Chapter 159: Miscellaneous Matters

The Inquisition was definitely the last institution that Rossi wanted to see, but one that he had to compromise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn another world, when the power of the Church of Light was at its peak, the Inquisition still stinked. Not only did people outside the church dislike the institution, but even the apostles within the church were very shy about their comrades who joined it.

Some say that the Inquisition is the shadow killer of the Church, dealing with those who oppose the Church. They will make up a whole bunch of all sorts of charges and hunt down opponents on a large scale. It is also said that the Inquisition is the dirtiest place in the world, and that every knight of the Inquisition is full of blood, and they devour people alive, and they will catch and eat them at the slightest glance.

This is a prejudiced view, and the greatest purpose of the existence of the Inquisition is purification. Purify the inside of the church, purify the outside of the church. Many people think that these Knights of Judgment are cruel and bloody, but in fact they are even more brutal inside.

Those infidels, who are caught, are often just burned to death, but they are suspected of betraying the apostles who have been defeated in the struggle, and once they are caught, they will never stop if they are not tortured to death. They have God's will at the heart of their course of action, and the director of the Inquisition has the power to do what he calls "interpretation" in his own way. As long as they need to, they can twist and distort some scriptures, but others have no way.

Of course, Rossi would not allow the Inquisition of this world to swell so unlimitedly, he needed to put the reins on this institution, and the tripartite power was undoubtedly the most effective way.

Uriel was the director of the Inquisition, mainly responsible for the general direction of affairs, as well as being the main combatant of the Inquisition, reporting directly to him. Two cardinals were also selected, one at the head of the Sea of Divine Grace, to prosecute those who had been convicted of sin, but whose sin did not lead to death. The other was the head of the Shenwei Prison, and was responsible for interrogation and punishment.

The three are equal in rank, and both have the power to report directly to Rossi, while also having to supervise each other. Uriel was arrested, and after being sent to the Shenwei Prison, there was no matter for him. Then the head of the Kamui Prison is responsible for interrogating and enforcing the crimes and problems. If there is a sin, then act according to the rules and regulations of the church, and if there is no sin, let it go. The next thing is the matter of the sea of divine grace, if he finds that there is an unjust, false and wrongful case, he has the right to correct it and report it to the top.

In this way, the Inquisition became a monopoly [Divine Beast] institution to the greatest extent, allowing Uriel to cover the sky with one hand. It's not that I'm afraid that he will do anything harmful to Rossi, it's just that once the power of any department is too great and the [Divine Beast] stands alone, it will be linked to corruption. History has confirmed this more than once, and Rossi may not have been able to change anything in the last world, but in this world, he still hopes that the church can continue to develop in a good way, and not become the one who is opposed to each other.

In addition to this, Rossi has made a series of other appointments, and good internal competitiveness is necessary for the church to remain vibrant. Inertia is often due to a lack of competitiveness, like those trust oligarchs who directly monopolize an industry and eventually become rigid and rigid.

At present, the Holy Light Church has more than 500,000 believers, and more than 100,000 people have successfully awakened the Holy Power, which is a huge wealth, as long as it is used well, it will inevitably become one of the most powerful organizations in the world.

After the conference, it is the time for a small meeting, and there are always some people who cannot say something in public.

O'Neill, one of the top ten benevolents, is the first.

This guy nicknamed the good old man with a white beard does look like his nickname, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and his snow-white hair and beard make people unconsciously pay a little respect. When smiling, he is very kind, and he is as kind as Uncle Wang, who is close to the bottom of his heart.

"Your Majesty!", he saluted, Rosie asked him to sit aside, O'Neill shook his arms so that his hands, which were already bearing age spots, were shaken out of his sleeves, and he rubbed his hands back and forth, as if something unspeakable. After a long time, under Rossi's gaze, he smiled and said, "I don't know the meaning of life until I am old in this life, and this is the gospel that you and God have given me." I'm too old to know how long I'll live, and people say I'll live a hundred years, but I know very well that maybe it won't be long before I can even handle some of the academic affairs. ”

"At my age, I can see everything, and I hope that when I die, I can donate all my family property to the church. It includes the land and the deeds, and all the wealth. ”

O'Neill is a well-known wealthy merchant in Sunset City, and one of the first believers to respond to Rossi's mission, whether it is a fortune or a political show, Rosie gives them the status and power they deserve. O'Neill also said very clearly, there is nothing to hide, although he has awakened the holy power, but his age is too old, and the holy power in his body is not enough to support him to live longer, three or five years or five or six years, this is the limit.

Those who work until they die are often not really old and die, but die of sudden illness, and in O'Neill's current situation, he may not be able to deal with the complicated and huge chores within the church in a year or two.

Rosie touched her chin, "Dear O'Neill, say your request. ”

Willing, willing!

If you want to get something, you must first give up the equal things, there is no love for no reason in this world, there is no hate for no reason, everything is equal. If you want to get something in someone's pocket, you have to give it first. There is great wisdom between giving, and those who can't give up will find it difficult to get more.

O'Neill laughed lightly, and he understood that His Majesty the Pope looked young, but he was definitely not a simple person as he looked. He nodded with a little satisfaction, "My house is full of children and grandchildren, some of whom I love and some of whom I hate. I wanted to be the same, but I couldn't, and I repented and prayed for it. I want the people I love to get better and better, and I want the people I hate to forgive me for my foolishness. ”

"My plea is for you to baptize them and bring them into the arms of God the Father. My grandchildren are a little stubborn, and I just hope that the church will shelter them from disaster. There are also some grandchildren who have grown up, and I hope they will get a chance. ”

O'Neill said it seems very plain, but in fact, this old man is not a mortal horn, and his meaning is very clear, I have donated a huge amount of wealth, and those children and grandchildren who cannot be used will be able to give them a bite to eat after I die, so that they will not starve to death or be persecuted. Those children and grandchildren who can be used, even if they cannot inherit the position of cardinal, should be given the opportunity and possibility to climb up, so that they will have the opportunity to hold the cardinal's scepter in their lifetime.

Rosie pondered for a moment and nodded.

In the future, there will inevitably be many more cardinals than there are now, and the joining of various forces and the compromise of factions will give birth to a large number of cardinals who should not be cardinals. In fact, religion is also a variant of the political system, and it is all a ghost to rely on faith or something.

Rosie stretched out his left hand, and O'Neill kissed his ring and slowly retreated, his face flushed, not at all like a man of seventy or eighty.

The cardinals who came in immediately after him had their own political demands, and Rossi agreed to some of them.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Mira entered the door with a wry smile.
