"What do you mean by propaganda?" Theodora was clearly still on guard.

"It's literal." Guo Kang said: "A good image can attract more people and reduce the resistance of the other party. Creating an image of holiness and nobility is good for our propaganda. All cultures eat this set. ”

"Then why are you looking for her?" Theodora pointed to little Jeanne next to him and asked.

"She has a lot to do with it." Guo Kang continued to explain honestly: "She has close ties with the East and the West, and she has a wealth of professional knowledge, so of course she is looking for her." ”

Jeanne Jr. just smiled, still with a look of watching the play, which made Theodora even more unhappy.

"Are you sure she can do it? With her bad character......"

"Why does she have a bad personality, sister, don't talk about people casually." Tuohuan couldn't stand it anymore: "From beginning to end, this is attacking others." Can't say that. ”

Theodora was deflated and could only continue to sulk.

"Obviously, I know a lot about theology and doctrine." She complained, "Why don't you ask me." ”

"Hey, this wasn't meant to be doctrinal. Doctrine is only a means, and the real end lies in our diplomatic attempts. Tuhuan said bluntly: "According to Brother Guo Kang's words, the church needs an 'image spokesperson'. Her connections and image are better than me and Master Wang. ”

"You're sure it's for our diplomacy, not for herself." Theodora's words were also sharp: "Isn't it tailored for her to praise her?" ”

As she spoke, she began to stare at Guo Kang again, seemingly believing that he had bad intentions and deliberately made some deal with this "holy woman".

"Of course not. If you really want to tailor-made, what kind of Rausch saint should be. Tuohuan shook his head again and again.

"We worship God in all denominations, and the room for women to rise is too small. At most, they can only be nuns, and all formal priesthoods, whether in our Orthodox Church or in Roman Catholicism, are not granted to women. ”

"I also took a special look, the so-called saint is actually a folk title. Because according to the rules, one cannot be canonized while he is alive. He picked up a booklet that introduced the basic doctrines: "You see, no matter how much you understand the scriptures, even if you really create miracles, you can't get divine products. Isn't that embarrassing? ”

"Actually, I don't even understand why worship is so popular among women. Don't they care? He put the booklet back on the table and said with emotion: "If our soldiers only have this kind of room for promotion, then they will have to mutiny tomorrow......

"People have knives in their hands, how can this compare." Guo Kang was almost numb to his forcible comparison, and after complaining, he didn't continue to entangle.

"You see, this is really just a false name for little Jeanne. Does the county lord care about this name? It's not just to help us. He turned to Theodora and said, "It's not us who praising her, it's asking her to help us." ”

"yes. If you really want to have a real place in religion, you don't need to go down this path. Tuhuan sat back in his chair: "I heard from the Mamluks that there are female Fakih (Shariah experts) and Mufti (Shariah judges) on the Egyptian side. In the Sufi order on the Syrian side, there are women who are chiefs and sheikhs. If you really want to mix up a teaching position, you might as well vote for the Heavenly Sect. ”

"That's right. Another advantage of the Heavenly Sect is that it is very flexible. Jeanne laughed, "They don't have the Patriarch of Constantinople, and they don't have the Bishop of Rome—or they were, but they had no authority for a long time. ”

"The great split in the Tianfang Sect came very early, and the scope and subsequent impact were much more serious than the sect split on our side." Guo Kang explained to her: "From the very beginning, there has been a constant bloody civil strife. ”

"Just six months after the Prophet's death, his daughter Fatima also died. Sunnis believe it is because of excessive grief. But Shiites say that it was the first caliph Abu Bakr and the second caliph 'Umar who took advantage of the absence of her husband Ali to beat Fatima who was pregnant overnight, causing her miscarriage and death. ”

Anyway, it became a topic of contention between the two of them for hundreds of years. It is up to one's own judgment to believe which one to believe. Guo Kang spread his hands: "But there is no doubt about the civil strife after that." Several caliphs killed each other, and their methods were rougher than those of Sima. ”

"How much sacredness can be maintained by staging 'Heavenly Father Killing Heavenly Brother' every day, I think we all know very well the history of Seris...... As a result, there are far more sects than we have here. ”

"When the Abbasids were still strong, they were able to use secular force to forcibly maintain a religious authority and guarantee the status of the caliphate. When the Abbasids declined, the Turkic warlords did not take the caliphate seriously, and this authority disappeared. These sects are completely unattended. ”

"I haven't read much of Seris history, but I do know that you could theoretically start a random sect — and there are a lot of people who do." The Grand Jeanne also said: "It is not difficult to say that an Orthodox sect is a sect of the Heavenly Sect. Whether it is Baba Ishak or Patriarch Zhang back then, they have really done this. Our Tomb Sect also has its own Heavenly Sect vest. ”

"What's a vest?" Theodora asked curiously.

The word he invented is...... I would like to pretend to be another identity. Da Jeanna pointed at Guo Kang and said.

"It doesn't have to be pretended, it could have been." Guo Kang said: "And what Tuhuan said is right, these days, a girl wants to be a clergyman, and it is indeed easier to ...... the Tianfang Sect."

"I suspect that this is the problem of cultural accumulation." "I've talked to a few friends before," he said. The number of goddess clergy is almost synchronous with the rise and fall of the Heavenly Sect world. ”

"When they arose, they appeared more and more frequently, and most of them were in places with deep cultural heritage, such as Egypt, Syria, and the Two Rivers. I think it may have nothing to do with the sect itself, but something to do with the economy and culture. In the future, if they decline, it is estimated that they will also develop in parallel. ”

"Seems to make sense." Tuhuan thought for a while and said.

Guo Kang is not making it up. According to the statistics of later generations, it is true that the number of female jurists began to decline rapidly after the 18th century, and they are still strangely synchronized with the rise of Europe and the decline of the Tianfang world. The pattern here is more interesting.

"Of course, the simplest is our Roman Church." He added: "It's okay to mix well, you can say that you are the sister of Brother Tian." I think our side is the one with the highest ceiling. ”

"Uh......" Theodora was speechless.
