"Father Luo, why did you come to see me? Do the French people in Macao have anything to say to me?"
If he were a great Confucian scholar, Zhu Hongyu might be patient and play the role of a wise king and a virtuous minister, in order to win over people's hearts.
Regardless of whether Confucianism is helpful to governing the country or whether Confucianism represents the development direction of advanced productive forces.
Just because Confucianism is the most prominent school in China today, it is worth Zhu Hongyu's efforts to win over.
A great man once said that the most important thing in revolution is to distinguish who is the enemy and who is a friend!
It is very necessary to defeat enemies a little and make friends a lot!
In Zhu Hongyu's view, Confucian students are worthy of being attracted.
Because, in this era of China, Confucian students represent the entire ruling class.
Besides, compared with the lousy Catholic religious ideas in the West in this era, Confucianism, which had not been castrated by the Manchus in the late Ming Dynasty, was quite advanced.
But, Zhu Hongyu didn't have the patience to talk nonsense to a Catholic priest, so he asked directly.
Although he seems to have some impression of the name Luo Wenzao!
However, Zhu Hongyu had no intention of sorting out his memory because of his disgust with Catholicism.
Luo Wenzao said.
"Reporting to the Metropolitan, I would like to explain the Catholic doctrine to the Metropolitan on behalf of the Holy See."
"Please do not elevate the personal behavior of some scum to the entire Catholic Church!"
"Catholic teachings are civilized, kind, and peace-loving. They are by no means a cult with extreme teachings."
Zhu Hongyu said with a sneer.
"Yeah?"
"Then the Catholic teaching that pagans are not human beings and that you can go to heaven by killing pagans is also civilized, kind and peace-loving?"
"The Hongmao barbarians massacred the Ming people living in Manila twice during the Wanli and Chongzhen years. In which case did the church not act as a promoter and accomplice behind it?"
"All religions in the world encourage people to do good. I have never heard of a religion with such bad teachings!"
With a cold snort, Zhu Hongyu threw the pile of documents at hand towards Luo Wenzao, and then said coldly.
"Take a good look, this is the scandal that your so-called civilized, kind, and peace-loving religion has done all over the world!"
This stack of documents is the confession obtained by the Imperial Guards of the Liberation Army during their interrogation of the priests and bishops in the Manila church.
It records in detail the similar massacres, genocide, black slave trade, burning, killing and looting carried out by the Spanish, Portuguese, British, Dutch, French... and other European countries in the name of God...
After the great voyage began, they did similar things all over the world...
and more detailed confessions about what the church was doing in Manila.
This includes a series of things including kidnapping, imprisoning, abusing children, dissecting human bodies, and massacres to force Chinese people to believe in Catholicism.
Zhu Hongyu said coldly.
"These are the confessions of the priests and bishops of the Manila Church!"
"Haha, if you don't believe it, I can have someone take you to the ruins of the demolished church!"
"Look at the numerous bones, look at the bloody scene, look at those poor, inhuman children who were abused!"
"Father Luo, what else do you have to say?"
"Why, do you still insist that Catholicism is civilized, kind, and peace-loving?"
Zhu Hongyu's voice was cold, but his tone was not reproach or disgust, but hatred that iron could not be transformed into steel.
Because he suddenly remembered Luo Wenzao!
The first Chinese bishop of the Catholic Diocese of China in history, he is proficient in multiple languages and is good at astronomy, navigation, mathematics, geometry and other subjects.
The history books have only four words to describe this person: he is knowledgeable in both Chinese and Western knowledge!
To put it simply, well, this is a talent, a talent worth attracting!
After occupying Manila, the Liberation Army seized a large number of books from the Spanish Seminary of St. Thomas.
They are all Western works of this era, including geometry, astronomy, geography, navigation, mathematics, science, etc...
Basically, the essence of science and technology since the European Renaissance can be found in this batch of books.
Of course, more books on theology!
However, as long as it was related to God, Zhu Hongyu collected it and burned it.
When communicating between East and West, we should take the essence and discard the dross!
In Zhu Hongyu's view, the knowledge of religion and theology is the dross.
Then, the problem comes!
All of these books are written in Latin or Spanish, and Zhu Hongyu wants to make use of these books.
The first thing is translation!
There really is no such talent on Zhu Hongyu's side.
But, Zhu Hongyu now feels that as a time traveler, he is truly worthy of being the biological son of Father God.
When I fell asleep, someone brought me a pillow!
He was short of translators, so Luo Wenzao, who was well versed in both Chinese and Western studies, came.
Of course, if Luo Wenzao could not clearly realize the darkness and evil of the Catholic Church, he would willingly withdraw from the church and then return to the embrace of kind and righteous Confucianism.
Zhu Hongyu would rather send Luo Wenzao to a labor camp than use him!
At worst, he can just find someone to translate slowly!
These books are translated and used as teaching materials!
In case Luo Wenzao still has illusions about the Catholic Church, give him some personal information when translating the books.
And then the next generation of the Liberation Army learned these private goods, so isn’t that what they are doing?
Educational issues are not something to be joked about!
No need for poisonous textbooks!
Luo Wenzao stood there blankly, looking at the shocking document in his hand, and his whole person fell into a daze.
His body was trembling slightly, and his face turned blue and white.
He never imagined that the Catholic Church, which he regarded as holy and kind, would do such evil things!
Although he had heard about the Spanish massacre of China several times, he always thought that this was just a personal act of the Governor of Manila.
Just a coincidence!
In incidents like the Chinese massacre, the Catholic Church is innocent.
However, when he saw the files given by Zhu Hongyu, a feeling of being deceived and betrayed came over him.
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
It turns out that the kindness and civilization of the church are all fake, but deep down, they are so dark, ugly, and so heartless!
Those are children, how dare they, how dare they!
As for whether Zhu Hongyu was lying to him, Luo Wenzao thought it was impossible.
First, because Zhu Hongyu dared to say that he could go to the scene to inspect and participate in the interrogation.
Also, during the process of the Guangfu Army demolishing the church, so many children were rescued successively. If the story is false, it will not stand up to scrutiny at all.
Secondly, Luo Wenzao has a very clear positioning of himself!
What do you think you are?
Is it worth Zhu Hongyu, the governor-general in charge of the lives and deaths of thousands of people, to go to great lengths to prepare such a thick document to deceive himself?
