Linda, who was standing at the front, was the first to reply: "I will obey the Pope's orders!"
“I’m asking for your advice, don’t try to pass all the problems to me,” Ron replied, squinting.
He has a complete strategy for church development, but he still needs to listen to the opinions of his subordinates.
When Pope Ron asked her again, Linda finally realized that the new pope was different from the old one.
Linda boldly replied, "Your Holiness, I believe we can produce more illusion stones and then promote our church a little..."
Ron listened, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said encouragingly, "Continue!"
Actually, making more Phantom Stones is not feasible due to circumstances, but Ron would like to hear Linda's other suggestions.
We shouldn't dampen other people's enthusiasm from the very beginning.
Sure enough, encouraged by the Pope, Linda went on to offer several more suggestions.
If missionary sites for music churches are expanded into scenic areas, there will surely be travelers from all over the mainland in the future...
After Linda finished speaking, Ron listened to the advice of those present for a while.
Well, I've pretty much perfected my plan.
The first development plan since the establishment of the New God Church has been released.
Firstly, the Pope Lord encourages his subjects to follow the religions of the Goddess of Music and the God of Water, but does not force them to believe in any deity.
Second... believers must not discriminate against other believers.
Thirdly, priests, pastors, nuns, and other clergy members of the two major theistic religions are permitted to preach their doctrines within the territory, but they must not disturb the people.
Fourth... In the future, each scenic area can establish a missionary point for one of the two major religions respectively.
5... In the future, the Phantom Stone, or other special products of the two major religions, may be added with doctrinal content.
Six... Effective immediately, academies within the territory may establish courses in divine arts!
...
...
Ron's first visit to the church to discuss developments was recorded on precious parchment, which was covered with magical runes to protect the documents. The parchment was also exceptionally durable and resistant to decay.
Three copies were made, one for the Lord's Mansion, one for the Music Goddess Cult, and one for the Water God Cult.
As Ron dictated the final draft, the three women moved their feathers together. Vivian also participated in the writing, along with Linda and Rita.
The font is complete.
Ron, sitting in the main seat, instructed Vivian to carefully put away the document from the lord's manor.
Looking down at the group of clergy below once again, I inexplicably sensed that Linda and the others were deep in thought.
Ron wasn't in a hurry; he waited patiently for his subordinates' questions to be answered. ヾ(′▽`*)ゝ
This time, however, it wasn't Linda who asked the question, but rather the elderly man standing next to her.
This must be a priest; judging from his clothing, he should be a high-ranking member of the Church of the Goddess of Music.
The old man stepped forward and bowed, then said, "Your Holiness, regarding the doctrines of the Church, I wonder if Your Holiness intends to make any revisions?"
This is actually an inquiry into the doctrinal content within the development content.
Indeed, previously it was just a development strategy, but the core doctrines of the religion were missing.
Regarding the doctrines of a church, those in the magical world have a somewhat ancient, spell-like feel.
When believers recite the doctrines, various effects arise, ranging from relaxation and happiness to the exhilarating content associated with the god of war.
Because of the differences in religions, in the religions of the Goddess of Music and the Goddess of Water, the Pope can modify the content of the doctrines according to changes in the situation on the mainland.
Doctrines such as those that inspire and uplift during years of disaster.
On the papal throne, Ron didn't answer at first, but instead asked, "Old sir, who are you...?"
Ron didn't ask about his men when he arrived, and he actually thought that everyone accompanying Linda was a nobody!
Clearly, the old man was not.
"Your Holiness, Lawson Jim is the Chief Missionary of the Church of God."
The chief missionary of the church is like an interpreter of divine doctrines, holding a high position and great significance, so it's no wonder that the old man would care about the content of the doctrines.
That's what they mainly teach.
Ron glanced at Vivian calmly.
Vivian understood and took out the doctrinal documents that Ron had prepared before his arrival.
Two copies, corresponding to the two major religions.
The pale yellow paper contains the doctrines of the Goddess of Music, while the light blue cardboard contains the doctrines of the Goddess of Water.
The teachings were handed to the old man.
The old man watched cautiously and attentively, and the scene was quiet for a moment.
When the old man Lawson Jim first saw it, he was slightly surprised, as it was not related to any incantation.
this……
Lawson Jim glanced up at Pope Ron seemingly casually, only to see that Ron still had a smile on his face.
Despite his many questions, Lawson patiently continued reading.
The doctrine is short, only about ten sentences long!
It is simple, yet it clearly explains the tenets of the religion.
Ron had naturally informed Linda, one of God's chosen ones, about the doctrine beforehand.
Lawson glanced at Linda again, and she nodded to herself. Lawson sighed and accepted the doctrines of his sect.
After this, there will be no need for him as an interpreter! The doctrine is self-explanatory.
"God so loves the world, and those who believe..."
The content mainly focuses on themes such as faith, righteousness, propriety, and purity.
Considering the neutral stance of the gods, I will not write about universal love, respect for the elderly, etc., but at least I will point out some specific things that believers should pay attention to.
Just like Jie, believers will certainly pay attention to keeping themselves clean at all times in the future.
Clothes can be torn, but they must be clean, etc.
It is simple, yet easy for believers to understand at a glance.
So, the gods favor people like this!
Hehe, maybe it's possible. Anyway, those favored by the gods must receive divine oracle. Gods truly exist.
The doctrines are clear, and ordinary people on the mainland naturally know what kind of church this is.
Because the deities have different divine roles, the doctrines contain separate sections on music and water management, but the differences don't seem significant, as the two deities are essentially allies.
Since even God had no objections, the current doctrinal content was settled.
Imagine the shock and disbelief that will be felt when believers accept the new doctrines!
It sounds interesting.
However, there must be a reason why such incantation-like doctrines have survived for thousands of years.
Pope Ron said, “From now on, the new doctrine shall be used during the seventh day of pilgrimage, while the churches in various places may use the content of the previous doctrine at other times.”
Upon hearing this, the old man Lawson visibly visibly relaxed.
"As per the papal decree."
"As Your Holiness commands..."
Next, Ron spoke to them about the need to respect pagans, the benefits of tourism development in the territory, and the right of all living beings to freedom of religion.
Actually, Ron wanted to say that it didn't matter if there were no believers, but in a world where gods exist, saying that was extremely inappropriate.
Leaving aside the topic of the faithless, we discussed for a while the content of the Territory Divine Arts course.
"..."
There are indeed many problems in the specific implementation.
It wasn't until nightfall that Ron returned to the lord's manor, and Vivian's storage ring contained various documents and the three sets of papal robes.
Next time, I'm afraid I'll have to wear the papal robes.
At the church gate, Linda, who had seen Ron and his group off, was still chanting, "Freedom of religion, Divine Spells..."
"Pope, oh Pope..."
For some unknown reason, Linda suddenly smiled slightly beneath her veil, and then turned to deal with matters such as the church's development and personnel arrangements.
