When the plane stopped, at the VIP entrance, there were several men in robes standing there waiting. Among these men in robes, one was a blond foreigner. At this moment, compared to the others,
Despite his solemn expression, the foreigner's face showed a proud look.
"His Royal Highness the Son of God is the reincarnation of the Lord. This time only a few of us came to greet him. This is a kind of blasphemy and contempt for the Lord."
James looked at the bishops beside him with dissatisfaction in his eyes. If there was anyone who was happiest when Fang Ming arrived this time, it would be him.
The reason is simple. He is a bishop appointed by the Western Church. He came to China ten years ago. Originally, according to the Vatican's wishes, after staying in China for a few years, he would take over the position of archbishop of China.
What he didn't expect was that the situation here was completely different from what he had imagined. The Pope's orders were of no use here. The church here practiced the Three-Self principle, which is self-propagation, self-reliance, and self-support.
In other words, the Vatican has no jurisdiction over this area at all, which makes James' identity extremely embarrassing. Almost no one here is willing to pay attention to him.
Of course, the Vatican is also full of dissatisfaction with the Chinese church. It has always refused to approve some major activities of the Chinese church. Even the appointment and dismissal ceremony of the archbishop has been delayed.
After this situation lasted for more than ten years, the two sides finally reached an exchange of opinions mechanism, that is, the Chinese side asked the archbishop to submit a list of appointments and removals. If the Vatican had no objection, then the ordination ceremony could be held.
, if the Vatican does not agree, it will be shelved.
In other words, the West does not have the right to nominate at all, but only the right to agree and deny. It is under this situation that the Western Church will send James, hoping that James can open up the situation and finally let the East
The list submitted had his name on it.
What I didn't expect was that James was completely ignored here. As for the nomination, it was simply impossible. Therefore, the Vatican also shelved the list sent by the Chinese side and did not agree.
For James, he hated these people in front of him, because it was these people who caused him to accomplish nothing in the past ten years and wasted ten years in vain.
Originally, James thought that he could only do this, wait until the fifteen years expired, and then leave here in despair, but he did not expect that at this time, His Highness the Son of God would actually come.
Although the Eastern Church does not pay much attention to the Vatican's orders, even the arrival of the Pope may not be able to change it, and the Pope will not come. After all, the Vatican is not only the center of the church, but also a country, and the identity of the Pope is too sensitive.
However, His Highness the Son of God is different. His Highness the Son of God is the reincarnation of God. This is recorded in the canons of both the Western Church and the Eastern Church. The status of the Son of God is extremely transcendent. The Eastern Church dares not to obey the orders of the Vatican, but
But he did not dare to neglect His Highness the Son of God.
As long as His Highness the Son of God supports him, the Eastern Church will have no choice but to compromise. Otherwise, if His Highness the Son of God is angered, the reputation of the Eastern Church will drop sharply if he directly speaks ill of the Eastern Church to its believers.
"The Son of God hasn't arrived yet, and James is so complacent. I'm afraid he got wind of it from the Vatican."
"Less than a year after the coronation of the Son of God, he suddenly paid a visit to our area. I'm afraid the visitor is not a good person. Master, please prepare in advance."
The faces of the men in clerical robes who were a little far away from James were much uglier, because they didn't know what the Son of God wanted to do when he came this time. Although it was said that there was a connection between the Eastern Church and the Vatican, in fact the Eastern Church
This place is completely autonomous. The Vatican has never sent anyone except James ten years ago.
"I heard that this son of God is from China."
These people were discussing. They were all the leaders of the Eastern Church, and the man in his fifties called Lao Fu was the top leader and had the power of the archbishop. It was just because the Vatican did not agree.
It only has the power of an archbishop, but does not have the identity of an archbishop.
"Let's wait and see. In short, those who come are not good and those who are good will not come."
Fu Tianyang shook his head. He was also confused. He didn't know much about the identity of the Son of God. He only knew that the Son of God was originally a Chinese. He only knew it after he went to the West and was discovered by the Western Church.
Son of God identity.
No matter how big the conflicts are in the Vatican, Fu Tianyang believes that the Vatican will not lie about the Son of God. The reason is very simple. Even if it is for power, the church is still a believer in the Lord and will never dare to blaspheme the Lord.
Another point that puzzled Fu Tianyang was that there was no instruction from above regarding the arrival of the Son of God, nor did they tell them what attitude they should take toward the Son of God, as if they were unaware of the Son of God's arrival.
"Coming!"
James's eyes lit up because he saw a group of people walking towards this side, and the young man leading them looked like the Son of God in the photo given to him by the Vatican.
Ignoring Fu Tianyang and the others, James rushed over to greet them.
"This James is really eager to please."
"There is no other way. The Son of God came from the Vatican, and James was appointed by the Vatican. He is James' backer."
Several men around Fu Tianyang curled their lips. Fu Tianyang looked at Fang Ming, who was smiling not far away, and glared at the people around him, "No matter what the purpose of the other person's coming, the identity of the Son of God will not be false, and everyone will respect the body."
Click, follow me to greet the Son of God."
Fang Ming held Alice's hand, and behind him were a dozen church personnel. However, these were all civil servants of the church, and they were just ordinary personnel. It was not because the Pope did not arrange an archbishop for Fang Ming or something like that.
I had to accompany him because I couldn't do it.
Ordinary teachers from Western churches can come to the East, but if they are cultivators, they have crossed the line. The Eastern cultivation world will not allow Western cultivators to come in, so ordinary teachers can only be sent to follow.
"His Royal Highness the Son of God, your most loyal believer James pays homage to His Highness the Son of God."
James trotted all the way to Fang Ming, and without hesitation, he knelt directly at Fang Ming's feet. Although the church did not have this kind of kneeling etiquette, James didn't care. What he wanted was for the Son of God to be satisfied with him.
"It's so shameless."
"You don't even have dignity anymore."
Seeing James' actions, the people around Fu Tianyang were about to explode with anger, but Fu Tianyang pursed his lips, glared at the people around him, and walked quickly to Fang Ming.
"Archbishop Fu Tianyang of the Eastern Church welcomes the visit of His Highness the Son of God."
Fang Ming's eyes moved from James to Fu Tianyang. As for Fu Tianyang, he had obtained information from the Vatican before coming. This was the actual person in charge of the Eastern Church. He had controlled the Eastern Church more than ten years ago.
Just because the Vatican has never consecrated him, the archbishop has never been truly crowned.
Of course, there is a big difference between the Eastern Church and the Western Church. That is, although the Eastern Church also preaches, they are just ordinary people. Because of the particularity of the Eastern Church, the Vatican will naturally not teach the method of cultivation.
Fu Tianyang didn't see Fang Ming's response for a long time, and there was no change in expression on his face. However, the faces of those around him showed dissatisfaction, because in their opinion, the son of God deliberately wanted to give Old Fu
He showed off his power and left the old master here to dry.
"Bishop Fu, I have heard of your name in the Vatican. In a few decades, you have been able to turn the number of church believers from millions to tens of millions. You are indispensable."
After a while, Fang Ming finally spoke, but with a playful expression on his face, Fu Tianyang tricked him into a little trap. Fu Tianyang claimed to be archbishop in his words, but in fact the Vatican only recognized Fu Tianyang as a bishop.
identity, and does not agree with Fu Tianyang’s status as archbishop.
Now, Fang Ming directly calls Fu Tianyang Bishop Fu. This bishop can refer to the archbishop or the bishop.
Fu Tianyang blinked a few times, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, "Passing on the glory of the Lord and letting more people believe in the Lord is what I should do. It is not worthy of His Highness the Son of God's praise. When I heard His Highness the Son of God's arrival, the church members
Many believers are happy, I have already made arrangements, and I hope His Highness the Son of God will move to the church."
"Bishop Fu, please lead the way."
Fang Ming nodded, took Alice's hand and followed Fu Tianyang, while James, who was kneeling on the ground before, was dumbfounded, because His Highness the Son of God didn't pay attention to him at all, nor did he let him stand up. Could he continue like this?
Kneeling?
"God...His Royal Highness the Son of God."
Helpless, James could only speak, but after hearing James' words, Fang Ming showed an embarrassed look on his face, as if he had forgotten James's existence, and said: "Sorry, I just forgot, James, please get up."
James stood up awkwardly and was about to speak when Fang Ming and Fu Tianyang were already walking forward, and in the end they could only follow him angrily.
…
Zhangjiang Thanksgiving Church is a large church of the Oriental Church in Magic City. Fu Tianyang brought Fang Ming here. At this moment, this church has gathered more than 300 clergy members and nearly a thousand believers in Magic City. These are all in the Magic City.
Of course, these believers in the church in Shanghai were personally selected by Fu Tianyang, selected from hundreds of thousands of believers.
After all, the Son of God's status in the hearts of believers is too high. When they knew that the Son of God was coming, almost all the believers wanted to come. However, the church was so big that it was impossible to accommodate all the believers. In the end, some representatives were selected to come.
