She Is Not a Witch Chapter 95: Lectures under the tree
In the following time, Lorrain Hill and other 7 exchange students were taken to a small church halfway up the mountain.
Here is an older priest and two nuns. There are not many people, it is relatively quiet, it is located on the west side of the sacred mountain of Karen Riel, and pilgrims will not pass through here.
The 7 of them will learn the basic knowledge about the angel church, such as the history of the church’s origins and changes, and as a clergyman, how to preach the Bible, how to preach, what rules need to be followed, and how to guide people Do prayers, cultivate your mind, solve some simple life questions, and so on.
These studies will take about 2 months, and then I will transfer to other institutions and departments.
Under a big tree in front of the church, several students dressed in black-and-white nuns and monk uniforms were sitting on wooden benches and tree stumps, listening to the pastor's account of some knowledge.
"When the angel church first emerged, there were different branches in various places. Although the origins are all angel sequences, there are still many gaps in everyone's concepts and ideas."
"After several debates and confrontations, one of them has gradually developed and grown. This is the Candlelight Church."
"After hundreds of years of dissemination, the candlelight church has gradually become the mainstream, and other small genres are slowly disappearing."
"In the Third Age 842, a pastor of a small genre publicly published the "Ten Sins of the Evil of Candlelight", refuting and resisting many evil practices of the Candlelight Church, including but not limited to, blind worship, Persecution of dissidents, embezzlement of donations, contempt for life, etc."
"This matter has caused widespread quarrels on the mainland, and many royal families and nobles no longer support the Candlelight Church as they did before."
" After nearly a hundred years of internal disputes, new doctrines and concepts have slowly formed. Finally, the 11th pope announced the "Glorious Reform", abolished many unreasonable regulations, and modified the scriptures to make them more consistent. Human ethics and common sense, the establishment of the adjudication department for self-examination, break away from the world, no longer interfere with various countries and organizations, etc."
"Although the strength of the church has been weakened since then, it has also been used to restore people's hearts and continues to the present."
......
Although it is his own dishonorable history, the old pastor did not shy away from it, telling it frankly to these students from Emenas.
There is no shortage of wise people in the church. For these well-informed students of Emenas, if they still use the rhetoric against the common people, I am afraid they are insulting people. Besides, these students will most of them in the next few years. Becoming an elite of various organizations, there is really no need to leave a bad feeling for this.
Therefore, those who have always taught exchange students these basic knowledge are also enlightened in the church.
A student raised his hand and asked: "Pastor Vincent, I want to ask a question."
"Go ahead." The priest in a gold-rimmed white robe looked at the student and replied tolerantly.
He looked at his appearance in his fifties, and his face was kind.
"Did the candlelight book we read the other day have been revised several times?"
"Yes, it has undergone four major revisions and more than a hundred minor revisions."
"Is the deeds in there real?"
"I can only say that most of them are real, which is the same as history. In fact, even those who witnessed it will write different words and messages from different angles."
"What we can do is to find out the most reasonable part that meets everyone's cognition and needs, write it as a scripture, and popularize it with everyone."
"Do you believe in the existence of gods?" asked a male student next to him. He was slightly stronger and his name was Haisen.
"I believe that God existed." The pastor said.
"What about now."
"This is the goal I keep chasing."
"If God does not exist, why do you still believe in Him?" asked a lanky student. His name was Crow, a student of the Necromantic Order.
"People have many imperfections, such as character, will, strength, lifespan, wisdom, etc., but we aspire to achieve that perfect and unified state, and the gods are the end of our long journey."
"His existence is our goal."
"Can people also become gods?"
"I don't know, but we are approaching it step by step. Maybe one day we can reach this end."
This seemingly ordinary pastor answered many students’ questions with simple and wise sentences. Let everyone be convinced that some of the dissatisfaction caused by the uncomfortable life in the sanctuary before is also resolved, and I look forward to this journey of exchange and study.
Lorrain Hill also sat on a stump under the tree, and used a pen to record this sentence on the thick, yellowed paper.
Compared to other classmates, she understands this old man's origins better. The system shows that the old priest is the Angel Sequence 8. Priest of Divine Grace, and is also a retired archbishop of the diocese.
Although due to old age (about 120 years old), lack of strength, etc., unable to compete for the position of the pope, his qualifications and seniority in the church can be said to be very advanced.
After the other classmates had finished asking questions, the black girl raised her wrist.
"Do you have any questions, Rocher?"
Among these few students, who is most concerned about Vincent, that is, this silver-haired girl named Rocher, according to some important figures in the church, if this girl can formally join the church In a few years, she will be able to serve as the saint of the church and be responsible for a large parish.
"I am very interested in angels~IndoMTL.com~Do they have a gender, are they entities, and where do they come from?"
Contrary to what he said before, Vincent thought for a while before answering slowly.
"Angels have no entity and no gender. When they are attached to a creature, they will be displayed in the shape of that creature."
"But, I'm talking about high-level high-ranking angels. Some ordinary angels are indeed physical, and they will be more special."
"More detailed knowledge about angels is recorded in the secret scripture room in the church. Because of some regulations, I cannot tell you completely for the time being."
"If you join the church in the future, you will get better with your age and seniority, and you will gradually learn the secrets."
"Hey?..." Hearing this explanation, the students present were a little unhappy, but they could only understand, after all, they did not fully open up their obligations to you.
"That's it..." Lorraine lowered his head, groaning in a low voice, and the tip of the pen held by his fingers drew a small circle on the paper.
But from another aspect, it can be seen that this pastor is more honest and did not deceive or mislead. Instead, he said directly, I can’t just say these things casually.
When everyone's curiosity aroused, these students were also allowed to approach the church step by step.
is worthy of being the once archbishop, such a bright and arrogant man, recruiting these geniuses from Emenas.
Knowing that he couldn't get valid information from the pastor, Lorrain Hill had to think of another way.
