The new church is a typical Baroque building, designed and built under the supervision of Deng Yuhan himself.
The entire church covers an area of more than twenty square miles, and it also has many other functional buildings.
The most eye-catching thing is that the church towers into the clouds and is majestic and majestic. It makes people awe-inspiring at first sight.
From Zuo Mengeng's perspective, the size of this church even far exceeds the world-famous Cologne Cathedral.
There are twelve towering pillars in total.
At the top of each root is a huge statue of a human being.
This represents the Twelve Apostles.
In the middle, guarded by the Twelve Apostles, is an extremely huge cross.
This cross is entirely made of steel and weighs more than fifteen tons. It is also painted a solemn deep black, making the statue of Jesus on it even more compassionate.
At the main entrance of the church, all the Catholics led by Xu Ruolin gathered to pray, with happy and glorious smiles on their faces.
This moment is definitely the most glorious scene for Catholics in the Eastern world.
They have gone through hardships and endured countless setbacks, and only at this moment have they established a firm foothold on the land of the East. They have made breakthroughs and embraced an infinitely better future.
Although for this day, Catholic teachings have been tampered with a lot, even some are beyond recognition.
But what's important?
If the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain.
As long as the gospel of God can be spread to the world, it is enough.
Although these people are no longer recognized by the Holy See and are even declared traitors, they are no longer rootless drifters from now on.
Zuo Mengeng once said something that made their hearts beat with excitement and set them a lifelong goal.
The Romans once killed Jesus, but in the end God's will stood firm on the soil of Rome. As long as they always uphold their pious beliefs, it is not a bad idea to return to Rome and preside over the doctrine.
Can this ideal be realized?
In the past, everyone would have been very doubtful. But now, after feeling the power of Xia Kingdom more deeply, they all firmly believe that the door of Rome will definitely open to them.
After the dedication ceremony was over, everyone gathered around Zuo Mengeng and walked into the interior of the church.
"In the past, I always felt that everything outside of China was barbarian, but when I saw it today, I was waiting to sit in a well and look at the sky."
Qian Qianyi, Chen Hongshou and others, as representatives of Chinese culture and art, experienced the essence of European religious culture firsthand, and their thoughts were greatly shocked.
It can be said that the appearance of this church completely shattered their arrogance of claiming to be a heavenly kingdom.
From now on, they can look at the entire world with a more peaceful and fair perspective.
This is quite important.
After all, as the leaders of Chinese culture, their mentality will profoundly affect the philosophy of the entire nation.
In this turbulent age of exploration, a nation with the concepts of openness, tolerance, and justice will definitely not decline.
"Your Highness, we name this church the Cathedral of Our Lady, which means the rebirth of God's will on the eastern land."
While making the introduction, Deng Yuhan looked at Xu Ruolin who was in great interest without leaving any trace.
Obviously, this naming has the connotation of flattery.
All Catholics have decided that if Catholicism wants to thrive in China, it must unite closely around Xu Ruolin.
This current Princess Xia, the future Queen of Middle-earth, with her vast magical power, can completely protect the Catholic Church from wind and rain.
How could Zuo Mengeng not hear it?
But he just smiled and nodded in agreement.
From his perspective, the fact that Catholicism can take root in Middle-earth is not necessarily a bad thing.
Although Christianity played a very disgraceful role in the colonial history of the West, since it can help Western countries become stronger, it must have its excellent side.
Furthermore, although there are many religions in China, from a political perspective, they all have considerable flaws.
Especially in the process of helping the country to expand externally, whether it is Buddhism, Taoism or Confucianism, they all have serious inherent deficiencies.
The introduction of Catholicism can not only have an impact on these traditional religions and force them to complete their evolution; it can also absorb the best parts of them and help the country join the world of great strife.
After a visit, everyone, whether they are Catholics or not, gained considerable insights here.
The crowd scattered around, divided into several groups, and started discussing animatedly.
Some people are discussing religion, some are discussing art, and some are discussing ideas.
Among the loud voices, what Zuo Menggen saw was the conflict and integration of the East and the West.
This is exactly what he wants.
"Dear Your Highness, I have made a brand new pizza, please try it."
Cheslett's face glowed brightly and he brought new food to everyone.
Zuo Mengeng picked it up casually and didn't take it seriously at first, but his expression changed as soon as he took it into his mouth.
"This is……"
"Your Highness, spit it out quickly. Is there something wrong?"
His performance frightened Fu Xinyuan, and he immediately rushed forward and isolated Chester and Zuo Mengeng. At the same time, he felt deeply regretful.
How could you just watch Zuo Mengeng eat casually?
If something unexpected happened, he would die without hesitation.
Almost in an instant, dark guards poured in from all directions, full of murderous intent.
This scene really frightened Chester, and his big eyes were filled with tears.
At the same time, she also deeply regretted it.
You clearly know that Zuo Mengeng has a lot to do with it, so why do you still want to mess around without permission?
Zuo Mengeng saw the chaotic scene, his head covered with black lines.
"What are you doing? You're making a fuss. It's nothing, just step back."
Everyone looked at his calm expression and felt relieved.
The guards retreated like a tide, but the atmosphere could not be restored.
Xu Ruolin walked over quickly and asked with concern: "What happened?"
Zuo Mengeng smiled bitterly and just held up the pizza in his hand.
"Cheslett used new fillings in it, which was quite novel. I was concerned about it, but I didn't expect it would cause such a big misunderstanding."
Hearing that it was just this, Xu Ruolin let out a sigh of relief and gave him a charming look.
"You, you, don't even think about your own identity. It's really scary to act like this."
Zuo Mengeng quickly handed over his hands and apologized to everyone.
When something unexpected happened, Zuo Rong didn't say anything. He just took a step and stood in front of Zuo Mengeng like a wall.
Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, he relaxed and walked up to Chester to comfort him.
"It's just a small misunderstanding, ma'am, please don't worry."
Cheslett only felt that he was shrouded in a huge black shadow, as if his whole person was surrounded, and he was full of security.
She timidly raised her head and met Zuo Rong's eyes.
What Zuo Rong saw was only a pair of big blue eyes that were as deep as a deep lake. The tears were crystal clear, mysterious, holy, and extremely penetrating.
Every trembling of the crystal made his heart move slightly. This chapter has been completed!
