"You heard me? Contact Mr. Varlan as soon as possible."
After the blond young man left, Mayor Yadan took a breath, summoned the clerk and secretary, and ordered: "When you see Mr. Varlan later, remember to tell him some precautions and don't let his behavior offend Bié.
Archbishop
"Okay." After receiving the order, Clerk Delai Bao hurriedly left.
The secretary, Miss Elger, hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong? What do you want to say?" Yadan noticed the secretary's expression.
"You said that Mr. Varlan is also very important. He was hired with great difficulty, but now you want him to compromise in order to welcome a Christian bishop? Will this go smoothly?"
"Things must be prioritized. Although it is not easy to offend, the archbishop in front of you is undoubtedly more important. In comparison, Mr. Varlan will indeed feel a little aggrieved, but if he understands the identity of the archbishop
He should understand given his status." As he spoke, Mayor Yadan showed a look of shame: "Oh, we must compensate him after the incident."
"John Biel, Archbishop of the Central Christian Diocese, 33 years old."
Looking at the information introducing the Archbishop of the Central Christian Church in his hand, Colin frowned slightly and compared it with the information he saw on the floppy disk.
The information sent by the city hall mainly listed the important points in Bishop Biel's twenty-year religious career, including the process of officially joining the church, serving as a bishop, and being promoted to archbishop. There are not many words, and it is not counted.
It's detailed, but highlights the important points worth noting.
"Church schools, strictly speaking, are public welfare organizations and were established with the funding of the Cross. This is a great charity."
"Okay, don't be embarrassed, let's go on, what else should we pay attention to." Colin waved his hand, seeming to have skipped this link.
Most of the contents of the floppy disk that the masked man Gerson gave to Colin were about Christianity, and many of the contents involved were different from what Colin had heard and collected in the past.
On the phone, Mayor Yadan's helpless voice came out. He seemed to be always in a state of distress.
For example, the Cross Church had a huge split in history, and then declined rapidly. It was once reduced to a declining church like the All Souls Temple, but it eventually persisted and relied on the New World to rise again;
For example, the teachings of Christianity have been revised many times. The original teachings mentioned the concept of one God, but due to various pressures, it was finally changed to the Supreme God;
For example, the Christian Holy Scriptures have a whole set of worldviews that can permanently distort the cognitive world of believers. To put it simply, once you believe in the God of the Cross, it won’t take long for that person’s conduct and outlook on the world to change.
The way of the world will change, and the understanding of good and evil will tend to be a binary model of black and white, no longer flexible, and biased toward extremes;
For example, believers of the Cross will mention their Lord, the Supreme God, in almost everything they do, and will attribute all results to their Lord. But this god is not like the gods of other orthodox churches.
, has specific names, such as the God of Wisdom, the God of Moonlight, and even the name of God is not specified. In most cases, it can only be replaced by "Lord" or a strange syllable.
Mission schools, orphanages and churches.
"However, it was written in the information of the big dog owner that Archbishop Pierre was an orphan since he was a child and was abandoned at the door of the church. The reason why he officially joined the Holy See when he was three years old was because that year, something happened in the church that adopted him.
The plague had all been wiped out, and he was the only one left. When the superior priest went to investigate, he discovered his qualifications."
"Then who respects your customs?" Colin interrupted as this sentence brought back some memories, "I'm curious, if we go to the New World and visit the Central Diocese, do we also have to respect their customs?
"
Recalling the contents of the floppy disk, Colin's sense of déjà vu became stronger and stronger. This was so similar to the monotheistic religion he knew in his previous life, especially the extreme thinking of either/or, black or white.
It's even more the same.
Delaibao breathed a sigh of relief and complimented: "Thank you for your understanding. You are a good person."
"I'm not a good person, and I don't want to understand you. I just don't want to waste time here." Colin didn't want to be blocked by a good person card at all. "When we meet later, I will talk about these things as appropriate, but the details will be
Whatever problems arise, it has nothing to do with me, because of freedom of speech, right? Moreover, you mentioned too many things to pay attention to. You should also pay attention to this and that. Unfortunately, my memory is not good and I can’t remember too much.
many."
While Colin was thinking, Dreibao looked out the window, and then reminded: "Mr. Varlan, when you see the archbishop later, please be careful not to mention other religions that have nothing to do with the Lord of the Cross.
, even if it’s an orthodox religion, it’s not allowed, because…”
Yes, Colin still agreed to Mayor Yadan's request and agreed to welcome the archbishop as a representative of the Bursenberg academic community.
"There is no way, Bursenberg is weak after all..." Delai Bao was about to sigh, recalling that his boss reminded him that he must respect Mr. Varlan when facing him, because the young man in front of him is very important in the academic circle.
It has quite a bit of prestige.
…
"But no matter what, there are so many similarities between this Christian sect and that sect in my previous life. I have to figure it out, otherwise I won't feel at ease. This time I get close to the Holy Son of the Christian sect. This is an opportunity. Although there are potential dangers, fortunately I
There is also a backup plan. Although the assessment has been destroyed, there is such a relationship, and if someone really pursues it, it is completely possible for Clovis official to endorse my extraordinary abilities."
"Many," Dreibao raised his head, "In addition to the compulsory theological content, it also involves specific skills. In fact, the church college has a nine-year system. In addition, there are also specialized universities and technical colleges.
Graduates are generally between the ages of 13 and 15. They can directly participate in performance and skill assessments. Those with excellent grades can go to major universities for further studies, and those with good skills can be qualified for various jobs."
For a moment, he only felt that one was as big as the other, and he was in a dilemma.
"Mr. Varlan, when can you leave? Your Excellency the Archbishop is already at the City Hall, and will then go to the Church College to express condolences." The Clerk of the City Hall did not go around in circles. "If you can leave, I will arrange for a driver to pick you up."
"
"But Gou Dahu said that this man is the Holy Son of the Cross! The information he gave me also stated that the so-called 'Holy Son' is a carrier in a certain god system that can carry the coming of divine power. And holy power,
It is not limited to divinity, divine power, divine light, etc. To put it simply, the 'Holy Son' can be regarded as a god, or a trumpet and spare tire such as an auxiliary god! Come to think of it, this Bishop Pierre is the Holy Son.
Once your sub-constitution is discovered, the journey will be smoother."
After hanging up the phone, Draib looked at Colin and breathed a sigh of relief.
Listening to the itinerary of the Holy Son of the Cross, Colin was a little confused about the other party's path, but the more this happened, the more he needed to understand.
"Could it be that Mr. Varlan has been pretending to be talkative before, so that we can relax our vigilance and keep arranging things, and then when we can no longer retreat, he suddenly attacks, leaving us with nothing to do? This..."
Colin interrupted him and asked: "What will you learn in a church college?"
After thinking this, he no longer hesitated and replied: "Let someone pick me up. I'm going to the missionary school."
In his previous life, Colin was influenced by popular science articles on the Internet and thought that the Western world was not a world of human relations and got rid of nepotism. However, he was reborn here and experienced it firsthand, only to discover that countries under this Western system have a revolving door of politics and business, letters of introduction, and sponsorship.
There are endless social activities such as money and social activities. Compared with the motherland in the previous life, it has a higher level. The gap is comparable to that of an industrial country and an agricultural country.
Thinking of this, Colin's eyes narrowed.
"Of course, because we were at their place at that time..." Delaibao woke up mid-sentence.
"It'll be there soon."
"But the problem is, the information mentions that every religion has a tradition of the Holy Son, and its root lies in the Cross Religion. Its history can be traced back to the birth of the Cross Religion two thousand years ago. At that time, a cross carrying divine power
Teaching the Holy Son to walk in the world caused this sect to appear in the Old World and develop rapidly. However, this behavior broke the original balance. Under the suppression of all parties, the Holy Son was eventually crucified on the cross, and the entire sect also
Suppressed by all parties, it declined rapidly and disappeared from historical records for a time. It was not until the great voyages of modern times and the Age of Discovery, relying on the development of the New World, that it re-emerged in new lands."
Colin smiled and said meaningfully: "Some people's customs seem more noble. Whether we are visiting or they are guests, it is always them who need to be respected."
"Agree, we can only agree, otherwise what should we do? We have no choice! Why choose this time? I thought Mr. Varland was a gentleman."
"Am I overthinking? Or is Gerson's judgment wrong?"
For Colin, as long as he mastered this information, he would not have no basis for communication when facing the archbishop.
Colin nodded, having a general understanding of the church college, and felt that it might not be that simple. However, no matter what the purpose of the church, it is willing to recruit children from disadvantaged groups and provide them with free education opportunities.
It is commendable because it can change many people's lives.
For example, Christianity originated in the Old World about two thousand years ago, earlier than the origins of several orthodox churches;
"Of course not, our people will take you to a missionary school." There was the sound of turning pages of paper on the phone. Delai Bao seemed to be flipping through something, and then he said: "Of course, you can also go there later.
, His Excellency the Archbishop's schedule is quite full. He will go to the missionary college in the morning, the orphanage at noon, and the church in the afternoon. If you don't plan to come over now, we will have to make arrangements for it."
Thinking of this, Colin frowned more and more.
Looking at the sudden change in Delai Bao's expression, Colin shook his head and chuckled: "Look, the situation has changed a bit, but didn't you consider these dangers before inviting me? Or, you decided that I am a good talker, so you decided
Let me endure some grievances to complete your political achievements?"
Colin was sitting in the car, listening to the introduction by his fellow secretary De Laibao. The latter not only came with the car, but also held a small book. While reading, he told Colin the precautions: "
Those who enroll in missionary schools are all children from poor families, and of course, there are also a large number of orphans. What you need to do, in addition to expressing goodwill to these children, is also careful not to raise objections to religious education.
This is important."
"Will your conveyance be taken seriously?" Colin knew the result when he saw Delai Bao's ugly face, so he smiled and said: "So, the first step is to add more money. Such a difficult target, originally
The number is somewhat insufficient."
After thinking about it, he asked tentatively: "Do you have any good suggestions? We will convey them to the Christian church."
Just as he was thinking about it, his cell phone rang, and when he opened it, Dreibao's voice came from it.
Of course, he knew very well that even the information provided by Gerson was not comprehensive and even contained errors and omissions - this was something Gerson also emphasized and reminded him in the information.
"I see."
De Laibao began to wipe his sweat. Looking at the smile on Colin's face, he suddenly panicked and realized that the worst situation had arisen——
"Should we go to the City Hall first?" Colin's heart moved and he asked. After the last experience, he didn't like the City Hall as a place, and he became more wary of the mayor.
Noticing Colin's expression, he suddenly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I don't think there is a problem with your faith, but because of your Christian habits. You know, sometimes we have to respect other people's customs...
…”
But Colin narrowed his eyes. This time, the test did not yield any useful results. The mayor still showed helplessness and sincerity, and there was nothing worthy of doubt.
"Religions and churches involve the supernatural and mysterious. Extinction events will occur and only one person is left. It is not simple no matter how you think about it. It is difficult to say that there is no inside story. But even the intelligence channels of big dogs cannot figure out what happened.
What. It can be said that everything has been smooth sailing since Biel joined the Christian Church. He was promoted one after another and became one of the archbishops of the five major dioceses. Normally, the youngest archbishop of a diocese has to be fifty years old to serve, but Biel
When you took office three years ago, you were just thirty years old, and now you are only thirty-three! According to normal circumstances, being able to do this must either have amazing abilities or amazing connections! If it does not involve occultism,
I would think it’s the latter.”
Soon, the car he was riding in stopped outside the church school.
Looking at the vast building in front of him, Colin stepped forward, and he vaguely felt as if there was a warm, huge flame that was releasing light and heat inside the academy.
Involuntarily, he felt good about it, and then he became wary!
