Chapter 59: The Pope
Enthusiasm is a terrible emotion.
Any difficulty becomes weak in the face of passion.
Enthusiasm leads to an even more terrible emotion, which is called fanaticism.
Not only in this world, but also in the world called Earth where Rossi once lived.
A magnificent church cannot be built in a day, but under the influence of the frenzied atmosphere, the pace of construction of the church is constantly moving forward at an astonishing rate.
In between, another major event happened in Wangri City.
Those in the city who have not converted to the Church of Light feel more and more that this city is full of strangeness, and they can no longer put the current city together with the former Lookout City. At this time, it is more appropriate to say that it is the City of Holy Light. Some of them had already packed up and were ready to leave the city, their native land, and move to other places.
For the actions of these people, the consul could only smile bitterly. He wanted to keep them, but he couldn't find a suitable excuse. Because during this time, some special circumstances have happened. Some people with very bad reviews have died inexplicably. Some of them are obvious to be moved, and some of them are confused. The theory of evil retribution is particularly popular, and many people have become faithful believers in the theory of evil retribution.
In fact, these people can't be blamed for this, when there is injustice and injustice in this society, the disadvantaged groups hope that someone can stand up and uphold justice, and find justice and fairness in this world for them and for more weak people.
Some of those who left did bad things, and some feared that this fanatical religious atmosphere would make the Church of Light another "evil", and they did not dare to imagine themselves being kidnapped to this carriage, or having to face it. Leaving can only be the last choice, to leave here far away, far away from the Holy Light Church.
Rosie had heard about these people's departures, but he couldn't control it. He planted a seed, and at this point the seed sprouted and bore fruit, and he could only watch.
This is also something that any religion needs to face when it is created - some believers with a deep sense of substitution become dangerous.
All he can do is to guide, to lead this part of the fanatical believers to a right path, not to the abyss.
The cathedral is becoming more and more complete day by day, after more than 30 days, the foundation construction has finally been completed, a cathedral with a height of 178 meters and a width of 60 or 70 meters is across the most prosperous part of Wangri City. The interior and exterior were renovated, and the devotees invited famous painters from nearby cities to paint on the crystals that were cut into thin slices, which would become the glass of the church.
This is also Rossi's reference to the previous world's church, from the sun rises, the first rays of sunlight will shine through the painted crystals, projecting dreamy colors onto the interior of the church, making the interior of the church a dream world.
Everyone put in 12 points of enthusiasm and put their best into building this spiritual home.
The long winter has finally passed, and the spring has been revived, and the magnificent and sacred church has been completed.
Inside the cathedral, Rossi wore the same robes he had worn in his previous life, graceful and luxurious, wearing a crown made of gold and encrusted with various gemstones. Holding the golden scepter in his hand and stepping on the red monster fluffy blanket, he ascended to the throne at the highest point of the cathedral step by step.
His face was calm and unfazed, looking at the dense crowd of believers inside and outside the church, he said: "I patrol the earth on behalf of God the Father, walk in the world, sow seeds of light, and sow the gospel of happiness. I came here to fulfill the office of Pope with the dignity of all religions and the emperor of all vehicles. Self-inferior, each performing his own duties, abiding by the canons.
We do good works, accumulate good deeds, enjoy joy, overcome afflictions, and destroy evil fruits.
May the light of the Father shine upon you forever, may the eyes of the Father always be upon you, may the mercy of the Father always protect you, and may the thunder of the Father always warn you.
May God Father be with you!"
The dense crowd lowered their heads and sang praises in unison.
Cologne, one of the top ten of the ten virtues, was the first to walk up the steps, he was wearing a white robe with gold trim tattooed on the edge of the robe, and there were some mysterious runes. He followed one step at a time, resolutely walked up the second step, put his hands on Rossi's left hand, kissed an obscure halo on his left index finger, and lowered his head.
Rosie withdrew his left hand and gently stroked the top of his head, "Do good things and avoid ugly things, I have given it to you on behalf of God the Father, may you enjoy eternal peace." At this point, he paused and looked around, "Today, I pardon you as cardinal of the Church of the Light and spread the glory of God the Father, can you do it?"
Coren was so excited that he couldn't help himself, his eyes were red, and he paused again and again, "I am willing to spend my life to spread the glory of the Father, and I will definitely fill the world with the glory of the Father!"
He spoke, and stood on the left side of the second staircase.
Then the second person took the stage, kissed the halo on Rossi's left hand, and then swore that he would dedicate everything he had to the Church of Light.
It took a morning and on every step stood the pardoned believer, no, it should be called the apostles, because from this day on, Rossi will teach them to pray, to teach them to use the power of the Light, so that they may have more power, and let the majesty and mercy of God the Father fill every corner of this world.
The only pity is that Fred didn't have time to make it, and he still made a final effort with the Lerians.
It's a pity, but Rosie isn't the kind of person who delays big things for the sake of a certain person.
Then came the baptism.
Baptism is a sacred ritual, and it is only through baptism that believers can feel that they are further in their relationship with God the Father. With so many people baptizing together, if they come one by one, I am afraid that it will not be possible to complete it for a few days or even longer, so Rosie took a trick and baptized many people together at one time.
There is a statue of God the Father in the church, and there is a pool under the statue, and the water in the pool comes from a spring in the ground, and there will be a sweet spring water gushing up, and after turning around in the pool under the statue, it will flow with the aqueduct on the ground to the square outside the church. Day and night, this pool is praised by believers under the idol of the god and baptized by the power of God the Father, and becomes holy water. Rosie spent a lot of money to perpetuate two magic spells in the pool, the first is the blessing technique, which can bring good luck to people and reduce bad luck. The second is healing, in which the power of healing is given when the spring water gushes into the pool.
This holy water is definitely not as effective as the divine magic directly cast on oneself, but it also has a certain effect.
This large-scale baptism was to sprinkle these believers with these holy waters.
As Rossi recited the prayer in his mouth, the light in his hand exploded, and each ray of light was attached to a stream of holy water, sprinkled on the crowd.
