059 Pope of Rome
Mobile reading
The Vatican City is a special city-state in the world, and the Vatican City is the territory of the Vatican state. Pinshu.com has a permanent population of less than one square kilometer and about 1,000 people. There are about 900 permanent residents in Vatican City.
The majority of the Vatican's citizens are clergy, including bishops, priests, nuns, and the famous Swiss Guard.
The sovereignty of the Vatican City State belongs to the Pope, and it has its own currency, postal services, telecommunications and civil institutions, and it is a theocratic system, and the Pope is the head of state.
In addition to a certain amount of tourism income at home, the Vatican City State is a huge international financial trust with its economy relying on a large amount of land, investment, gold and foreign exchange reserves abroad, and operating multinational companies in various industries.
But these are secondary to both economy and sovereignty, and the most important thing is the Pope's command over the world's 1.1 billion Catholics, who account for almost one-fifth of the world's population, which is the most amazing power of the Holy See.
Queen Victoria came to the Vatican to pay a visit to the Catholic Emperor on the Pope's Mercedes-Benz G mount.
When Lin Cheng first stepped into the world-famous St. Peter's Basilica, he was also shocked by its majesty and momentum.
In fact, due to the differences between Chinese and Western cultures, Michelangelo's realistic paintings are far less meaningful than the abstract landscapes of Chinese paintings, but its majestic and magnificent is indeed shocking.
Lin Cheng followed Sophia and Queen Victoria into the Pope's reception room, an old man wearing Little Red Riding Hood stood quietly inside the door, his eyes were like electricity, and he stared at Lin Cheng's body at a glance.
Queen Victoria was not the first time she had seen the Pope, both were symbols of a spirit. But when she entered the door, the Pope's gaze did not look at her, but at the bodyguard behind her, which made Queen Victoria a little strange.
The status of both of them is here, even if your pope status is a little higher, but I am not lower than you, according to common sense, this kind of high-level people meet, the first thing to focus on is the person with the highest status, this is the habit.
But the Pope's gaze was even a little indistractable.
"Dear Archpope Ratzinger, is there anything worth your attention to about this guard of mine?"
"Your bodyguard? Oh my God, are you sure he's your bodyguard?"
"Of course, he is good friends with my granddaughter Sophia, and Sophia hired him. ”
Grand Pope Ratzinger narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lin Cheng again, "His status in the future will not be lower than you and me." ”
Queen Victoria's words to Archpope Ratzinger are very strange, because this young man looks extremely ordinary, but what is extraordinary is his superb kung fu, but to win this comment from Pope Ratzinger shows that this young man from the East is indeed extraordinary.
To know how difficult it is to become the Pope of Catholicism, you can imagine that the Pope is the living representative of Christ, has the supreme right, and is the spiritual leader of Catholics. And each generation of popes is a person of great knowledge and high prestige, for life.
The conditions for a papal candidate are very strict, requiring a multi-level, step-by-step formal study and years of training, culminating in a certificate from the Vatican Bible Institute to become a priest and later a cardinal archbishop of the diocese. In the final elections of 117 archbishops in isolation in the Sistine Chapel, the elections were fiercely contested, and only a two-thirds majority of cardinals were elected.
The Pope enjoys supreme legislative and judicial power and is "infallible in ethics and faith." Every generation of popes has been invariably rich in knowledge, astonishing in vision and insight, and intuition.
Therefore, the words of the Grand Pope left a deep impression on Queen Victoria's heart, but she did not ask deeply, because she had come to visit Archpope Ratzinger for other things.
But these things have nothing to do with Lin Cheng and Sophia, Lin Cheng also heard Queen Victoria say a word or two just now, probably some problems between Protestantism and Catholicism.
Lin Cheng didn't have time to study these questions because Sophia kept pestering Lin Cheng to ask, why did the Catholic Church look at him differently?
Lin Cheng also felt that his head was as big as a fight, how did he know that this Little Red Riding Hood would look at him like this, he was just a down-and-out wanderer who had left a foreign country, and it was difficult to return home.
Specifically why this recognized Great Pope of God can look up to himself so much, Lin Cheng really didn't know, and in the face of Sophia's questioning, he could only be silent.
But fortunately, the conversation between Queen Victoria and Archpope Ratzinger did not last long, which made Lin Cheng happy and could finally get rid of Sophia's inquiry.
Queen Victoria said goodbye to Archpope Ratzinger and was about to take the two away, but Archbishop Ratzinger stopped Lin Cheng, "Wait, young man, this book is for you." ”
Lin Cheng took it and took a look, there were a lot of words, all handwritten, but he didn't know what the words were. Lin Cheng's English level can also understand some of what is said, that is, listening and speaking are okay, but when it comes to reading and writing, Lin Cheng is rubbish.
But thank you he will still say, anyway, for himself, not to take it out, "Thank you." ”
Archbishop Ratzinger smiled slightly, "Goodbye, young man, goodbye, Queen Victoria." ”
The three of them left the Holy See, and Sophia took the book given to Lin Cheng by the Great Pope, "Wow, the manuscript of the Catholic Code, this thing is hard to find for many believers, you are so lucky." ”
Hearing Sophia's words, Queen Victoria also turned her head sideways to look at the book that Archpope Ratzinger had just given to Lin Cheng, "Can I read your book?"
Queen Victoria begged, but of course Lin Cheng would not refuse, "Okay, look, it just so happens that my language is not good enough to understand." ”
"Hehe, Pope Ratzinger thinks very highly of you. ”
"That's the love of the Great Pope. Lin Cheng thought to himself that if you read the book and could give me some material compensation, it would be even better. However, Queen Victoria didn't seem to think about it at all, and after Lin Cheng handed the book to Queen Victoria, she solemnly put the book in her handbag.
The car back, of course, was the Mercedes-Benz G of the Holy See Archpope.
At the entrance of the airport, Lin Cheng and Sophia had just gotten out of the car, and Queen Victoria was still in the car. Suddenly, a speeding car rushed forward, and from the open window, an Uzi submachine gun fired at Lin Cheng and Sophia.
