Chapter 188: Bohemia Forbidden Religion
The Pope's order was conveyed through the envoy to Regensburg, causing an uproar in Regensburg, and many people were shocked by the audacity of Lasdilaus I and the thunderous tactics of the Pope, because such a severe punishment had never been seen in history, and at the same time shrank his head, but also strengthened the authority of the Pope.
At the same time as the envoy read the papal edict, the Bohemian envoy to the Regensburg Imperial Council was expelled from Regensburg and quickly rushed to Prague.
Surprisingly, even in such a situation, the Holy See still has many supporters, and began to preach guilt in the churches everywhere, demanding submission to the Holy See and asking for the lifting of the ban on Christianity, such people are not small in the local churches, but so far, not a single big businessman or big nobleman or large landowner has expressed an attitude on this matter, and the situation in Bohemia has become very ambiguous.
The Bohemian forest area is located in the mountains, later known as the Crushin Mountains, the mountains are continuous, but not steep, and the abundant products, rich in ore and kaolin, so many people live here.
This place is the closest to Regensburg in the territory of the Kingdom of Bohemia, and although the envoy entered Bohemia by detouring the Ens River, the news reached here as if it were unstoppable, and the people talked about it.
"The Holy See has sent a document asking us to stop any sacraments and give communions, in order to cooperate with the Holy See and force Las Dilauth I to submit, both of them know about it?"
The gathering of Bishop Plzeň, Bishop Cheb and Bishop Rodozh was clearly premeditated.
"It is impossible for the Holy See to allow such an act to be approved by the people, and although we nominally want to support the actions of the Holy See, if the people do not agree with our approach, our diocese is likely to be canceled because it has no financial resources. At that time, I am afraid that the Holy See will not pay much attention to us. ”
Bishop Rodozh touched his chin and was very uninterested in the Holy See's edict.
The documents issued by the Holy See must have asked the local bishops to cooperate, as in the case of the 'King of the Land' John, but is the local bishop of Bohemia willing to cooperate with the Holy See?
Hard
Bohemia was the pioneer of the Reformation, and the dissatisfaction with the Holy See was not a day or two, and the bishops had to obey reality, and the Holy See would not give them finances, all of which were left to the autonomy of the local church.
It's strange that when people have a leader, people think about how to rebel against the leader, but when the power is really in their hands, they will cower and don't know what to do, and when they need to take responsibility, people make the most prudent choices.
"But if you don't obey the Holy See, you will never want to be promoted to the priesthood, and will you just want to be a mere bishop?"
Bishop Cheb made the opposite opinion, because his diocese was very poor, so he still wanted to be transferred to a better diocese or ordained, but this was provided that he cooperated well with the actions of the Holy See.
This matter has caused them a lot of trouble, but they have no choice, from the moment they receive the papal edict, they have only two choices, but if they choose not to obey, they can not be indifferent in the face of the pressure of the Holy See, then they must find a protective umbrella,
But there was no such thing as a council of the highest clergy in the church system in Bohemia, and the Bohemian council was mainly composed of large nobles and landowners, and dealt with political rather than ecclesiastical affairs, and now they did not know whose direction to turn to.
"Why don't we go to the Archbishop of Prague? What his diocese does, we do. ”
Bishop Pilson had an idea and came up with a clever plan.
Bishop Rodozh fell silent, what is the purpose of such a plan, everyone knows very well in their hearts, Las Dylaus I, but anyone with vision, will not let go of the Archbishop of Prague, the archbishop must have been co-opted by Las Dillaus I, so Bishop Pilsen's proposal is not so much to find the Archbishop of Prague as to find Las Dillaus I as a backer, but to change a reliable statement,
Going directly to Las Dillaus I will definitely be questioned by the Holy See, but after a detour, they have an excuse, in fact, this kind of thing, the first reaction has actually expressed their attitude, they are not very willing to cooperate with the Holy See.
"Bishop Cheb, in this matter, we must advance and retreat together, unity is an excellent quality given to us by the Lord, we have known each other for many years, and we can't make different decisions on big things."
Seeing that Bishop Rodozh acquiesced, Bishop Plzeň looked at Bishop Cheb, the three bishops' dioceses together were the whole of the Bohemian Forest, and they had to advance and retreat together.
"Well, I won't read this papal edict to my parishioners, see what the Archbishop of Prague does, and we'll just follow."
After thinking about it for a long time, there was no way, and Bishop Cheb could only agree, but thinking about it, the Holy See was obviously unpopular in Bohemia, he was also a bohemian, and he was not very willing to leave his hometown, so be it, even if the Holy See criticized or even punished, he was not alone in this responsibility.
Such a general scene constantly appeared between the local church and the bishops in Bohemia, although the people at the bottom had some supporters of the Holy See, and there were not a few opponents, everyone still remembered the Hussite wars, in this case, the local bishops and priests naturally had to obey the will of the people, unexpectedly, the result of everyone's final negotiations was to see the actions of Prague, and people's eyes were focused on Prague, and at this time in the city of Prague, a grand feast was continuing...
"Patriarch Dionas, after the baptism ceremony tomorrow, I still need Your Excellency to stay here, the Holy See may impose sanctions on me in the near future, I need your help."
Laszlo raised his silver glass and shook it, gesturing to Dionas.
"Of course, I have received instructions from His Majesty before I came, and I will stay, but if the matter is related to the specifics, I need you to introduce it to me, after all, I have not been here for a long time."
Dionas didn't squint, the atmosphere of the banquet was very warm, but the wine in front of Dionas didn't move a drop, and he only ate a few bites of food, which made Dionas look out of place with the banquet.
"Your Excellency the Patriarch is not good at drinking?"
Laszlo was keenly aware of this, and asked with concern, as Constantine had done.
"I never drink alcohol, the Lord says to abstain from indulgence, from lies, from improper words and deeds, and drinking will only turn me away from the teachings of the Lord."
Dionas shook his head slightly, his face was serious and solemn, he was not a person who liked to have fun.
"Then I guess Your Excellency doesn't drink juice anymore?"
"As long as it doesn't make me unconscious, I don't think there's anything wrong with juice."
Wondering why Laszllo would say such a thing, Dionas looked at Laszlo with an inquiring gaze, but caused the other to laugh,
"We're just drinking grape juice right now."
Dionas was dumbfounded, well, he didn't expect Laszlo to joke with him, but if you look closely, Laszlo is indeed not very old, and it is normal to be noisy.
"Your Excellency Caesar, tell me about the Holy See, and the local churches, what is the relationship between them and the Holy See? I need to know this information to be able to make a full deployment. ”
Speaking of business, Laszlo also became serious,
"In this case, I will carefully explain to the Patriarch that the relationship between the local Church in Bohemia and the Holy See is very complicated, and the Archbishop of Prague Diet, the highest clergyman of the Holy See in Bohemia, is one of the leaders of the Holy Grails, and what he advocates is to settle the dispute peacefully with the Holy See and to make the Bohemian Church independent of the Holy See in a moderate way."
Dionas did not agree with this in his heart, and it was obvious that such a way could not be taken seriously by the Holy See, because this was what Dionas had done before, and it turned out that only violent means could accomplish this transformation,
"By what means?"
Although he disagreed, Dionas asked anyway.
"It's funny to say, through the way of writing letters to the Holy See, I have read the letters he wrote, the whole is quoting scriptures, emphasizing the importance of freedom and democracy, and asking for independence, and every time he is perfunctory by the Holy See, but he also thinks that it is because the letter he wrote is not touching enough, so a letter was rejected, and he immediately wrote another one, and over the years he has written no less than a hundred, but the answer is always the same."
Laszlo took a sip of wine, and then the corners of Nunu's mouth,
"That's Archbishop of Prague, Tilfsse, and he looks like a gentleman, right?"
Dionas turned his head and saw a well-dressed, kind-eyed, and kind man talking to people in a low voice, and everyone around him was smiling, at least the first impression did not look very bad.
"Such people also have supporters?"
Dionas was curious, this approach seemed somewhat ridiculous to him.
"Of course, and there are not a few supporters, the high-ranking clergy arranged by the Holy See in Bohemia are all supporters of his ideas, these people are really high-class, all of them are very wealthy, and they are also connected with the local big landowners, and they are often guests at the banquets of the big nobles and big landowners, if you get their support, it will be a lot of help."
Some people died, but not completely......
