- "Asshole! Shameless! Despicable, dirty, filthy bastard, I'm really pissed off!"
That night, Archbishop Farrell, who was hiding in a believer¡¯s home in a working-class community in Manhattan, received a letter.
After he read the letter, the expression on the archbishop's face became distorted, and his face turned livid. Even the devout believer on the side could clearly see that the bishop's hand holding the letter was slightly shaking. trembling.
¡°I don¡¯t know what happened to the bishop, but a letter can make him like this.
"The poor devout believer did not dare to ask more questions at this time. When he was in Europe, the power of the church masters was vividly remembered by him.
Falunor waved his hand and asked the devout believer to retreat.
He read the letter handed to him again.
Phew!
After taking a deep breath to calm down his heart, Archbishop Farrell folded the letter and put it into his arms.
America is indeed a terrible place. The lambs have changed a lot since arriving here.
Their faith in the Lord is no longer firm, and they have even begun to have doubts.
All of this is unimaginable and impossible in Europe.
If anyone in Europe dares to doubt the Lord, such a person will be burned to death or stoned to death.
But in America, people can express their opinions freely. Even those European immigrants who had been oppressed and squeezed by the church would tell their stories about their experiences in Europe.
Such topics can always resonate with many people.
Yes, who hasn¡¯t had such an experience when we were in Europe?
Even people living in rural areas must be respectful to those in the village and pay filial piety from time to time.
"Otherwise, if the priest says you are possessed by a demon or a witch puppet, you will be in trouble." There were even some nobles and powerful landowners. They will also collude with the church's priests and pastors to get rid of the owners of the land they like using some excuses.
Father Farrenore himself had done something like this, so there was nothing surprising about it.
Even when many priests see beautiful girls in their area, they will use various means to lure those girls to achieve their goals.
Once the girls refuse, the priests or priests will become angry and use the excuse that the other party is a witch. They were captured and imprisoned and tortured in the dungeon of the local tribunal.
Often the fate of those girls will not be very good.
¡°But that¡¯s in Europe, and no one will say anything if they do this.
The ignorant people will even support this, so the church can do whatever they want. Falunor even felt that they were really heaven, the incarnation of God!
But after arriving in America, they discovered that they were still mortals and not the incarnation of gods at all. It is impossible for them to represent gods walking in the world, and the people of the Song Empire do not want to see them at all.
Even after two major cleanings. God did not appear to punish him.
For all this, Falunoer actually knows it in his heart. What god. What servants of God, who spread the gospel in the world on behalf of gods, are nothing more than means and excuses they use to make money and deceive the world.
When he himself transformed from a young and ignorant youth into a high-level archbishop of the church, they already knew many of the church's secrets.
And after knowing these secrets, he no longer believes in anything.
All the truth is very helpless, but what can he do.
As someone who has entered the circle of interests. He has to protect the interests of this circle.
What¡¯s more, he is already at the top of this interest circle.
So, even if he knows some truth and inside story. But I can only pretend to be very pious every day, and then be brainwashed by myself every day to make myself believe that there is a real Lord in this world.
However, with the emergence of Jie Jiao, he found that all this was finally broken.
Jie Jiao even knows more things than they know and still believe.
"The other party proved the existence of God, but also proved that the Lord he believed in was nota member of that group at all, but a created virtual idol.
When?, Farenor also knows something about these.
As the cardinal archbishop of the church, he will always have access to some high-level secrets.
And because he failed in the high-level power struggle of the church, he was sent to America.
Originally, in his opinion, America was still a barren land of faith, and he could definitely show off his talents.
However, what he never expected was that the people here were very repulsive to them.
Even the Song Empire here doesn¡¯t have a good impression of them.
He knows his own affairs, so why others have such an attitude, Falunoer can understand after a little thought.
But what if you understand?
He can¡¯t change anything, can he?
When he came to America, the second great purge had already passed.
The church sent him not only because he failed in the power struggle at the top, but also because not many cardinals at the top were willing to come.
After all, this place has experienced two major purges of the church, and it is a terrifying place for the church¡¯s senior leaders.
They live a comfortable life in Europe and enjoy a lot of power. Why do they come to this horrible place? Even if you are not careful, your life will be lost.
Finally, Falunor was dispatched.
To be honest, Falunor has a good sense of America.
The cities here are very dynamic, clean and tidy, and people¡¯s faces are filled with happy smiles, which you cannot see in Europe.
At the same time, there is a lot of wealth here, and the people are very rich.
This aspect is also very attractive to Falunoer.
However, because of the two great purges, the church power could not take hold here at all.
Therefore, even though he could feel the wealth here, he could only stare in greed.
Originally I thought I would take everything slowly. When he establishes a foothold here in the future, he will definitely be able to establish a branch here that is richer than the European church.
By that time, Falunor would feel proud.
??Even, he can learn Protestantism and create a split or something.
When the time comes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and those people in the church won¡¯t be able to do anything about it, right?
But the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.
God knows why, at this moment, a Jiejiao suddenly appeared!
And. The Song Empire could still tolerate Jiejiao taking to the streets to spread their beliefs, and at the same time, they could organize gatherings on a large scale!
The Song Empire¡¯s treatment of Jie Jiao was completely different from how it treated them, which made Falunor quite envious and jealous.
But he didn¡¯t dare to cause trouble with the Jie Church. After all, the church was still under severe attack from the Song Empire.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out to teach them to develop, but they still do it secretly, and don't want to provoke each other.
But unexpectedly, it caused another trouble.
A guy named Bill actually wrote a letter to himself. This letter didn't say much. But the content made Farenor so angry that his face and liver trembled
? In this letter from Bill to Farrenore, he started by asking for money.
Then. He also pointed out the identities of Farrenore and others, and directly said that if the money was not given. Then he will expose their identities. The Song Empire must be willing to spend a lot of money to buy this news.
¡°Subsequently, the letter also listed the names and addresses of Farrenore and others This made the archbishop angry and frightened at the same time.
Bill¡¯s threat is still very threatening to the bishop.
After all, in the Song Empire, they are the targets of the empire's severe crackdowns.
You can imagine if you don¡¯t agree to Bill¡¯s request.
So, a guy like Bill. I will definitely sell them all for money.
And the Song Empire will definitely give them a large sum of money.
As the saying goes, money moves people's hearts, and the bishop is very aware of the magic power of money.
He doesn¡¯t dare to take risks!
??Especially risking your own life.
¡°However, Archbishop Farenor was also a little unwilling.
Because what is Bill? He's just a little gangster.
This guy just came hereWhen he was in America, he was just an ordinary person. There is nothing special in the labor community. If it had not been for their support, Bill would still be working as a manure digger or a dock laborer.
If it were in Europe, Bill would not dare to do such a thing even if he had some courage.
However, now Bill has actually threatened himself to ask for money. He completely ignored the help he had received before and was so eager to repay kindness with hatred.
¡°Moreover, this is too disrespectful of the people of the church.
Thinking of all this, Farenor felt very tight in his chest.
However, the bishop cannot but pay attention to Bill's threat.
Because he knows the nature of these scum very well. Once his demands are not met by him, he will definitely do the things mentioned in the letter.
Therefore, the bishop could not help but curse in a low voice again.
But curses are curses, and the problems that need to be solved still need to be solved.
If the other party wants money, then you can just give it here.
It¡¯s just that what Falunor is worried about is that this is just the beginning. If the other party is satisfied now, what will happen if the other party gets worse?
By that time, it will become a bottomless pit that cannot be filled.
Therefore, he needs to discuss this matter with his companions.
He walked out of the room, found the devout believer who had taken him in, and asked him to gather the other members to discuss the matter immediately. (To be continued.
