Theodora was accustomed to the "whimsy" of these people, but the situation still often made her feel big.

"Well, I see what you mean. But now that we're in this situation, what are you going to do? She had no choice but to ask, "Is there a priesthood for Mademoiselle Jeanne?" ”

"The opposition is too big to be worth it." Grand Lama Wang replied seriously: "Although our church has some discord with the Greeks and Rus', after such a long run-in, everyone has become accustomed to it. In this case, let's make a big move...... It's a little less than worth it. ”

"It's not impossible to insist on implementing this policy. But does that make sense? He asked rhetorically.

"We did have a lot of disputes with them over the establishment of the Romanian Church, but as a result, we got an efficient court and church that was almost theocratic. We promoted education, improved management, trained soldiers, and made Rome stronger, and the whole country continued to benefit from it. ”

Therefore, starting from the patriarch Zhang, everyone has been working hard under pressure. Eventually, even the Greeks, who had opposed us, saw our results and began to recognize and join us. ”

"If we confer priesthood on women as well...... It's not impossible. He thought for a moment and said, "But how can this policy be maintained?" ”

"We don't think about doctrine or anything, we just talk about the ministry itself. The number of clergy in our country is limited. To promote women, someone has to go down. He reminded: "Who will make this sacrifice?" Will they be willing? ”

"Take a step back, even if we stick to this policy. But I'm not too old, and when I retire, will the new patriarch be replaced? Will the Great Khan and his ministers still support him? ”

"So, an order can't be given by patting the head. If the decision is not appropriate, not only will it not achieve the desired effect, but it will have the opposite effect. ”

"If you want this policy to be sustained, it's very simple, just let people keep seeing the benefits of doing it. The question is, what is the benefit of this for now? ”

The crowd was silent for a moment.

"I may be talking a little harshly, but the princess doesn't have to worry too much." He shook off the dust and said with a smile, "Actually, this is not a high request, just let the Heavenly Father show another miracle." ”

"Not to mention anything else, if a woman is appointed as a priest, and Heavenly Father will let Guo Gongzi's Steam Heavenly Brother move directly, then I can resign now and let her be the Great Pastor."

Theodora and little Jeanne glanced at each other, as if they didn't expect that the great lama Wang, who had always seemed confused, thought so clearly in this regard.

"Brother Kang, don't you like to predict the future, you can do the math for them, look at when little Jeanne can go to France to be a bishop." Tuohuan began to instigate Guo Kang.

"This, just take it one step at a time." Guo Kang said: "Aren't there women as teachers in our farms? Over time, this measure could be formalized to allow capable people to take higher formal positions. ”

"Our bishops and priests are, by their essence, administrative and educational officials. Therefore, when these conditions are ripe, you can directly transfer them to the past. Instead of making a few special cases for publicity, it is better to popularize education in a down-to-earth manner. When everyone's education level comes up, they don't let them take office, and they feel wasted. ”

"That's right." Tuhuan thought about it and felt reasonable: "So, how long do you think it will take for us to achieve it?" ”

"The richer and stronger we are, the faster we can achieve it." Guo Kang also thought for a moment and said, "In my lifetime, I think I can realize the pilot." As for the complete rollout, it may have to wait for the steam brother to mature. Probably...... One or two hundred years? ”

Theodora sighed and said nothing.

"That's fine, it went better than I expected." Tuhuan remembered something again, and continued to ask: "The richest and most powerful country today is the Daming Kingdom of Seris." How long do they take? ”

"They don't have a church, and the officials are completely theocratic. If it's the head of a folk religious group, that's fine now; If it is an official of the imperial court...... That's a lot more difficult. Guo Kang pointed out: "Moreover, it is difficult to say whether there will be disasters in the Ming Dynasty in the future." However, the worst-case scenario for Seris is ...... More than 400 years is enough. ”

"My God......" Jeanne sighed as well.

"What about France? On the side of the Roman Catholic Church, when will there be a female bishop? Tuohuan asked.

This time Guo Kang sighed.

"I don't know." He spread his hands: "It's beyond my expectations." ”

"Huh?"

Tuohuan and Xiao Jeanna stared at each other with wide eyes: "It's over, Guo Banxian doesn't know." ”

"What a nickname, this is!" Guo Kang said speechlessly.

"Okay, okay, it's too far. Let's keep training. Grand Lama Wang clapped his hands and beckoned everyone to take their hearts: "If you are interested, princess, you can also take a look here." ”

"yes, let's see if we're serious." Tuohuan laughed as he took out a wooden wheel from the pile of debris next to him.

"What is this?" Theodora asked.

"This is the sign of the miracle of the Holy Maiden." As he spoke, the king pointed to an icon on the wall: "You see, St. Catherine of Alexandria, the universal image is a young girl with a crown, and the symbol is the wheel with the blade behind it. ”

"This thing is said to be an ancient Roman torture instrument that fastened the blade to the edge of a wheel and then pressed it over to kill the prisoner. After Catherine was captured by the Roman Emperor, the Emperor planned to use the torture instrument to execute her, but she reached out and touched the wheel, which shattered. The early church regarded this event as a miracle, so the wheel became her symbol. ”

"This saint is also popular in England and France, and there are many churches where she is worshipped. The King of England is also said to have taken some of her relics from a monastery in Egypt. He said, "That's why if we can perform this miracle, it will also be good for our future publicity." ”

"Weird, huh." Guo Kang commented: "Use the torture tools used to deal with others as symbols. ”

"What's this, Brother Tian really died on the cross. Isn't she dead? "According to legend, she was finally beheaded by a Roman officer with a sword. I didn't use the sword as a symbol, which is interesting enough. ”

"Uh...... I really didn't expect such a lack of moral symbol......"

"So what are you performing? Let her also touch this round to pieces? Theodora looked at little Jeanne, clearly not convinced.

"Actually, it's possible, but it takes skill." Tuohuan said: "Come, Jeanna Woman, you come to perform." ”

"Okay."

Jeanne said, rolling up her sleeves. Tuohuan gripped the wheels as she stroked her fingers over them.

Then, she slowly shook her fingers back, and then suddenly exerted force, instantly throwing a punch. There was only a sound of hitting the ground, and a few pieces of the wooden wheel collapsed on the spot, and several obvious cracks also extended.

Tuohuan took the wheel, broke it, and showed Theodora: "You see, this is cracked. ”

"This scrapped wheel, the toughness of the wood is better, we can change it to a more brittle wood when we perform, and then let her gather more energy, which can play an instant explosion effect. Due to the short force distance, the audience in the distance can see the effect of 'touching and exploding'. ”

"It's also an assassination technique." Jeanne said proudly: "Little Jeanne has a good understanding, and she has made rapid progress in the past two days. With more practice, you will definitely be able to master it. ”

"So, you're practicing right here?" Theodora still looked surprised.

"It's to practice boxing according to the deeds of the saint." Grand Lama Wang corrected.
