Chapter 633 Archbishop! !
"Yes, my lord!"
Not long after, a man dressed in white clothes walked into Jiang Chen's study.
Jiang Chen was also taken aback when he saw it.
The person in front of him had a high status in Christianity.
According to the division of Christian positions, in addition to the Pope of Rome, there are red archbishops, and then there are white archbishops.
The archbishop in white, who manages all the churches in a small kingdom, has great power.
"Bishop Gregory in white from Armenia, and pay homage to the pastor of Hanzhong Jiang!"
The man performed a very pious Christian ceremony towards Jiang Chen, which also confirmed Jiang Chen's guess that he was indeed the bishop of the Kingdom of Armenia.
The biggest bishop in Armenia is also Gregory, because he believes in Christianity, and the king is Gregory's uncle. He made Armenia a country with Christianity as the state religion.
"Get up, I don't know what advice the Archbishop has come to me?"
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have never been to the Vatican, have you?"
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Herder Jiang also knows about the Vatican?"
"That is a holy place for our Christianity. Every year, countless saints make a pilgrimage to the Vatican!"
"But the leader of the sect is so busy with desires that he has no time to make a pilgrimage to the Vatican!"
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Gregory immediately felt much closer.
After all, for their Christianity, people in the Central Plains now sneer at them, and no one has successfully preached in the Central Plains.
They all want to rule this fertile land in the east, but the scholars in the Central Plains don't believe them at all.
"Of course I know the Vatican!"
"It's like thunder!"
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
The reason why he knew the Vatican was because the later Vatican had become the smallest country in the world, so he was very impressed.
And it is precisely because the Pope lives in the Vatican that a state can be established there.
However, in later generations, Christianity also began to blossom everywhere in China. Because of the lack of confidence in their own country's culture, foreign cultures began to loot the fertile land of the East.
This has to be said to be a tragedy for the Chinese people. Fortunately, as the country becomes stronger, Christianity also begins to gradually wither in China.
"Yeah, that's our holy place!"
"If there is a chance, the leader will abdicate one day. He will definitely go to the Vatican and die there. That is the best destination!"
Gregory said with emotion.
"The bishop came here this time not to catch up with me, right?"
"Although I know the Vatican, Christianity has no soil in the Central Plains!"
Jiang Chen looked at Gregory with a smile, and dismissed his idea of preaching in Hanzhong in advance.
What a joke, my own Taoism has no time to promote, so I don't have time to engage in Christianity, what's the point?Do foreign monks like to chant scriptures? ?
During the most glorious period of Chinese culture, he did not want to engage in something so unhelpful to the Chinese people.
"Master Jiang, our church has heard of you a long time ago, and you have always been kind to the people!"
"It's like the teachings I teach, so the leader of the church has always felt that he is destined to have a relationship with Muzhu Jiang!"
"If Pastor Jiang is willing, our church can recommend Pastor Jiang to the Pope to make you the Cardinal Archbishop of the Central Plains, which is second only to the Pope!"
"I don't know if Master Jiang can let the people of his country bathe in the grace of God and get rid of suffering."
Gregory looked at Jiang Chen expectantly.
If Jiang Chen was able to promote Christianity in the Central Plains, relying on Jiang Chen's influence, Christianity would definitely be able to spread throughout Hanzhong.
At that time, Christianity will definitely be able to rule the world. Thinking of this, Gregory felt a little excited.
If this is the case, he has the merit of recommendation, and he must have the opportunity to be promoted to Cardinal.
He also wants to be transferred to the Vatican and become the cardinal of Fengyun, so that the world will admire him.
"This is not necessary!"
"I just said that people in Hanzhong don't believe you!"
"They all pray to gods and worship Buddha. If I really become the archbishop in red, I'm afraid I will be overthrown knowing it!"
"Don't hurt me!"
Jiang Chen made a joke, not really.
He knows that if he really promotes Christianity, it will definitely become popular for a while, and people in the whole country will start to convert to Christianity.
But he is unwilling, these foreign sects, he despises very much.
If you have time, you might as well promote Taoism. In his time, he knew that Taoists went down to save the country in troubled times, and monks in prosperous times came out to make money.
Although Taoism also has many shortcomings, it has the purest tradition of the Central Plains people.
They love the country and the people, and they will go down the mountain to save the world in troubled times, and take saving the people as their duty.
In all dynasties, whether it is the prime minister who saved the country or the miracle doctor who saved the world, they were all Taoists, not Buddhists.
The ones that everyone is most familiar with, such as Liu Bowen, the founding prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, Li Shizhen,
Zhang Liang, the founding prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng of the Tang Dynasty, etc., each founding emperor basically had a powerful prime minister by his side, and they were more or less related to Taoism.
As for the Buddhists, it is basically only in the prosperous times that they can hear that their temple is full of incense. In troubled times, it is basically difficult to see their saviors.
This is the difference. Taoism emphasizes that Taoism follows nature. They practice Taoism and cultivate their minds. However, in troubled times, they can't bear to see the people suffer, so they will go down the mountain to save the world.
In the end, it led to the decline of Taoism, because the inheritance was wiped out.
Especially during the Anti-Japanese War, basically all Taoist temples were empty, and all of them joined the anti-Japanese team.
Therefore, Jiang Chen despised foreign teachers very much in his heart, they did not make any contribution to the country, they only kept asking for it, that was not what he wanted.
"Master Jiang, this sect is here to ask for help!"
"Armenia is undergoing world changes!"
"The Guishuang Empire and the Parthian Empire have been eyeing Armenia and want to carve up Armenia!"
"I heard that Muzhu Jiang has always been merciful. I don't know if he can save the Armenian people from the fire and water!"
"In this way, I am deeply grateful and will definitely establish a permanent friendship with Shepherd Jiang and help each other!"
Gregory looked at Jiang Chen expectantly.
He came here this time because he wanted Jiang Chen to help them.
Although Armenia was established, it is now in the gap between the two empires, and there are constant frictions on the frontier.If there is no way, it is only a matter of time before they perish.
"Master Gregory, you have also seen that our Hanzhong is also in deep war!"
"It's really a perfect clone!"
