Because of Cook's words, the whole St. Peter's Square was buzzing with comments. The believers looked at Fang Ming and Pope Louis Vuitton with doubtful eyes, as if they wanted to confirm whether what Cook said was right.
In the hearts of many believers, the Son of God is the incarnation of the Lord, a saint with no moral flaws, and naturally cannot lie. That's why when Cook revealed Fang Ming's real name, it caused such a big commotion.
On the viewing platform, many guests had different expressions at this moment, some were surprised, and some were sneering. For most of the guests, they did not want to see a son of God appear in the church, because that would mean that the church's power territory would once again change.
expand.
Therefore, at this moment, when someone comes out to question the identity of the Son of God, they are naturally happy to see it happen, and the British Prince Cassel has a light flashing in his eyes and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised.
"I have a few friends in the East. When I sent them photos of the Son of God, they told me about the true identity of our Son of God. He was the one who was being hunted and killed in the East and couldn't stay any longer.
He ran to our west to escape." Seeing Fang Ming's silence, Cook said while the iron was hot.
"Cook, do you know what you are talking about?" Chel roared.
"Archbishop, of course I know what I'm talking about. If it's about other things, that's okay, but this is related to the future of my church. If this liar becomes the Son of God, then our church's eternal foundation may be destroyed."
Cook looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and his words were approved by many church members and believers. The Son of God is of great importance to the church, and no problems are allowed to arise.
"You... you are simply seeking death. The Pope has personally confirmed the Son of God. Are you questioning the Pope?"
Chel had an angry expression on his face, but as he spoke, Pope Louis Vuitton raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Fang Ming. Fang Ming also cast his gaze on Louis Vuitton's face at this time.
The two looked at each other with deep meaning in their eyes, because after Fang Ming heard Chel's words, the first thing he thought of was that the other party was not only targeting him, but also the Pope in front of him.
Archbishop Chel's words sounded like he was scolding Cook, but as soon as he said these words, he also implicated the Pope. His identity was confirmed by the Pope himself. If there is a problem with his identity, wouldn't it be
It means the Pope has failed in his duty.
The pope is the highest authority in the church, but the church has a body of co-presbyterians. If the pope commits serious negligence, although the co-presbyterian body cannot remove the pope, it can deprive the pope of his power.
The pope in the Western Church has a lifelong appointment system. As long as the pope does not violate the canon rules, it is impossible to step down, because the pope's step down is not a good thing for the church. It will affect the loyalty of believers to the church, and there may even be a schism.
Phenomenon.
Therefore, the Pope has only been dismissed once in the history of the church, and that dismissal almost caused the church to split, and was directly suppressed by the Dark Council for nearly a hundred years.
Since then, the church has never removed a pope. If the pope is really at fault, it will only reduce the power in the hands of the pope and make the pope just like the British royal family. It only has the empty title of pope and will be replaced by the successor of the next pope.
Responsible for specific matters.
Although Fang Ming did not understand some of the history of the church, he was not stupid. Chel's words were clearly intended to bring down the Pope. As long as it was confirmed that his identity was false, the Pope's reputation would inevitably decline.
It seems that the struggle for power within the church is fierce, but your struggle for power is your business, but why should I be involved?
Fang Ming shook his head and turned his eyes to Cook.
"What, am I right?" Cook saw Fang Ming's eyes and replied without fear.
"Yes, of course, my real name is Fang Ming."
Fang Ming had a smile on his face, but his answer caused an uproar on the scene, especially among the believers, who couldn't believe that the Son of God was really a liar.
"I admit it, I'll have a good show this time."
"Killing two birds with one stone, I'm afraid the church is about to change."
The guests on the auditorium were also whispering softly at this moment, but most of them had expressions of gloating. The more intense the internal fighting in the church, the happier they were.
"His Royal Highness the Son of God?"
Hearing Fang Ming's admission, Gama had a look of anxiety on his face. Louis Vuitton's close confidants also had the same look. In their opinion, this son of God is too weak, even if you really conceal your real name.
, there is no need to admit it so quickly.
As long as they don't admit it and then speak up later to suppress the matter, at least the Pope's face will be saved.
Among all the people, only Pope Louis Vuitton's expression has not changed much, and he still has the same indifferent expression.
"Okay, finally admitted."
Cook also had a look of ecstasy on his face. As long as the other party admitted it, his goal would have been achieved. He immediately shouted: "Tell me, what are your intentions in concealing your true identity and pretending to be the Son of God? And you also deceived the Pope."
"What's the intention?" Fang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, "I just admitted that I concealed my real name. When did I say that I was pretending to be the Son of God?"
"Aren't you pretending to be the Son of God?" Cook had a sneer on his face, still wanting to quibble at this time.
"Hahaha!"
Fang Ming suddenly burst out laughing. This laughter made everyone present look puzzled. They didn't know why Fang Ming was still laughing at this time.
"It's simply ridiculous. Fortunately, you are still a member of the church. You don't even know what the Son of God represents, and you are still talking shamelessly here."
After laughing, Fang Ming's eyes were like lightning and he looked at Cook with a cold expression. Cook looked unconvinced and replied: "Of course I know what the Son of God is. The Son of God is the reincarnation of the Lord, and it is the Lord who came to the world to guide him.
of believers.”
Hearing Cook's answer, many believers around him nodded with approval. The Son of God is the reincarnation of the Lord, and it is the Lord who came to the world to atone for the sins and pray for His believers. This is also recorded in the Bible.
"Oh, since you know, do you know how the Son of God was discovered?" Fang Ming continued to ask.
"Of course I discovered it through the church's baptism ceremony." Cook looked at Fang Ming with an idiot look.
Babies throughout the West will receive the blessing of the priest when they are born, and at that time the priest will identify whether the baby is the Son of God, and if so, immediately report it to the church, and then the church will take the Son of God, including the parents of the Son of God, to the Vatican
Come.
"What if the Son of God has not been baptized yet?"
"If you haven't been baptized, you are just like ordinary people." Cook answered without thinking, because he felt that what the person in front of him asked was nonsense, and even ordinary believers knew this information.
"Yes, I was just an ordinary person before I was baptized."
Fang Ming repeated Cook's words. At this point, his hole had been dug. Seeing the smile on Fang Ming's face, many people present had doubts on their faces because they seemed to have noticed.
What arrived.
"As a bishop, since you know this, why do you dare to slander His Highness? Maybe you feel that there is nothing His Highness can do to you!"
Fang Ming suddenly shouted loudly, startling Cook and everyone else.
"Where is the person from the Inquisition? This person has slandered His Highness. Why don't we take him down quickly and deal with him in accordance with canonical rules?"
After hearing Fang Ming's words, several people from the Inquisition in an inconspicuous corner were caught off guard, and for a moment they didn't know whether they should act or not.
"What are you doing? After being exposed by me, you became so angry that you wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone. I'm not slandering the Son of God, I'm exposing you as a liar."
Cook was anxious. He did not expect that at this moment, the other party would dare to attack him, hoping that the people of the Inquisition would take him down. He immediately looked at his archbishop.
Chel frowned. Yes, Cook suddenly stood up because of his instructions. In his opinion, the false son of God should have a panicked look on his face after his identity was revealed, but he is so calm now.
, and also asked the Inquisition to arrest people, which was beyond his expectation.
Does the opponent still have a trump card?
Chel was a little hesitant, but after seeing Cook's look for help, he knew that he must not give up at this time. If he missed it, he would have no chance to pull Louis Vuitton's hand again today.
"His Royal Highness the Son of God, Cook has questioned your identity. I think what His Highness the Son of God should do now is to prove his innocence. After all, so many believers are watching here. If you don't give everyone a satisfactory explanation, the reputation of the church will be affected.
It’s a huge blow.”
Chel finally stood up, and as he stood up, several bishops also followed suit.
"Oh, do you want a satisfactory answer?"
Fang Ming turned his gaze to Chel, with deep meaning in his eyes, and replied after a while: "Since you want a satisfactory answer, I will tell you."
"As the Son of God, before his baptism, His Highness did not know his identity at all, so he was born in the East and became an Eastern cultivator by chance. However, after arriving in the West, he received holy water and the people who were taught discovered his identity as the Son of God.
, then I realized that I was the reincarnation of the Lord.”
Fang Ming spoke, and his words made Decel's heart skip a beat, and a faint bad feeling emerged from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes, His Highness is from the Eastern cultivation world, and he did change his name when he came to the West, but this was all before he discovered his identity as the Son of God. After knowing his identity as the Son of God, His Highness only has the church in his heart.
There are many believers of the Lord who are thinking about how to spread the glory of the Lord. As for the past, it is just the past, and I have completely let go of it.”
Chel's expression changed, because he finally understood where the bad feeling in his heart came from. He had calculated everything, but he did not notice that there was a huge flaw in their plan.
