Chapter 265: Convincing people with reason

Chapter 699: Convincing people with reason

"Um."

After listening to the priest's indignant speech, Melaldine raised her eyebrows and remained noncommittal.

Yes, such a large Holy Sun Church, with its thousands of years of development and changes, originally has many internal subdivisions!

Although they have no doubts about Master Lavoisier's instruction of "quick ceasefire", they do have big differences these days about what attitude they should use to implement negotiations, such as "coercion and inducement" or "follow-up and inducement"!

For example, Presiding Judge Melaldine, the head of the Inquisition and the second-largest figure in the church, and Bishop Tucqueville, who had a close relationship with Fan Ning at the time, were out-and-out militants!

As for Cardinal Mill and Bishop Christopher of the Northern Continent, as well as the old Bishop Sessler who preached in the Southern Continent during his lifetime and was "impersonated" as a disciple by Fan Ning to package "Lavoisier", these are all considered moderates.

The distinction between "soft and hard" external relations is one aspect, and there are also differences in terms of personal code of conduct.

For example, Pope James XIX and all the previous popes advocated asceticism and asceticism. Only such ascetic monks can convince the public by sitting in the pope's position.

But the lay factions are also influential. Cardinal Richelieu of the Western Continent is a typical representative. There are also people like Bishop Walter who have families. They also have religious memberships and honorary positions in the church, and also in the art and cultural circles outside.

A prominent position can bring fame and resources to the church.

If it reaches a certain scale and occupies the mainstream of a sect, the concepts it advocates must be more or less based on the doctrinal classics. In the sermons and words and deeds of the enlightenment practitioners of the past generations, there are also expressions of appreciation, approval or understanding.

If there is no sufficient basis in the existing scriptures, it is not a legal "sect" but a "heresy", just like the "Disenchantment Sect" and "Snake Sect" in ancient times.

At present, these priests and officers were all intensely discussing the issue of ceasefire negotiations with Lydia due to the topic triggered by the boundary monument under Fan Ning's finger.

It just so happens that this is a hot topic of concern to the people of both countries recently.

In the long line of followers, many people gathered around him.

"Hello, what is the current level of the dialogue between Janus and Lydia regarding the ceasefire agreement? Is it more dominated by the church or the military?"

A war correspondent from Lydia spoke official Lange with a smooth accent.

For war reporters, the safety factor of current interviews is probably much higher than that of shuttling through the intense battlefields under heavy artillery fire.

"Can you tell me whether there is still room for negotiation on the territorial recognition of the Apail area, rather than all being recognized as belonging to Janus?"

"Yesterday, the Lingyin Discipline Association made an official statement, saying that the ceasefire needs to be carried out gradually in accordance with the principle of 'prioritization, easy first, then difficult'. The issue of 'quick retreat' is difficult to meet reality. What is our church's response to this view?"

More media reporters from various countries asked questions.

These people came all the way to pursue first-hand information about performances and sermons. At this moment, the situation was hot and the equipment was complete, so all kinds of lights, guns and cannons were aimed at Fan Ning.

For a moment, the sound of shutters was heard one after another, and it was like a special press conference held in the wilderness.

"That day I spoke to them about the proverbs from the Scriptures, which say, 'Oil and spices make the heart happy, and the honest counsel of a friend is so sweet.' But woe to those who do not believe in counsel."

Fan Ning's eyes first wandered to the other side and into the distance.

He saw several small boats that were inconspicuous in the dark night, carrying several priests rowing towards his own shore.

Obviously within expectations.

With so many people and such a big movement, the reconnaissance army on the Lydia side didn't notice it, but this time they obviously learned a lesson and directly reported it to the Lingyin Discipline Society to come forward.

Fan Ning walked slowly along the shore and sighed: "The ungodly Lydians are filled with anger and God is binding them, but they don't ask for help."

“I first rescued the needy through their troubles, opening their ears and leading them out of their trouble into a place that is broad and not narrow. So that his table will be filled with fatness. But they are full of deceit. words, and turned aside because of the great ransom.”

"Will his cry, his wealth, or all his power be effective and save him from trouble?"

Crash la la la——

During this process, the priests on the opposite side stopped the boat and landed. The first person to get off the boat was Pastor Lagun and a more powerful elder who accompanied him.

As soon as these pastors came down and met each other, they felt something was wrong!

They have dealt with the group of priests across the river a lot. What is the strength of the opponents at the same level in daily life, what methods and trump cards do they have? Between the intermediate pastors and deacons, between senior pastors and priests, between elders and bishops, there are all kinds of conflicts. They know a little bit about each other.

Now that we are face to face, our first spiritual intuition actually creates a sense of gap that is far greater than before!

Check out the correct version one by one!

The purpose of their coming to negotiate is naturally to prepare for bargaining.

Now, I can't say a word of what I was brewing, I just stand there stunned.

Reverend Lagon found it unbelievable why Bishop Walter, who had just been promoted to the first level of the Dawn, already felt no weaker than himself; and the presiding judge Melaldine gave people an even more terrifying aura, and his white color The body under the robe seems to turn into a ball of flames that will consume all things at any time!

Not to mention the current Saint Lavoisier, who doesn’t show any edge at all and seems to be just good at persuading others with the method of “reasoning”!

"Go over to the northern continent and see, and from there go to Pozzodanico, and go up to the Metrauns' Egos, and to the Hoffmann's Fort Santaram, and see which countries are stronger than yours. Is the realm wider than yours?"

"You think that the day of disaster is still far off, and you commit violence while sitting on your throne. You lie down on your ivory bed, you relax on your couch, you eat the lambs of the flock and the calves of the stalls. You play the lyre, the harp, the harp, and sing leisurely songs.

He drinks wine from a large bowl and anoints himself with the finest oil. But he does not worry about the suffering of the people on earth.”

“These will be the first among the captives to be led into captivity, and the pleasures of revelry will be wiped out from those who enjoy themselves.”

“Then St. Sebastian came to your land, not really to visit, but to the land of ancient Janus, saying, Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be

, they will also be released in heaven.”

"Don't you pay attention to His words? Don't you think about them in your hearts?" Fan Ning's expression showed a hint of sadness.

"If you don't understand the meaning of the scriptures, the teachers of the church also know some straightforward teaching methods. I tell you the truth, if even one of the deceitful monuments erected on this river bank is not clear, you will never be able to see the winter solstice.

At that time. If your saint comes to meet our saint, the result will still be the same. If the king who is in charge of the discussion group is invited to make a decision, the result will still be the same."
