Chapter 53 53·Criticism
Monte City, nine o'clock in the evening.
Elder Folan picked up a copy of today's evening paper.
There is City Window newspaper and several other newspapers.
He sits on the bench where worshipers sit during the day.
Spread out the newspaper in your hand and read the text carefully. Urban Window reported several recent missing cases in Monte City.
So far, the Monte City police have no clues, and the articles and reports are full of worries and worries about social instability.
In this article, he made many very blunt criticisms of the Monte City Police Department and the Federal Police Department.
They criticized them for not having any clues available until now. If the article published in the newspaper did not require careful wording, the reporter who wrote this report would have almost cursed the people in the police department and the federal police department as trash.
Elder Follan looked relieved. Thinking that he was taken away directly by the police this evening, he felt angry.
What is even most regrettable is that the enlightenment of Holy Baptism that finally appeared was interrupted because of this incident.
He wrote a case into a crime-solving short story series.
Moreover, City Window’s report this time seems to have used up all the luck it had in the Witrow case.
Elder Follan smiled bitterly. He couldn't explain clearly. After witnessing Stuer performing miracles at that time, whether he became a loyal believer in the Holy Lord or a believer in the Holy Son of Stuer.
Elder Follan then read on, and he found that Burris's report was particularly relevant to the mysterious pollution. It could be said that the other party was describing some characteristics of pollution.
"Someone is coming." The priest standing outside shouted loudly to the inside.
Elder Folan stretched his eyebrows. After reading Burris's news report, he could only say that this man's criticism of the Okyum Cult and the Egg of Life was really fierce.
This holy breath was like cleaning the dirt out of his body.
"Get away! Don't touch me, you bastards!"
We are priests serving the Holy Lord, not doctors who save lives and heal the wounded.
The article written by Burris is also very long, and it reports on the mysterious plague that suddenly broke out in Monte City today.
At this time, the scene taking place in front of them, doctors continued to send contaminated patients to the church, formed a huge contrast with the content in the famous painting a hundred years ago.
Elder Folan raised his hand to signal to all the clergy, and said: "Since they object, let's leave them alone and let those who don't object, or whose pollution situation is relatively serious, perform the sacraments first.
Elder Follan felt that the other party knew about the existence of strange demons and was just using this method to express it to the public in a subtle way.
But then he added hastily: "Many people are coming."
When human beings encounter unknown, incomprehensible things, or disasters, they will attribute them to God again.
It is not the reporter who is acquainted with His Highness.
It is not possible to perform holy baptism yet. Elder Fran has some small ideas of his own. He can still get the same treatment as Father Jose, and the Holy Son will come to guide and testify to him about holy baptism.
But he forced it down.
When a monk uses the "Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick" on a contaminated patient, he can see with his own eyes that the granules on the patient's body begin to gradually fall off, and the creeping sensation in the body begins to greatly reduce, and finally disappears.
Between life and death, as long as someone can heal them, the bottom line of their inner faith can be easily crossed, as if it doesn't exist.
Elder Folan stood up and shouted, and then said to all the clergy present: "Save the holy oil and use it sparingly. His Highness has personally blessed it, and the quantity is not very large.
Even a large amount of money was donated to the church.
They saw miracles from the mission hospital that this intractable disease could be cured, so the hospital, which was originally helpless, could only send these contaminated patients to St. Neil's Church.
"People only realize when they are between life and death. At that moment, they can either become a devout and loyal believer, or they can struggle with the instinct of survival."
Elder Folan smiled and explained that he suddenly felt the state of enlightenment again, which showed that he could perform holy baptism now.
Elder Folan seemed to have recalled some bad memories. He continued, "War, human nature, and many things happened that shook my faith in the Holy Lord. It was not until I met His Highness that I regained my firmness."
There was a sound of the shutter flashing, and City Window reporter Burris seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. He seemed to have known what would happen here, so he seized the opportunity to take a photo.
Even doctors understand that it is ridiculous to leave patients to the Holy Lord for healing, but at this time they can only pray to the Holy Lord for blessing and let a miracle happen.
These will become the photos published in the press release in tomorrow's morning paper.
People from the Okyum Cult collude with people from the Egg of Life organization, and they are killing believers in order to achieve their despicable goals.
"Don't riot, we are ready to perform the 'Anointing of the Sick' for those who suffer from mild symptoms of pollution!"
But this time, Burris didn’t know the inside story of the disappearance, so the newspaper changed the story to another reporter. This made readers who had read Burris’ report on the Withrow case look at the news content of this disappearance case written by others.
, it will feel boring.
"Don't have any psychological burden or moral condemnation. No one can tell us anything except the Son and the Lord."
Burris even directly pointed out in the article that the outbreak of pollution was related to the Okyum Cult.
The nun opened her mouth. According to Elder Folan's words, doesn't that mean that he has been an ungodly priest for most of his life!
Moreover, Burris also described in detail the various symptoms that patients would show when infected with the plague. Once infected, the morbidity and mortality rates were extremely high.
"You... why did you send me here!"
Elder Follan looked at another page. It was not that Urban Window did not publish the article written by Burris, but it was not written on the front page.
Special care is needed for the elderly.
"Damn it! This is the church of the Holy Bishop. I am a believer in the Okyum Religion. You should send me to the Tasim Temple."
Because the mission hospital cannot accept more patients.
It was the beginning of the confrontation between modern civilization and theocratic civilization.
At the same time, this article also very directly explains that the people currently being polluted are believers of the Okyum Religion.
They were to give the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick to the poor polluted people who were about to come seeking help, in order to purify them of the pollution in their bodies.
The other party even vaguely mentioned in the article that after being contaminated, if you don't die, there is a chance that you will become irrational and crazy, like a walking zombie like a monster.
His Highness hasn't come back yet, but the things he told us must be done well."
Doctors are helpless.
A young nun asked in a low voice from the side. She had just brought Elder Folan a cup of hot tea. After all, it was already nighttime, the weather was a bit cold, and Elder Folan was the oldest among them all.
But people have to believe something is wrong.
This is a very funny scene. The doctor who originally saved the patient actually sent the patient to the church.
When one of the contaminated persons was purified and cured, the others immediately put aside their resistance.
And not all believers in the Okyum Cult are resistant to the treatment of the Holy Bishop Priests.
And when the monk's fingers dipped in holy oil just touched the patient's forehead, the patient could clearly feel a holy breath flowing into his body.
The appearance of that painting signified the beginning of the end of theocratic supremacy, and has always been regarded by modern people as a symbol that civilians will no longer be fooled by religion.
All the priests in St. Neil's Church were ready to prepare.
He looked at the newspaper and saw the names of the people written in the reports.
Elder Folan put down the newspaper, not because it was possible, but because a miracle would definitely happen here.
Elder Follan took a sip of hot tea and said, "Why do you think they won't come!"
"They are all heretics!" the nun replied firmly.
If they firmly oppose it, it can only mean that they are not worthy to enjoy the blessings under the light of the Holy Lord."
It was a period when people were generally ignorant, and it was also a period when various religions and churches had the strongest influence. Even if people were sick, they would choose to go to the church to pray for God's mercy as soon as possible.
Even in the end, Burris encouraged those who were polluted and harmed by the Okyum Cult to go to St. Neil's Church to pray devoutly, and miracles might happen there.
At that time, the war happened to break out, and I was still a monk."
The door of the church was suddenly crowded with many people, including doctors to maintain order among the contaminated crowd. These people were transferred from other hospitals to St. Neil's Church.
Moreover, this reporter should have a good relationship with His Highness, and he also knows the inside story of many incidents, such as the so-called 'pollution'.
Even those who resisted fiercely at first now firmly shut their mouths.
"Elder Folan, do you think anyone will come?"
Burris couldn't help but think of a famous painting in which a group of doctors in modern times were depicted snatching sick and ignorant patients from the hands of priests and monks in a church.
The press releases written by Burris always bring shocking details and clues to the public. It can be said that by reading his articles, the public feels as if they were on the scene investigating the case like the police detectives at the time.
Elder Folan was silent for a moment, and he said solemnly, "The instinct of survival will force the bottom line of faith. There was a time when my faith in the Holy Lord was shaken. When I was young, my hometown was a village in Yuzhou.
Small country.
After hearing what Elder Folan said, the monks and nuns would no longer care about those who resisted fiercely.
Even the vast majority of people cooperate obediently at first, and then start scrambling for the first time, fearing that they will be the last to be cured.
Elder Follan strolled over and looked at the pimples that were still left on the skin surface of these people after they had taken off the granules.
He shook his head: "Is this a gift from your belief in Pimir?"
He said in a deep and solemn voice: "How can God harm his own believers?"
