After returning from the market, Adams was so angry that he lay in bed and rested for two days. He is over eighty years old and has never seen any big storms, but the current situation in Mexico is too unexpected.
Speaking of leader worship, it is actually very common. The United Kingdom likes to hang portraits of the Queen. Many European countries also have royal families, especially Japan and Thailand. Hanging a portrait of Guevara is even a trend in Latin America.
But..., a group of Mexicans did not hang the Madonna but hung a Chinese one. What made Adams most intolerable was the local people's taking it for granted. They even asked, "If you don't hang the portrait of His Majesty the Emperor, whose portrait is better?"
Worth hanging?'
Although he was extremely unhappy, His Majesty Adams finally comforted himself by explaining: This should be the executive order forced by the Aurora Legion in order to consolidate its rule. Maybe Victor Hugo asked every Mexican family to hang their own
Where's the portrait?
The dictator is so despicable and shameless!
His Majesty Adams put aside the anger and disgust in his heart and once again looked at this matter with a rational attitude. He must admit that the Aurora Corps worked hard to control society. It was simple, direct, and even crude brainwashing, but it was very effective.
.
"Yes, this is brainwashing! But the religious needs of Mexicans will not disappear easily. There are hundreds of years of religious belief here.
People will have ideological turmoil due to short-term social changes, but over time the accumulation of culture will exert influence again." His Majesty Adams firmly believed in this, "So I still have to make arrangements as soon as possible."
There are many examples of forcibly reforming society in the world, but only a handful of them have succeeded. After two days of rest, His Majesty's confidence regained again. After much thought, he felt that the common people in the city were too ignorant to be conspiring with them, so he should go.
It is better to visit the local religious people.
For example, ask what the situation is like with the Catholic local leaders here.
Although Mormons and Catholics don't get along very well, His Majesty Adams decided to lower his arrogance and show off his face. After all, we are all religious people and have something in common, so they must all be facing the same troubles.
In order to avoid too much embarrassment, His Majesty Adams first sent people to the largest and oldest Mexican Cathedral in Mexico City to report that he hoped to meet with the current Mexican Catholic Bishop Pomig. Bishop Pomig happily agreed to the meeting.
The two met at the Cathedral of Mexico, a classical religious building built in 1573 that took a full two hundred and fifty years to complete. Its solemn yet gorgeous Gothic style has always attracted the attention of tourists.
It is an important scenic spot in Mexico City.
When Adams arrived at the north side of Constitution Square in the city center, he got off the car and walked to the door of the cathedral. Bishop Pomig, who was in his forties, was already at the door to welcome him.
"Hello, Your Majesty Your Majesty Adams."
"Hello, Bishop Pomig."
Two religious figures who were originally incompatible experienced the sufferings of the end of the world and met across thousands of mountains and rivers. To be honest, both of them were quite emotional about this meeting and had a lot to say.
Walking into the cathedral, there is a choir rehearsing hymns in the main chapel. Two huge pipe organs that have existed since the 18th century are accompanying the rehearsal, and someone is playing soothing and gentle tunes on the piano.
"Ah..." Adams let out a long sigh. He liked this ethereal and holy music. He couldn't help but praise: "This is the church. Bishop Pomig, your choir is good."
Bishop Pomig also smiled proudly, and amidst the laughter of the two men, the melodious singing of the choir sounded, "I-Will-Follow-Him, Follow-Him-Wherever-He-May-Go."
Eh..., this song isn't quite right.
His Majesty Adams is old enough. He has heard a lot of hymns, but this one is definitely special. It is the theme song from the old movie "Sisters Are Crazy".
"How do you rehearse this song?" Adams felt that there were so many hymns, but you were not good at practicing that one, so you rehearsed this 'super flattering' hymn. This is suspected of being 'flattery'!
The soothing melody continued, but Bishop Pumig laughed and said: "We specially rehearsed this old song because Victor Hugo, the commander of the Legion, announced not long ago that he would become the Holy American Emperor, and all walks of life in our society have responded to this.
I feel honored.”
Ah..., aren't you rehearsing a song to God?
"We no longer call ourselves Commander of the Legion, but will directly change our name to Your Majesty from now on. The State Council of the Legion issued a special document for this purpose, requiring the cultural and educational departments to come up with several programs. When His Majesty comes back from North America, our loyal and patriotic Catholics will also go
Airport welcome.”
Is this a song rehearsed for Victor Hugo?
The bishop was laughing while talking, and His Majesty Adams just thought that there was something wrong with the other person's mind.
"Victor Hugo casually said that he wanted to be emperor, but you actually took it seriously? I happened to be there when he shouted that sentence.
Everyone is just competing for titles, this is just a joke. Of course, his title as emperor is indeed quite scary, but do you really need to flatter him like this?"
His Majesty Adams almost said, 'Your bones are too soft. Just for a joke, you are going to rehearse a super flattering hymn dedicated to the guy who calls himself the emperor?'
Wait... His Majesty Adams suddenly felt even more horrified, and he asked again: "What did you just say? Loyal to the Patriotic Catholic Church? Have you changed all your Christian names?"
If God really exists, if he knew this, he would have to strike down all of you blasphemers with a thunderbolt!
But Bishop Pumige could only shrug slightly awkwardly, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, we have changed it. This is necessary, the Legion forced us to change it."
"No one objects?"
"Dead men would not object."
"Do all believers accept this nonsense?"
"They are happy." Bishop Pomig pointed to the members of the choir and sighed: "In the past, Victor Hugo was called the legion commander, but his name was not loud enough. Now he is called the emperor, and the believers in the city just call him
The slogan 'Long Live Your Majesty' has been prepared, and the enthusiasm for the rehearsal was high."
This is really strange news!
Adams was stunned. The church choir had finished singing a section. The piano sound suddenly changed from slow and deep to cheerful and lively, and the tempo accelerated several times with several accents.
The choir joined in singing with joyful tones, 'I-Love-Him, I-Love-Him, I-Love-Him. And-Where-He-Goes, I'll-Follow, I'll-Follow.'
The pleasant singing echoed endlessly in the cathedral. The lead singer of the choir sang the joy and love in his heart with a high-pitched voice, as if there was really a 'The-One' listening in front of him.
This..., this..., this..., what is this? Has the Catholic Church in Mexico surrendered? When His Majesty Adams walked into the church, he thought that the rehearsed song was for the Lord, but now he understands that it is for the real Lord.
The 'Lord' listens.
You... you Catholics are so shameful!
I think back then, secular kings had to be approved by the Holy See to have legitimacy, but now you actually flatter and sing hymns to secular kings. You have been completely embarrassed by the gods!
Do you still have some transcendental taste? It’s degenerate. It’s so degenerate!
I blush for you!
The expression on Adams's head represents his mood at the moment, which is disdain, contempt, and sarcasm. In short, he just wants to draw a clear line with Bishop Pomig - don't say that you are from the religious world in the future, you are just a bunch of sycophants, I'm ashamed
To be with you.
Bishop Pumig also responded with a calm look: You have just arrived and you don’t know the situation, right? If you dare, don’t lower your head. It depends on whether your neck is stiff or His Majesty’s knife is sharper. Anyway, we
