Chapter 74 74·Secret Election

Outside St. Peter's Church, on St. Peter's Square, the number of people gathered reached 100,000.

Viewed from a high altitude, the crowd looks like a carpet of ants gathered together.

Moreover, there are many people and believers who have arrived in Enfa City, and they are constantly pouring into Genni Kingdom.

On this night, the Holy See of Genini entered the highest level of alert.

Moreover, the Pope's coffin has not yet been buried, and his body lies in St. Peter's Church.

Even the current deceased pope was probably one of the most controversial popes in the history of the church.

But this does not affect the sadness of the devout believers over the passing of the Holy Lord's spokesperson.

In St. Peter's Square, the mournful cries of the believers who gathered together made people feel sad.

Not everyone is crying, most of them are waiting for tomorrow's secret election to see whether a new pope will emerge.

Only a very small number of the world's cardinals and members of the College of Cardinals are stationed in the Holy See of Genia on a daily basis.

is their leader.

"Bishop Rama is a reformist!"

After all, Stuer does not belong to the bishop, and his current priesthood in the church is just that of a monk.

Stuhl nodded and remembered the names of the four men.

After the Pope's body is buried in the church, all the bishops enter the Sistine Chapel for a secret election.

However, the reformists hope that the Holy See can carry out comprehensive reforms, otherwise it will only become more and more declining. The reformists believe that the catastrophic theory is just an introduction.

Several bishops will be selected and recruited to gather around the Pope's body to chant and pray for him.

When I was a child, they took me to Enfa City for a trip, and then to Genni Country once."

"Your Highness, even the bishops are not allowed to go to the Holy See without receiving a call from the Holy See. The Holy See's divine law is very strict in this regard."

He is buried in the catacombs of St. Peter's Church.

It wasn't until he watched the Holy See on TV that he discovered that there were almost a dozen such huge churches connected together in the country of Genni.

Finally, we waited for the moment when the Pope's burial was broadcast on TV.

Separately live in their own 'secret rooms'.

In his eyes, St. Neil's Church was already huge enough, and it was even a well-known landmark in Monte City.

At this moment, in Stuer's room, there is also Deputy Priest Phil.

The deacon continued: "But there are many other groups between these two factions who have very different opinions from each other."

"So this time around the election of the new pope, who do you think it might be?"

All the bishops came to the Sistine Chapel.

This made him not very understanding of these fanatical priests, but if he thought about it carefully, the Pope could also be regarded as the leader of believers and priests. Although it was not the end of faith, he was the spokesperson of the Holy Lord in the world.

After the procession to see off the Pope's body circled the obelisk in the middle of St. Peter's Square, the Pope's body was returned to St. Peter's Church for burial.

Stuer nodded: "You are the deputy priest of this archdiocese, second only to Bishop Rama. Don't you usually have the opportunity to go to the Holy See?"

Through the TV broadcast, Stuer looked at the crowds of people in St. Peter's Square and the majestic church buildings around it.

“Whether they are the reformists or the conservatives, there are a total of four candidates from both parties, namely:

There is one cardinal in every archdiocese.

In St. Neil's Church in Monte, Stuer was sitting quietly on a chair watching TV, but the news media always inserted several scenes of him in St. Peter's Square.

"Which faction did Bishop Rama belong to before?" Stull asked.

This made Stuer even more curious, until the deacon who came to serve breakfast told him that the secret election of the Pope would not be held until after noon.

The Pope's funeral is the most sacred ceremony in the church. When the first ray of sunlight penetrates the stained glass of St. Peter's Church in the early morning, it shines into the hall of St. Peter's Church.

Stuart glanced sideways, only to find that there were tears in the deputy priest's eyes.

The deacon continued: "I was not born in a family of Holy Lord believers. My parents are ordinary workers.

Stuer was stunned. He really didn't expect that the old man who looked full of bureaucracy was actually a reformist.

In this way, the dream and the settings that had been made in advance would make it even less likely to cause accidents, but this process made him very curious.

A pendant censer swayed with white smoke in the hands of a cardinal, walking slowly around the Pope's body.

Stuer asked him: "Have you ever been to the Holy See before?"

But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was right. People like Bishop Rama were really suitable for the reformists.

He has a questioning attitude towards the Holy Lord, even if he suddenly shouts that he supports science, Stuer would still feel normal.

Lord Bishop Menethil.

“I went there when I was little.”

And enter the Sistine Chapel through the Bronze Door.

Although Stuer knew that he would be the new pope this time, he did not know how the bishops who were secretly elected in the Sistine Chapel would vote for him.

Lord Bishop Geza.

Normally there are no more than two cardinals in any country in the world.

And the bishops in various places will not give more preference to which country just because its economic situation is better and more developed.

To be on the safe side, Stuer also added a setting in the mysterious book, and the new pope would definitely be him.

The Pope's body was carried out by pallbearers, followed by a long procession of bishops, and a passage was separated early from the crowded crowd in St. Peter's Square.

Lord Bishop Sink."

The vast majority of cardinals and cardinals are assigned to serve in the management of archdioceses in various countries.

Religion values ​​believers, population, and missionary work. After satisfying these aspects, wealth comes second.

Monsignor Jorge.

The main reason for the decline of the church is the derailment of the cultural environment between various countries, all walks of life, and the common people!"

The deacon thought for a while and explained: "There are actually two major factions formed between the College of Cardinals and the bishops, the Stable Faction and the Reform Faction!

The conservative faction hopes to restore the majesty of the Holy See, at least not to let the image of the Holy See continue to decline, and then maintain it.

During the election of the pope, the Sistine Chapel was completely isolated from the rest of the world. The doors were locked and sealed, and no one was allowed in or out.

Except for one phone for emergency contact, all other phone lines are cut off.

The only channels for communication between the inside and outside are the two turntables located on the 'bronze door'. The food, medicine, etc. that need to be delivered inside are placed on the turntables, and the staff rotate the turntables to send them in.

When the bronze door outside slowly closes, the isolation between the two worlds is formed.
