Chapter 900 Friends in the closet
Chapter 901 "Reconciliation as before"
On June 28, 1914, with the sound of a gunshot in Sarajevo, Archduke Ferdinand, the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, fell in a pool of blood. It was this incident that became the trigger for the First World War.
June 28 is the day when the allied forces of Serbia and Bosnia were defeated by the Turkish army in 1389. It is Serbia’s national humiliation day. It is provocative that the Austro-Hungarian Empire chose this day for the exercise.
In the face of such provocation, if we still choose to swallow our 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 Sarajevo.
Likewise, if John Paul II had been assassinated on May 13, 1981, it would have likely been an all-out war between the Christian Union and the Communist Party.
The new crusade led by the pope passed by mankind, all because the old man lying in bed chose to forgive the assassin who killed him.
Although that bullet only missed by a few millimeters, the entire human history was rewritten because of it, just like the arrow that hit the coach Abdel Rahman in the Battle of Poitiers, it only missed by a few millimeters.
For the slightest bit, the Battle of Poitiers was an unknown quantity.
Without the meritorious service of resisting the pagans, Charles the Hammer would not have established the prestige of the Merovingian king as the palace minister, and then raised his ambition to replace him. There would also be no three generations of their ancestors and grandchildren to steal the legitimate coronation crown.
power, and created the system of divine right of kings.
The turning point in 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 even if there are no opportunities. Even though the Pope is no longer as responsive as he was in the Middle Ages, he still has great influence.
With all kinds of people around him, he may not have time to see an exorcist priest.
Even if Joseph is from a certain perspective, he is a celebrity in the Vatican.
Because he is often sick, the Pope has a private room on the 10th floor of the Gemelli Hospital. It usually takes 25 minutes to drive from the place where he was assassinated to the Gemelli Hospital. As a result, the ambulance arrived in 8 minutes that day. Human potential still needs to be pushed to the limit.
It will explode all at once.
But that is for healthy people. An old man like the Pope who is exhausted and forced to go to see God has no choice but to force him again.
After incising the trachea, the Pope could no longer swallow and had to eat with an indwelling tube in his stomach.
If he had been placed hundreds of years ago, in an era when science and medicine were underdeveloped, he would have died long ago, and this price was gained by scientists and doctors breaking through one theological taboo after another.
When Joseph and "Papa" looked at each other, he found that the Pope's face was too pale, with almost no blood.
Is it really the Pope himself who the doctor saved 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. Testing whether your heart is still towards the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." Joseph stood in front of the four-poster bed and said, "I heard that you carry the Black Madonna with you.
?”
"Where are you from? Child."
"The United States, but I am Latino. After my parents died, I grew up in a church orphanage. I have been trained in exorcism since I was a child."
"I thought exorcists needed high priests."
"Those old priests? Do you know how powerful those possessed people are?" Joseph said with a smile, "What's more, they are slow to react, and they are also people easily influenced by the devil. Nixon once said, when the Soviets started
Singing American songs, sooner or later they will also use American thinking patterns, thinking about Corrado Baducci who once said, "There must be something between us and the angels. If we think that we are the only intelligence created by God,
In terms of life, it is a bit arrogant and 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 strong is your faith? Many people say that they are very religious, but few of them can persevere when faced with a real test. There is a big gap between what we think and reality, and this is the purpose of my visit."
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 is replaced by Mammon. You repent to the Jews and Greeks. Next, are you going to let the Protestants return to the light of God?"
The Pope said nothing.
Joseph smiled with his hands behind his back, "When Satan led the demons to confront God's army, Mammon felt that it would be better to do nothing and enjoy the happiness brought by money in peace, so he did not lead the war, but in peacetime he urged
How did you feel during the European Constituent Assembly when people were fighting each other for small gains?"
The Pope did not answer him.
"I find it very tiring to deal with such people. They are controlled by Mammon and have become slaves of the devil. They just want more wealth, even if they don't need so much at all. This is especially true for Protestants. They want to maintain peace.
The purpose is to gain money. Once the war can bring greater benefits, they will not hesitate to cause a war. Not only will they not give shelter to those refugees who fled because of war and poverty, they will even not give shelter to Christians who also wear crosses.
They should also be driven out of their residences, which stems from their greed for wealth. I once saw a football player. He was once very degenerate and wasted for a period of time. Later, he watched his old video tapes and he felt sorry for himself.
He was shocked by his performance. Looking at his former energetic appearance, he suddenly understood that his current achievements were due to the basic training that he looked down upon. His confession gave me inspiration." Josephton.
After a pause, he twirled his ring, "I want to go back to before the Reformation, use the seven sacraments to offset the seven deadly sins, and allow Calvinists and Lutherans to restore the sacraments other than baptism and the Eucharist.
There are many popes who want to unify, and I think I can help you achieve this goal. Although baptism cannot wash away people's original sin, and the Holy Communion will not make them truly grateful, not to mention that some people only receive baptism once in their lives. If
Without a priest, a relative can do the baptism on his behalf. For them, it is just a formality, a formality, but we can at least unify it formally."
"What about their hearts?" the Pope asked.
"Mamon likes to accumulate wealth. He led the demons to unearth gold and various precious metals in the mountains of hell, and then used these things to decorate the 'Temple of Demons.' During the Renaissance, we used wealth to build churches and hold masses there.
, sheltering poor and needy people. The tallest, majestic and magnificent buildings in these cities are still driving tourism and attracting people. This is different from the apartments in the 'Magic City' that were built but no one can live in without money.
It’s different. When pilgrims come to Jerusalem from thousands of miles away, but are blocked by the soldiers guarding the city gate with the city gate, they feel the same as those who look at the house but have no money to buy it. They want to use it.
Money buys 'legitimate rights and interests'. If you don't pay, even if the repaired houses are dilapidated and moldy, they will not be given to those in need. In fact, what people do to people is no different from the devil. This is why we need to repent, and
Good sacraments are also part of God's plan of salvation, as you did, by forgiving the assassin with wisdom and kindness, and putting an end to this conflict."
"I thought you were here to test the strength of my faith," 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. The devil does exist. You feel it now."
Is it there?"
"I have the Holy Mother."
"Who does she look like? Your mother, or that woman."
The Pope stared at him expressionlessly.
"You are angry." Joseph said frivolously, "Why? Is it because I said something to you?"
"We are just friends." The Pope said in a hoarse voice, which was really not easy for a man who had a tracheotomy.
"Men and women can be friends, just like you and Mother Teresa, but friends who are good enough to a certain extent must have problems..."
"Enough!" the Pope said impatiently.
"Satan." Joseph said, "When I asked for the devil's name, they would give many false names. Devils are all good at lying. Are you still going to deceive yourself? Doing so will become the entrance for the devil to invade your heart, not to mention she is also a capable person.
Husband’s wife.”
"Get out!" the pope said impatiently.
"Stay alert, Pope, you are vulnerable now. Don't forget how you escaped after being assassinated last time." Joseph said, "I hope you can bring another miracle."
After speaking, Joseph bowed to the Pope on the bed, like a star taking a final call, then turned and left.
From beginning to end, he never kissed the fisherman's ring like others.
After the old pope dies, his fisherman's ring must be broken by the cardinal, director of the Holy See's Finance Bureau, in front of the Cardinals. Then after the new pope is elected, there are special rooms and craftsmen in the Vatican Palace to prepare it.
This process will be completed quickly, about 30 minutes, and after the new pope has finished changing his clothes, he can put it 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 the red-bearded Frederick. He happened to swallow a fly that fell into the water while drinking water. This happened.
A little fly got into his throat and never came out, and the Pope just lost his breath.
And Redbeard's death was not necessarily a happy one. When he was crossing the river in full armor, he accidentally fell off his horse and sank directly to the bottom.
It’s not people who laugh in the end, only fate.
How does it feel when you stand on the balcony and wave, and there are people standing below who are looking up at you and cheering?
Today, 521, I saw a soft article with a sense of ritual again
The sense of ritual that women understand is the little sweetness that satisfies their hearts
A man's sense of ritual is to sacrifice to heaven, wear a yellow robe, this huge ambition
So men don’t pay attention to women’s sense of ritual
