"I appreciate the kindness of all brothers and sisters, but this time it was indeed my dereliction of duty, and I ask His Highness the Son of God to punish me."
Fu Tianyang looked at Fang Ming. He wanted to see some information from the other person's eyes. However, what disappointed him was that the young His Highness the Son of God always had such a kind smile on his face, and his eyes were like Gujing's.
Without waves, no useful information can be gleaned from it.
Fang Ming looked at Fu Tianyang and said with a smile: "Bishop Fu is serious, this matter has nothing to do with you, and under your management, the Eastern Church has been prospering over the years, and the number of believers is also increasing. I will take your credit in the Vatican
I understand that even if I have done something wrong this time, the merit outweighs the fault."
When the believers at the scene heard Fang Ming's words, their faces showed joy. Bishop Fu had indeed done his best for the church, so when they heard that His Highness the Son of God did not blame Bishop Fu, but instead praised him, this was what they wanted to see the most.
.
On the other hand, Fu Tianyang, the person involved, was stunned for a moment, because Fang Ming's attitude was completely different from what he had imagined.
When Fu Tianyang thought about it, Fang Ming came from the Vatican, and the Vatican popes had never been to the East, so he thought Fang Ming was the preconception.
The person who came here is evil, this time he came here to seize power.
It was precisely because of this idea that after Zhao Yanxin was exposed by Tong Wendong, Fu Tianyang came up with the strategy of advancing before retreating, because he knew very well that Fang Ming had just arrived here, and he had already been ignored by them.
It is impossible for James, who has been in control of the church for many years, to agree to his resignation.
He was just expressing his position to the believers, and of course he was already prepared for Fang Ming to take this opportunity to push James out to take power. If he wanted James to take power, he must be held accountable, so as to attack his reputation and elevation.
James Gao.
Therefore, Fang Ming's current attitude of not blaming but praising made him stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to react.
"There are many clergy and believers here this time, so I will announce something in public. In view of Bishop Fu Tianyang's contribution to the Eastern Church over the years, I proposed to His Majesty the Pope, and finally His Majesty the Pope decided to award Bishop Fu Tianyang
The position of Archbishop of the Eastern Church is responsible for all management matters of the Eastern Church, and I will select a suitable time to conduct the ordination ceremony."
As soon as Fang Ming said this, everyone at the scene was stunned for a few seconds, as if they couldn't believe the news.
Believers in the Eastern Church actually know a little about the conflicts between the church and the Vatican. Over the years, Bishop Fu has not been able to legitimately become archbishop. Isn't it because of the obstruction from the Vatican?
That's why they were so shocked when they heard Fang Ming's words at this moment that they didn't even react for a moment.
The believers were shocked, and Fu Tianyang was even more shocked because he had thought about all the possibilities, but he had never thought of the current outcome. The Son of God who came from the Vatican actually wanted to make him an archbishop and consecrate him personally.
.
Consecration, this is a ceremony required when holding a position above the level of bishop in the church. With the consecration ceremony, it means that he, the archbishop, has been recognized by the Vatican, and he is truly the first person in the Eastern Church.
Now we can manage the church openly and with full authority.
But how is this possible?
The contradiction between the Eastern and Western churches is so great. How could the Vatican agree to grant him the title of archbishop and send the Son of God to personally consecrate him?
Fang Ming looked at Fu Tianyang, who was stunned on the spot, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Of course Fu Tianyang didn't know that the reason why the Vatican approved it was because of the deal between him and Pope Louis Vuitton.
It is almost impossible for the Western Church to control the Eastern Church. Louis Vuitton also knows this in his heart, but as Meng Ji said at the beginning, there is an irreconcilable conflict between the Pope and the Son of God.
Louis Vuitton does not want to delegate power, so Fang Ming is always a time bomb for him. As long as Fang Ming is in the West, some people in the church who have other thoughts will turn to Fang Ming.
It was easy to understand that Louis Vuitton had already reached the top. Except for his cronies and confidants, the clergy of other churches would not get much benefit from relying on Louis Vuitton.
But if these people choose to attach themselves to Fang Ming, then when Fang Ming succeeds to the position of pope, these people will have done the service of the dragon. When the time comes, they will be rewarded based on their merits, and there will definitely be generous rewards.
Just like in the ancient dynasties, many Hanlin bachelors would rather be bachelors of the East Palace without much oil, water and power. Why? Because when the Prince of the East Palace ascends the throne, they will rise through the ranks and become popular ministers in the court.
Louis Vuitton did not want to see Fang Ming, and Fang Ming was ready to return to the East, so the two reached an agreement that the Eastern Church would be handed over to Fang Ming from now on, and Fang Ming would not be allowed to enter the West unless there were special circumstances.
, unless it is some grand church festival that requires his presence as the Son of God.
This is a win-win deal for both parties. For Louis Vuitton, he has no control over the Eastern Church in the first place, so he is eager to use this to send Fang Ming away.
As for Fang Ming, he has never thought about controlling the Western Church. The reason is very simple. The hatred between the Eastern and Western cultivation circles is too deep. If he takes on the identity of the Son of God, he will face resistance from the entire cultivation community in China, and
It's not just a Mu family.
In other words, from now on, if the Eastern Church has any needs and needs the cooperation of the Vatican, the Vatican will agree to it.
Granting Fu Tianyang the position of Archbishop and consecrating him was actually not discussed between Fang Ming and Pope Louis Vuitton, but a temporary decision made by him at this moment. However, he believed that the Vatican would not stop it. As long as the news was reported,
They will also agree there.
"No...this is impossible. How could the Pope agree to the consecration? It is impossible for the Vatican to agree."
James is going crazy. If the Pope has such an edict, then why has he stayed here all these years?
If James is going crazy, then Zhao Yanxin is so regretful at this moment that his intestines are green. He deliberately designed this trap, isn't it because he is afraid that he and others will be seized from power? But now Lao Fu has become a legitimate archbishop, if he had known it earlier
, he also designed shit.
Zhao Yanxin regretted it, but he also knew in his heart that whether the old man was an archbishop or not, it had nothing to do with him. He designed the Son of God, which was unforgivable in the church, and there was no place for him in this church.
In fact, the Son of God bestowed upon Old Fu the position of archbishop, and Old Fu would definitely reciprocate the favor. How could he repay the favor? That would be to vent his anger on the Son of God.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan felt a little chill in his heart. He had embezzled a lot of money from the church over the years. If Lao Fu really wanted to investigate, he would definitely not be able to escape.
