!"

"And what about equality for all?", asked the Patriarch of Lisbon meaningfully.
