Chapter 901
On June 28, 1914, with a gunshot in Sarajevo, Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, fell in a pool of blood. And it was this incident that became the fuse of the First World War.
June 28th is the day when the combined forces of Serbia and Bosnia were defeated by the Turkish army in 1389. It is a national humiliation day for Serbia. The date chosen for the Austro-Hungarian maneuvers was provocative.
Faced with such provocations, if they still choose to swallow their anger, what hope does this nation have?
Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, personally reviewed the exercise. After the exercise, Archduke Ferdinand was shot and killed by Serbian youth Princip when he returned to downtown Sarajevo.
Likewise, if John Paul II had been assassinated on May 13, 1981, it would have been an all-out war between the Christian Coalition and Christianity.
A new round of Crusades led by the Pope missed humanity, all because the old man lying on the bed chose to forgive the assassin who assassinated him.
Although that bullet only missed a few millimeters, the entire human history was rewritten because of it. Just like the arrow that hit the coach Abdul Rahman in the Battle of Poitiers, as long as it missed so much The Battle of Poitiers was, by the slightest, an unknown.
Without the feats of resisting the heretics, Charlie the Hammer would not have established the prestige of the Merovingian king as the palace minister, and then aroused his ambition to replace him, and there would be no three generations of their grandparents to steal the legal coronation crown The power of the monarchy has been created by the god-given system of monarchy.
The turning point of history is often a trivial matter, but no one thought about it carefully at the time.
Opportunities need to be seized by oneself, and opportunities must be created if there are no opportunities. Even though the current Pope is not as responsive as in the Middle Ages, he still has great influence.
With all kinds of people around him, he doesn't necessarily have time to meet an exorcist priest.
Even though Joseph is, from a certain point of view, a celebrity in the Vatican.
Because of frequent illnesses, the Pope has a single room on the 10th floor of Jemely Hospital. It usually takes 25 minutes to drive from the place where he was assassinated to Jemely Hospital. As a result, the ambulance arrived in 8 minutes that day. The human potential is still to be forced. It will explode in an instant.
But that is for healthy people, and an old man like the pope, who is exhausted, forces him to go to God again.
After the tracheotomy, the Pope could no longer swallow and had to leave an indwelling tube in his stomach to eat.
If it were hundreds of years ago, when science and medical treatment were underdeveloped, he would have died long ago, and this price was paid by scientists and doctors who broke through one after another theological taboos.
When Joseph and "Papa" looked at each other, he found that the Pope's face was too pale, almost bloodless.
Was it really the Pope himself that the doctor rescued from death?
"I thought there were no guests today." The Pope said in a hoarse voice.
"I am not a guest. You can understand that I am another kind of doctor. Test whether your heart is still facing the Father, Son and Holy Spirit." Joseph said standing in front of the four-poster bed. "I heard that you carry a black Madonna with you." ?”
"Where are you from? Son."
"America, but I am Latino. After my parents died, I grew up in the orphanage of the church. I have been trained in exorcism since I was a child."
"I thought the exorcist needed a high priest."
"Those old priests? Do you know how powerful those possessed people are?" Joseph said with a smile, "What's more, they are unresponsive, and they are also people who are easily influenced by demons. Nixon once said that when the Soviets began to Singing the American song, sooner or later they will also use the American thinking mode, thinking that Corrado Baducci once said 'There must be something between us and the angels, if we think that we are the only intelligence created by God Life is a bit arrogant, it’s illogical’. If you listen to the devil’s whispers too much, you will sing like the devil. Gradually, people will think with the devil’s thinking. I have asked many people, in the face of the devil’s temptation How firm is your belief? Many people say that they are very pious, but few people can persevere in the face of the test. There is a big gap between what we think and the reality, and this is the purpose of my coming.”
The Pope didn't answer him. He didn't know whether he was resting or thinking about how to answer.
"In English, greed is called Greed, but in biblical literature it has been replaced by Mammon. You confessed to the Jews and the Greeks. Are you going to let the Protestants return to the glory of God?"
The Pope did not speak.
Joseph smiled with his hands behind his back, "When Satan led the demons to confront the army of God, Mamun felt that it would be better to do nothing and enjoy the happiness brought by money in peace, so he didn't take the initiative to fight, but in peacetime it urged How did you feel at the EU Constituent Assembly when people were fighting each other for petty gains?"
The Pope did not answer him.
"I find it tiring to deal with this kind of people. They are controlled by Mamon and become slaves of the devil. They just want more wealth, even if they don't need that much at all. This is especially true for Protestants. They maintain peace. The purpose is to get money. Once the war can bring greater benefits, they will not hesitate to cause the war. Not only will they not give refuge to those refugees who fled because of war and poverty, even Christians who also wear the cross Also kick them out of their residences, which stems from their greed for wealth. I saw a football player. He used to be very depraved and deserted for a while. Then he watched his old videos and he was proud of his He was shocked by his performance. He looked at his previous vigorous appearance, and suddenly realized that his current achievements are due to the basic training that he despises, and his confession inspired me.” Josephton After a pause, I turned my ring, "I want to go back to before the Reformation, use the seven sacraments to offset the sins of the seven deadly sins, let the Calvinists and Lutherans restore the sacraments other than baptism and communion, There are many popes who want to unify, and I think I can help you accomplish this. Although baptism cannot wash away people's original sin, the Holy Communion will not make them really grateful, not to mention that some people only receive baptism once in their life. If Without priests, a relative can also perform baptism on behalf of them, for them it is just a formality, a formality, but we can at least unify the formalities first.”
"What about their hearts?" asked the Pope.
"Mamon likes to accumulate wealth, and led all the demons to unearth gold and various precious metals in the belly of hell, and then used these things to decorate the 'Pandemonium'. During the Renaissance, we used wealth to build churches and hold mass in it. , to accommodate the poor and those in need. The tallest, majestic and magnificent buildings in these cities are still driving tourism and attracting people to go there. It’s not the same. When pilgrims came to Jerusalem from thousands of miles away, but they were blocked by soldiers guarding the city with entry tax, they felt the same as those who saw houses but had no money to buy them. Money buys 'legal rights'. If you don't pay, even if the repaired houses are dilapidated and moldy, they won't be given to those who need them. In fact, what people do to people is no different from the devil. It is this that requires repentance, and Good sacraments are also part of God's plan of salvation, just like you did, forgive the assassin with wisdom and kindness, and resolve this dispute invisible."
"I thought you were here to test how strong my faith is," the pope said.
"Your problem is not wealth, Papa, your problem is women." Joseph looked at the sheets as white as angel feathers and said with a smile, "If you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't have this problem. Devils do exist, and you feel it now it?"
"I have Our Lady."
"Who does she look like? Your mother, or that woman."
The Pope stared at him blankly.
"You're angry." Joseph said frivolously, "Why? Because I said it?"
"We're just friends," the pope said in a hoarse voice, not easy for a man with a tracheostomy.
"Men and women can be friends, just like you and Mother Teresa, but friends who are good enough to a certain level must have problems..."
"Enough!" said the Pope impatiently.
"Satan." Joseph said, "When I ask for the names of demons, they will say a lot of false names. Devils are good at lying. Are you going to deceive yourself? Doing so will become the entrance for the devil to enter your heart, not to mention that she is still a powerful person." Husband's wife."
"Get out!" said the Pope impatiently.
"Stay alert, Pope, you are vulnerable now, don't forget how you escaped after being assassinated last time." Joseph said, "I look forward to another miracle from you."
After finishing speaking, Joseph bowed towards the Pope on the bed, like a star at the curtain call, then turned and left.
From the beginning to the end, he did not kiss the fisherman's ring like everyone else.
After the death of the old pope, his fisherman's ring will be smashed by the head of the Holy See Finance Bureau in front of the cardinals of the Cardinal Council. Then after the new pope is elected, there are special rooms and craftsmen in the Vatican Palace to prepare.
This process will be completed very quickly, about 30 minutes, after the new pope finishes changing his clothes, he can put them on before his first public meeting.
In the history of Christianity, there was once a British Pope Adrian IV. The secular king he had to face was Frederick the Red Beard. He accidentally swallowed a fly that fell into the water while drinking water. This little fly got into his throat and couldn't come out again, His Excellency just passed away like this.
And the red beard's death is not necessarily so good. When he was crossing the river in full armor, he accidentally fell off his horse and sank directly to the bottom.
It is not man who laughs last, only fate.
How does it feel when standing on the balcony and waving, and all the people standing below are looking up at you and cheering?
Today on 521, I saw a sense of ceremony in the soft text again
The sense of ritual that women understand is the kind of little sweetness that satisfies their hearts
A man's sense of ritual is worshiping heaven and wearing a yellow robe, this kind of huge ambition
So men don't care about women's sense of ritual
