Chapter 284 Religious Reform (Please subscribe!)

In this era when social productivity needs to be improved urgently and the material living standards of ordinary people are extremely low, the existence of religion has undoubtedly given the people at the lowest level spiritual sustenance, allowing them to have expectations for the future in their difficult lives.

Under the subtle influence over the years, the image of the beautiful heavenly dynasty created by the Church of Light has long become the lifelong expectations of countless ordinary people in the Norman Empire.

It is precisely because of this that Bruno, who first arrived a year ago, often takes up the banner of the Church of Light, and relies on his status as a holder of the Order of St. George to conquer pirates and expand territory.

On the one hand, they are using the banner of the Church of Light, but on the other hand, they are always wary of the backlash from the Church of Light.

Although this seems a bit awkward, it is all concessions and compromises that Bruno has to make. After all... the influence of the Church of Light has penetrated deeply into the national culture and social ideology of the Norman Empire. middle.

Therefore, in Bruno's view, since the influence of the Church of Light cannot be eliminated, the people's belief in the God of Light must be placed under the control of the Stuart family through some means, which is what people often say... …Kingdom’s power is greater than divine power.

Religion is never an area that can be easily touched.

Before this, Bruno had been holding back and not daring to take action. On the one hand, it was because the time had not come yet, and on the other hand, he was worried that as the owner of the Order of St. George, it was still difficult to endorse the religious reform.

Because... after all, the Order of St. George is only an honor awarded by the Church of Light to non-clergy. Although it looks very dazzling, nobles will always be nobles. The influence of nobles in the religious field can never be compared with that of pure clergy. .

With the arrival of Mike, Bruno's worries were easily resolved.

Cardinal of the Eastern Diocese!

Although this position is far from the core decision-making level of the Church of Light, its influence in the eastern part of the empire is unique!

"This position is great!" Bruno helped Mike up and said with a smile.

Now that Mike has been appointed as the Cardinal of the Eastern Diocese, Bruno suddenly has the confidence to deal with the religious reform.

Although he knew that any reform had risks, Bruno still habitually left himself a way out most of the time.

And now, since Cardinal Mike is standing in front of the stage to preside over the reform, even if the religious reform unfortunately fails, Bruno can completely transfer Mike to the French Islands far away from the mainland, thus avoiding the consequences of the religious reform to the greatest extent. And caused problems.

What's more, from Bruno's point of view, the possibility of failure is really very small!

On an objective level, the Church of Light did have deep roots in the Norman Empire, but the number of believers in the eastern part of the empire was actually relatively small, which facilitated Bruno's religious reform.

In addition, the social productivity of Idar Territory has increased rapidly like a rocket due to the promotion of magic industrialization, which has reduced the people's dependence on the Church of Light.

Since people can obtain the necessities of life with their own hands, there is no need to spend all day thinking about how to enter heaven after death.

The important thing is to live in the moment,

Contribute to the progress and development of Idarland!

"Mike..." Bruno pondered for a moment, and then said seriously: "The person I trust the most is you..."

Mike:? ? ?

Since Mike had just returned from undercover service, as a conscientious noble lord, in order to allow Mike to quickly adapt to the development status of Idar Territory and avoid feeling unfamiliar to the ever-changing Idar Territory due to being away for too long, Bruno was very A bunch of tasks were quickly assigned to Mike.

This is not because Bruno deliberately squeezes Mike's labor force, but because this is the best time to carry out religious reform!

The invasion of Odin made all Idar people unite as closely as pomegranate seeds. A large number of aspiring young people from Idar became members of the volunteer army, providing valuable support for this war to defend the Idar territory. .

In Bruno's view, this is the time when the Idar Territory has the strongest cohesion and the highest execution ability, and it is the time when all the people of Idar are closely united around Bruno Stuart, Earl of Idar!

Today's war is a risk and challenge for the Idar Territory, but it is also an opportunity for the Idar Territory.

Taking the previous life as an example, relying on the strong execution ability just after the end of World War II, Yingjiang achieved considerable anti-drug results in just a few years, and also did several personnel affairs. Legalized bald eagles biting around are completely different!

Bruno has always hoped that through appropriate guidance, the people will extend their respect for the God of Light to the soldiers who fight to guard the Idar Territory, and to the outstanding Idar Territory who have contributed to the progress of the Idar Territory. On the Dal people.

Everyone should have the right to read religious texts at any time. Everyone can have a different interpretation of the teachings of the Church of Light. There is no need for cumbersome religious rituals or sacred religious sites. As long as you are worthy of your true heart, that is enough. Got it!

After the war is won, wouldn't it be just right to publicize the glorious deeds of Idar soldiers, describe the changes that have taken place in Idar territory, and then take advantage of the situation to pave the way for the religious reform?

Mike is a trustworthy person, so Bruno did not hide his thoughts, because in the final analysis, these specific actions must be carried out by Mike, the cardinal of the eastern diocese.

"You mean...to gradually guide the Idar people's belief in the God of Light to other aspects?" Mike felt that he was under great pressure.

"That's right!"

"At the very least, the believers in the Idar Territory and the current Church of Light must be divided into two parts that are not subordinate to each other. It is best to let the religious forces in the Idar Territory form a new sect on their own, and you... …will also become the cardinal archbishop of this new sect!” Bruno said without hesitation.

Gan!

At the beginning, Mike did feel that his task was very difficult, but when he heard Bruno's words, Mike suddenly became energetic.

Sure enough, the Earl has always valued himself very much!

"Don't worry, Lord Earl, I promise to complete the mission!" Mike assured with confidence.

I read it after I finished writing it. I feel that this chapter is a bit boring. I will have more to come later...
