"If Roland Kolas can really successfully perform the sanctification ceremony, people can be completely rid of the stigma of heresy by entering the Sindra Cathedral in the Atonement Fortress, and no longer have to worry about the soul falling into purgatory after death, which is undoubtedly a great blessing for the Far Easterners who have been depressed and helpless in the field of faith for a long time and have no way out, Rubin, do you know what it means?" Gropha looked at his companion with a little more solemnity in his eyes.

"It means that those heretics who desire to obtain the salvation of their souls, no matter where they are, will find it difficult to resist the urge to embark on a pilgrimage as soon as they hear this news, and travel thousands of miles to the Fort of Atonement, enter the Sindra Cathedral to be sanctified and baptized, and take refuge at the feet of the goddess of fate, and it also means that Roland Kolas, who presided over the sanctification ceremony, this young man who brought the gospel of salvation to all the people of the Far East, will become the savior in the hearts of the people, become the pope of all the Sindra believers, and immediately gain unparalleled appeal, As long as he gives the order, thousands of fanatical believers will give their lives for him without complaint! Rubin took a deep breath, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and muttered, "It's terrible, I'd rather Roland Koras's sanctification ritual ended in failure...... Is this possible? ”

"It's not just that, it's not small." Glova looked at the bulletin board and whispered, "The sanctification ceremony of Fort Atonement is not exactly the same as the original sanctification ceremony of Parniabor, and it is much more difficult to perform sanctification while countering the 'judgment ceremony' that already exists in the church. ”

"What is the 'Rite of Judgment'?" Rubin asked curiously.

"The 'rite of judgment' is the opposite of the 'ritual of sanctification,' the purpose of which is not to redeem believers, but to punish heresy." Gropha turned to look at his traveling companion, his eyes were extremely bright, "Rubin, have you ever considered such a question, why does the Holy Light Holy See have the right to pronounce someone a heretic, and after the verdict is pronounced, the other party is really marked with an evil aura, and even the descendants of this person will inherit the brand of heresy, and even if they do all the good deeds in their lives, they will not be able to get rid of the crime, and they will irretrievably fall into purgatory and suffer after death?" ”

Rubin nodded heavily, "I did think about this question, and the more I thought about it, the more unreasonable I felt, a person's good and evil should be determined by his actions, take a step back, even if there is that kind of inherently evil race, the standard of good and evil should not be set by the Perot Holy See, although Pero's power is strong, but it is not strong enough to overwhelm the gods to determine good and evil, why would the divine art of the 'detection camp' recognize the Perio Holy See's judgment of heretics, even if the caster is not Perot's priest?" It's weird......"

Grofa smiled strangely, "I once sent a man who was condemned a heretic by the Church to the astral plane in order to study this issue, and guess what?" ”

"I can't guess...... Wait a minute! Rubin suddenly trembled and his eyes widened: "Could it be that the other party's heresy charges have disappeared?" ”

"That's right, when the other party left Varestianyu, I used my magic to detect the opponent's camp again, and I was surprised to find that the evil aura disappeared, revealing a neutral aura."

"How could there be such a thing...... Rubin swallowed his saliva and asked Grofa tentatively, "Does this mean that the judgment of the Holy See of Pero is only valid in the Varestianyu crystal system, and in other parts of the multiverse, this kind of judgment is not approved by the gods?" ”

Colossa nodded solemnly: "That's the case, the Holy See of Pero is the most dominant church in the whole territory of Vares, this absolute dominance is refracted to the spiritual level is the Pelo churches and Inquisitions all over the world, there is nothing in the world more real than power, with power, especially in the religious sense, you can distort people's outlook on life and even the world's accepted moral standards, the reason why the Holy See of Pero can speak the law, saying that whoever is a heretic is a heretic, Its authority comes from the absolute domination of the entire Varestianyu religious community, and those who believe in Pero are the absolute mainstream in this world, and the consensus formed is the mainstream concept in society, and the church receives the blessing of the mainstream concept, and if someone is identified as a heretic, then the other party will become a heretic recognized by the world, and the offspring of the heresy will also be heretical, and the descendants of the other party will not escape the crime, this is the power of the authority that dominates the mainstream concept of society, and the tyrants of the secular world are also inferior to it. You say terrible, not terrible. ”

"It's really terrifying, but this situation is limited to the world of Vares, is it because the Pero believers of other planes and crystal wall systems do not have an absolute majority like them in Vares, so the Pero Church elsewhere does not have this kind of authority to speak and speak?" Rubin easily draws a corollary.

"Yes, in other worlds, it is possible that believers of other gods occupy the absolute mainstream, or there may not be a church that occupies the absolute mainstream, but in order to achieve the authority of the Holy See of Pero to identify heretics, it is not enough to have a believer base, and some technical operations must be carried out."

Rubin immediately thought of what Colossa had just said, "The operation at the technical level is the so-called 'judgment ceremony'?" ”

Gropha nodded, "Have you ever witnessed the Holy See pronouncing heresy?" The inquisitors of the Inquisition will arrest the suspected heretics and escort them to the largest church in the Holy City or the provincial capital, where the bishop will personally interrogate the suspects, point out the genuine heretics, denounce the evil deeds of the other party, declare the other party guilty, and the descendants will be punished for their sins...... After this set of teachings, the specific punishment is carried out, the one who is guilty of the most sinful is burned at the stake, and the one who is not guilty of death is sentenced to exile. ”

"Of course I know all of this, what the hell are you trying to say?" Rubin asked.

"What I'm trying to say is that the preaching that precedes the sentencing to the stake or exile, which seems like a routine cliché, is actually very important." Pointing to the temple in the middle of the city, "The bishop's pronouncement is actually a curse that triggers the rite of judgment, and most of those who are reprimanded by the bishop have no evil aura at all before entering the temple of Perro, but after being reprimanded...... Hehe, if you release the detection camp on them, you will be surprised to find that the evil aura has magically appeared. ”

Speaking of which, Rubin understood no matter how stupid he was, wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and muttered: "No wonder the Holy See spends a lot of money every year to build magnificent temples in various places, I originally thought it was a meaningless waste of money, purely to satisfy the vanity of the clergy, but now it seems that I am too naïve, every large temple is a sanctuary of condemnation, only here to pronounce someone a heretic, the other party will become a legitimate heretic, will become an evil person recognized by the gods of Varess and the laws of the world." ”
