Chapter 403: Unity is Strength
The ancient city still maintains its original appearance, with tall churches towering into the clouds, the streets are still old-fashioned stone roads, and the quaint walls are full of carved patterns and painted murals. Looking around, waves of sacredness and solemnity are coming to the face.
This is the Vatican, the country in the country, the city of the prophets, and the holy land of the 3 billion Christian believers around the world. It is also the largest branch of Christianity and the headquarters of the Catholic Church.
Behind St. Peter's Basilica, in the Cardinal Hall, under the huge ornate dome mural, a group of people are sitting around a huge table.
Sitting on the seat was a gorgeous white robe with dense golden patterns, wearing a small round hat with a top on his head, a white-haired old man, the current Catholic Pope, Catholic religious leader, spiritual leader, nominally closest to God, under the crown of all the crowns,
Sitting around were four old men wearing gorgeous red robes and small round hats, four cardinals who were stationed in the Vatican and powerful figures who were enough to guard the religious affairs of a country.
Only five of them were sitting, while the rest were young black robed priests and priests standing, some standing at the door, some standing in the corner, and some standing directly behind the big men.
Although these people gather together on weekdays, today their faces are particularly solemn and unconcealed.
The most supreme Pope stretched out his right hand and looked at the little holy white light emitted from it. His expression was fascinated and complicated, and he murmured: "I never thought... I never thought that we would still be able to gain God's favor and His favor in our lifetime... This is really..."
"Yes." A cardinal next to him also sighed with emotion: "So many years of persistence, so many years of piety, generation after generation, the impact of science, the slander of atheists... finally let us wait for this day!"
A cardinal opposite him was not as emotional as the two of them. He put on a pair of glasses, turned on a report in his hand, and said calmly: "Things are better than we imagined! The latest statistics show that there are more than 3,500 priests in various branches of the world who have received favor from God! Among them, the specific data of the Orthodox Church and the English Puritan Church have not been completed. According to conservative estimates, the total number has approached 5,000..."
"I'm really sure there is not one of those big bearded pagans?" Pope Crown asked after hearing his report.
"At present, there is no one!" The cardinal wearing glasses smiled: "No matter which group of great food, Judaism, or other Hinduism, Buddhism, or other small religions, they are truly favored by God! We have sent people to determine some suspected targets, and they are all typical scams!"
He firmly confirmed: "It is basically confirmed that the only one who is favored by the Lord is our Christian religion! Those branches of our Christian religion!"
"Sure enough, only the one we believe in is the only true God! The omnipotent Lord!" A cardinal immediately shouted excitedly.
"Well!" The Pope nodded, with a smile on his face: "Although things are not perfect, this is already very good. After all, God is tolerant, not only forgiving us, but also forgave those traitors."
"Now, I think the most important thing is to take this opportunity to vigorously develop our power!" A cardinal determined: "Facts have proved that God truly exists, and he is the one we have dedicated for thousands of years! The others are false beliefs! They are false gods! They are liars! We have to snatch those poor believers back from these false believers!"
"Yes, I have heard God's whispers. Although it is not clear, I can really know that He wants us to give more piety! More faith!" Another cardinal looked fanatical: "We must let more people believe in him! More people become more pious!"
"We have all felt that it is certainly necessary to take advantage of the situation to develop believers and expand faith." The cardinal wearing glasses was still rational and calm in his voice: "But the most urgent task now is to solve the shackles of the world!"
He hooked his fingers and immediately, a young priest standing behind him handed him a report.
Opening the report, he continued: "God's favor has attracted the attention of secular forces. As far as the information we have obtained, several godly followers have been kidnapped by the government and other forces! After we mobilized various forces, they have restrained themselves to a certain extent, while the other guys are much more difficult to deal with, especially those pagans, who have even burned a godly followers to death!"
"The government just covets the power of God, but it's good to deal with some. Those pagans who are already desperate will be harder to deal with..." A cardinal expressed concern: "After all, what God has given us is only the power of life, we..."
"It's enough! We need more friends!" Another stronger cardinal said: "We cannot pray for anything God has given, but we can use the power we are now to absorb more believers, more powerful believers, and send those pagans to hell!"
"No! No! No! Your idea is still too radical!" The Pope's crown vetoed his proposal: "You are causing war like this! God loves the world! He will definitely not want us to do this! Do you want to lose His favor again?"
"I think we must first protect those gods!" The cardinal wearing glasses suggested: "Although we don't know how many people God will favor, those gods will be our sharpest weapons now! We must unite them, protect them, and use them to defeat those powerful enemies! Spread God's faith all over the world!"
"What are you going to do?" asked a cardinal.
"It's very simple. We must temporarily put aside all kinds of arguments, slander, hatred, and unite!" The cardinal wearing glasses said seriously: "We have combined, and now we have more than three billion believers! As long as we are united, our strength will be unparalleled! Whether it is the government or the pagans, under the favor of God, no one will defeat us!"
His voice was very excited, but the hall became quiet.
The entire Christianity has now been divided into countless branches, and there are many people who are deeply enemies of each other. How easy is it to integrate all the sects?
