Chapter 191: The Prague Religious Pact

"These priests have simply strayed from pure Christianity, violated the Christian norms, turned away from virtues, and the seven deadly sins of greed, pride, envy, laziness, gluttony, anger and even lust are vividly manifested in them, the Lord has asked them to preach the gospel, but they only look out for their own interests, like pigs fighting for food, not only their heads and mouths, but also their two front hooves are stretched into the trough, their existence is completely worthless, if they hold such a position in the church, So why shouldn't they devote their entire lives to the Lord's cause? ”

Laszlo looked at the audience, waving his arms constantly,

Do we have to endure it? We should endure God, not God's servants, and the Holy See has done unbelievable things in this name, and the amount of money they obtain every year is unimaginable for secular rulers and businessmen in a lifetime, and the secular rulers need money to build bridges and roads, repair public facilities, and protect the interests of the people, but the money we need is coveted by the Holy See, which is completely intolerable. ”

"The representative of the Roman Empire is not anything but a great ideal, the other secular rulers who used the money of the people for pleasure, and the rulers of the Roman Empire who used the money of the people to create glory, and it is for this reason that we are extremely indignant at the injustice of the Holy See, and today, in the face of Bohemia, I, the Caesar of the Roman Empire, Lasllò von Habsburg, officially proclaim the Agreement of Religion and call on all those who wish to join the Roman Empire, Rulers against the wrongdoing of the Holy See join the war! ”

Opening the file in his hand was something he had been busy with for several days, and as early as his time in Constantinople, he sought the advice of religious scholars extensively, and together with the guidance of Constantine, he came up with such a document.

"Out of the desire to discern the truth and to know the will of God, His Excellency Dionas, Caesaras Delaus I von Habsburg and Patriarch of Jerusalem of the Roman Empire, intends to bind and provoke a debate in Christendom on the following articles which are the rules of conduct of the Church under the Roman Empire, and to give written opinions to those who cannot participate in the oral debate, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and His Majesty our Emperor Constantine, Amen!"

"The relevant twenty-three articles, which are listed as follows: first, God has entrusted power to His Majesty the Emperor of the Universal Empire, who is the universal monarch, in order to rule and pacify the people, and there is no doubt that God Christ is above His Majesty the Emperor, and that before the Lord comes to earth, everything in the secular world will be ruled by His Majesty the Emperor..."

"Second, the Church is appointed by a universal monarch to hold a clergy in all places, and only the universal monarch can communicate with God and be answered, and the function of the Church is to make the people accept the teachings of God Christ, and indulgences are completely unfounded and should be abolished..."

"Thirdly, the Church has no other duty than to guide people to good and to the poor, and the money it receives should be sufficient to fulfill its own duties..."

"Fourthly, the officials and vassals assigned to the place by the ecumenical monarch clearly represent the authority of the ecumenical monarch, and therefore the local church should obey the instructions of the officials or vassals without the direct order of the ecumenical monarch..."

"Fifth, the church has no fixed fiefs, so the lands of the church cannot be counted as fiefs, and therefore the church cannot have vassals..."

"Sixth, we should easily see that the universal empire of the universal monarch is not composed of a single nation, because the empire is vast and the living habits of the people will be different, so the churches in various places can adjust the sacraments according to the actual needs of their own local people, without losing the etiquette and solemnity, but only after the examination of their subordinate ecclesiastical bodies..."

"Seventh, the Order, by virtue of its military character, may be regarded as a whole as a vassal of the universal monarch, enjoying the powers and obedience necessary obligations conferred upon it by the Empire..."

The twenty-three guidelines comprehensively define the role of the church and clarify the role of the church, and Laszlo wisely chose to abolish the indulgence, which is criticized by the world, and he made good use of the legal system of the Roman Empire to justify himself.

Both the Eastern and Western churches recognize one thing, that is, there is only one universal empire in the world, and when the Roman Empire falls, it is the end of the world, which is why the Holy See is doing its best to pass on the legal system of the Roman Empire.

If the above articles can only be said to be a clarification of the role of the church, the next few articles are a full-scale fire on the Holy See, and when it comes to theological issues, Laszlo wisely gave up his position to Dionas, a theologian.

"I have a few questions that need to be asked to the Holy See, before my arguments begin,"

"Since the Pope saved countless souls in purgatory for the measful sum of money for the construction of St. Peter's Church, why didn't he release them all for the sake of love and the desperate need of the souls in purgatory? The reasons for the former are insignificant, and the latter is bright. ”

"The Pope is the richest of the richest of today, and he has more money than the richest man of old, Chrissa, so why should he spend the money of the poor believers on the construction of St. Peter's Church out of his own pocket?"

"What other forgiveness and grace can those who have received full forgiveness and blessing through sincere repentance receive from the Pope?"

"If the Pope sells indulgences to save souls, not money, why did he annul the pardons and forgiveness that he had promised, with equal effect?"

...

"To use reason to dispel the doubts of the faithful rather than violence, otherwise it will only make the Holy See and the Pope a laughing stock, and make the majority of Christians grieved, and what the Holy See has done is not only not conducive to dispelling doubts, but has deepened the doubts in people's hearts, and it is obviously crazy to think that the Pope's indulgence is so effective that the sin of insulting the Virgin can be forgiven, and we believe that even the smallest crimes cannot be forgiven by indulgences, which insult not only the Pope, but also the will of St. Peter, This is something that an upright, orthodox Christian Christian cannot endure. ”

Dionas's words silenced the audience even more, and then the discussion began to sound.

There are many professors from the Faculty of Theology of the University of Prague in the crowd, and as an academy that has produced talents like Jan Hus, the professors of the Faculty of Theology of the University of Prague are naturally not far behind.

As a Bohemian, whoever licks his face and comes up and says that the indulgence is good, the indulgence is wonderful, it will really be spurned, how much indignation Jan Hus caused when he was burned to death, the first time he threw out the incident outside the window as the starting point of the Hussite War, it was because the Holy See burned Jan Hus and dissolved the city council dominated by Hussite believers, the Hussite War was fought for so long, and the people in Bohemia and the rest of the German-Germanic regions almost formed a blood feud, until now, The situation in Bohemia is still very serious, and this is not all because of the 'good deeds' done by the Holy See back then.

Now, if someone defends the Holy See in Bohemia, even if he is not beaten, it is estimated that he will attract a lot of white eyes, which is obvious.

The sound sounded and subsided, Laszlo was very relieved to see this scene, the Holy See has done a good job, it has laid such a stable base for him, to be honest, it is impossible for other places to hate the Holy See like this place in Bohemia, Bohemia is rich in all kinds of ores, and it is necessary to have money, people, and food, what else to say, recruit troops and horses.

"The Fifty-six Theses concerning the Accord of Religion and the Patriarch of Dionas, which will be pasted in front of the Cathedral of Prague, which were originally to be enshrined in the Cathedral of Prague, and from this day onwards, the Church of Bohemia will be officially freed from the injustice of the Holy See and will be under the leadership of His Majesty Constantine XI de la Gácés Valleolog, the universal monarch of the Universal Empire, and under the authority of His Majesty, I will have full authority over the affairs of the Church of Bohemia, and the reform of the Church of Bohemia will be carried out by His Excellency Dionas, Patriarch of Jerusalem, the indulgence will be officially abolished, as will the injustices imposed by the Holy See on Bohemia,"

Lass Laura said in a voice that when the affairs of the church were settled, it was time to go to war with Frederick III.

"I call upon the independent lords and vassals of all parts of the universal empire to accept and deploy the Religious Pact as soon as possible, and all those who believe in Christ God should regard the injustice as the greatest violation of themselves, and therefore unremittingly oppose and revise these so-called clergy who have nothing to do and who have deviated from the virtues of Christ,"

Laszlo looked at the group of people who were tied up, among which Jifsse's trembling body was very conspicuous, and Laszlo smiled contemptuously,

"Deprive them of all their possessions and the priesthood, expel them from Bohemia, and let their souls be redeemed in penance."

There is no choice to kill them, because in this era, no money is worse than death, Laszlo just wants them to know what kind of life the people at the bottom live, and letting them spend the rest of their lives in regret is obviously more relieved and relieved than killing them.

The Prague Religious Agreement is not destined to be accepted so easily, because accepting the Prague Religious Agreement means accepting the leadership of the universal empire, although theoretically it is known that the world is the territory of the universal empire, but no one likes to have more than one person in their head, but its role is definitely there, and it is great!

Some people died, but not completely......
