The morning sun shone across the horizon, like a circle of golden light wheels, which illuminated the cold and dark winter night in the northeastern hemisphere of Ram.
After washing and carefully putting on makeup, Beatri was crawling on the ground and praying in the morning. As a member of the Sisters of the Black Flame Rose, her black red-edged armor was engraved with elegant and delicate patterns, and her helmet and her sword were kept at hand.
She was grateful to the Holy Flame that the Divine Emperor descended to give this dawn, and she could also feel the warm sunshine shining on her armor, bringing light and heat, as if the Lord of the Holy Flame was gently touching her with his own hands.
When she straightened her waist, her beautiful face and soft brown hair shrouded in the sun. Through the open flower windows, she saw the endless buildings in the distance, and the magnificent and magnificent examination of the cathedral, which was also the heart of the church.
It comes from the first arrival of angels, where the elect will be examined by the angels of light, and a very few lucky ones will be promoted, and they will also become one of the angels. The only regret is that only boys can participate in such a great and glorious ceremony, and only boys can accept strong, smart and intelligent men. Under the influence of this tradition, for a long time, there were only male priests in the cathedral, and women were not allowed to set foot in this holy land.
But all this has changed, or even fundamentally, with the rise of the Holy Flame Sect.
In the ancient upheaval (the home star of the Empire's Purge of the Crimson Sword), although the original state religion system of Ramdong did not disappear directly like the Mechanical Cult, it also suffered heavy damage. All foreign priests and bishops evacuated, and only some local priests chose to stick to their homeland. At the same time, due to the imperial punishment, the state religion here changed from orthodox to a radical atonement faction. However, the long-term isolation from the imperial state religion system led to their concept not further development, but instead made the local culprits become fragmented. Each "country" or region on the planet Ramdong has its own independent culprits, and the secular regime also uses religion as a means of competition.
This made Ramdon have a very common belief in the Divine Emperor, but there was no unified religious institution, and the influence of the state religion only remained in the classics. In fact, after so many generations, the concept of "National Church" has been very weakened, and the residents call their belief more the Divine Emperor Church.
Therefore, Weiletz fell in love with this world with a strong religious atmosphere but scattered structure at a glance, and established the Holy Flame Cult here.
As a former grand nun, Villets's religious theory knowledge was definitely solid, so with the assistance of some priests, he quickly drafted a "best good and most beautiful" sectarian ritual, also known as the Book of the Holy Fire.
Compared with the state religion, there are several core teachings—
Flame and sunshine represent the power of the God Emperor. Believers need to worship fire and be marked by the golden sun.
Astat is the practitioner of the emperor's will, with authority above everything else in the world
Women are also bathed in the light of the God Emperor. They are another side of the Angel of Death, representing the symbol of the God Emperor's kindness.
Except for the Emperor of God and Astarte, who was created by Him, believers, regardless of gender, family, rank, or rich, all souls are subject to the examination of the Emperor of God. Only Astarte, who is in the will of the Emperor of God, can serve mortals, and mortals cannot be enslaved by each other.
The Lord of the Holy Flame, Soshiyan Alexey, is the eternal champion of the throne. His words represent the sage oracle, and he is also the executor of the God Emperor in the world. His rule is supreme and cannot be violated. He is naturally the only authority of the Holy Flame Clan.
Although I don’t want to admit it, the original intention of Soshiyang to establish the Holy Flame Cult is to unify thoughts and stabilize the society. Even if he doesn’t like this, he must admit that it is useful. At least in the current environment, it is much easier than "enlightenment of the people". Moreover, the state religion is indeed deeply rooted. Not only the indigenous people, but also the immigrants are basically believers of the state religion. Forcibly weakening faith will only shake the foundation of society.
Between stability and "rationality", Soshiyan can only choose stability.
After completing the Book of the Holy Fire, the rest will naturally be "promotion".
Normally, this is the most difficult thing. After all, it is easy to create something, but it is not so easy to create something that someone can accept. Especially this kind of thing is faith. The Holy Flame Cult has established not only a new set of doctrines, but also a new Holy See or the sect center.
But all obstacles, driven by the invisible hand, are like fortresses piled up on the beach, vulnerable.
It is easy for people with a little mind to see something from this doctrine, so the choice left to them is to accept it faster.
In less than half a year, all local sects in Ramdong announced that they would accept the Book of the Holy Fire as the only meaning and carry out all religious rituals established by the Holy Fire Clan. The bishop-priest-deacon-deacon-sected ranks were naturally accepted. Villets then examined the Cathedral as the Holy Fire Clan's Holy Fire Clan and held the first Holy Fire Conference.
Soshiyan also attended the meeting. At the meeting, he personally honored Viletz as Saint Villet as Saint Villet, and confirmed her identity as the leader of the clan "Holy Mother".
Therefore, the Holy Flame Cult is also called the Holy Mother Cult in some places.
At this religious conference, Villets re-divided the planet diocese and appointed bishops of each diocese. In order to ensure the purity of the ecclesiastical organization, she established a system of ecclesiastical supervision. These people are called ecclesiastical envoys and claimed to be composed of women. In fact, they are all semi-mechanical assassins made of Ulanhuda using guram synthetics. Their duty is to monitor the situation in each dioccult, on the one hand, to prevent heresy, and on the other hand, to find out those priests who do not obey the precepts, corruption, and dereliction of duty.
In addition, Villets also emphasized that the sect will never tolerate attempts to hereditary power. Although the Holy Flame Clan does not have the doctrine of forcing chastity, all priests' DNA information will be collected and compared. If there is a kinship, they will never be allowed to serve in a diocese.
Although this greatly infringes upon the interests of the local sects, Soshiyan, who sat upright on the throne of the Fire, made them have to swear to abide by the doctrine in a submissive manner.
After all, the doctrine can be argued, but explosive bombs are unreasonable.
