Chapter 348: , Olympic

In the Catholic Church, it's a big crime in theory to engage in foundation work. If this is really confirmed, then it should definitely break the door. But in fact, it is very common and even semi-public among high-level nobles and high-level priests. In fact, almost no one really takes this seriously. So the Pope suddenly sent someone to investigate this matter, which is really puzzling.
Because if a person with ulterior motives wants to frame someone, it is a very common and very useful charge. For example, in order to get rid of his creditors, King Philip IV of France also grabbed his creditors to make a fortune, so that Pope Clement V, who was living in Avignon, declared that his creditors, the Knights Templar, were heretics. After committing a collective crime, the Knights Templar were tied to the stake for barbecue. From then on, accusing the other party of being is one of the commonly used methods to frame others. Especially the French, this is almost a traditional skill.
Austria reacted immediately, and Emperor Fritz immediately issued a statement, declaring that this was completely shameless slander and an insult to Austria. His Majesty Emperor Fritz said that he believed that the pope must have been deceived by the villain around him to make such an absurd decision. In order to prove his innocence, for God and justice, he decided to immediately
He didn't dare to raise troops to Qingjun's side immediately, at least now. Although it can be regarded as the traditional art of the Emperor Shenluo directly on the side of the King of the Puritan, they are still separated from the Papal State by the Italian Legion of French. In addition, some aristocrats in the country seem to be unstable, and they have to take this opportunity to come out to get something like a moth. Therefore, Emperor Fritz II could only send Archduke John as a messenger to see the Pope immediately. I beg him to take it back and die.
According to historical records, Archduke John and the Pope had some unpleasant quarrels, and naturally failed to convince the Pope. Instead, the Pope who got it later faced the so-called
evidence
that was not too sufficient and hurriedly made a determination. Judgment of Apostasy by Izmir II.
Of course, this is the most reliable statement in history books. There are some unreliable rumors that describe the matter this way.
According to some conscientious historical inventors, after seeing the crown of the pope, Archduke John had finished his salute, and the crown of the pope took the initiative to withdraw from left and right, leaving only two of them in the living room. Grand Duke John said: "Under the crown, the Sun newspaper was originally a tabloid, shameless and inferior, rare in the world. And my Majesty is pious and noble, if the day is clear. How can the crown be because of it?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly sighed with tears when the pope closed his eyes: "The Grand Duke does not need to say more. I also know what the Sun newspaper said and cannot be taken seriously. Just investigating this matter is actually not my intention. Why is this so? But the Grand Duke does not have to worry about His Majesty, there is always a day when this matter must be vindicated for His Majesty. And that day, His Majesty will definitely be able to see it."
When Grand Duke John saw that the Pope said pitifully, he also knew that the Pope didn't do this. After they received Metternich’s letter, they naturally knew that this was a French conspiracy, so at this time, he didn’t know what to say, so he could only sigh and said, "So, I don’t know this. When will the results of the investigation come out?"
Grand Duke John knew that the Pope could not do much in this matter. Who would let everyone beat the French? Sure enough, the truth is always in the hands of people with big fists.
Since the Pope can't be the master in this matter, then naturally there is no need to ask what the result of the investigation is. Now we can only see if we can think of ways to make the investigation process a little slower.
"Oh, Grand Duke, you also know the situation of the Holy See now, so I will not hide it from you. They have all written the investigation conclusion and punishment decision. Only the following date is still empty. But I heard , The French are preparing for a truly sacrilegious event. The investigation conclusion and punishment decision will be announced when that event is completed. However, your Majesty should not worry too much, because the redress decision will also be completed in this event. It will be done soon. The time in between will not exceed a month."
Now, the Pope has shown his sincerity to the greatest extent. And Grand Duke John has nothing to do. In this situation, he can only lament.
The French are preparing for a major event, but Duke John knows what it is. Napoleon was so happy and well-known all over the world. Recently, he proposed a brand new plan, which is to promote world peace. He intends to restore the tradition of the ancient Olympic Games. After making this tradition interrupted for more than 1,400 years, it was revived again.
The ancient Olympic Games were inseparable from the traditional religion of Greece and Rome. It is part of the ritual to worship Zeus, the king of all gods. Therefore, in 393 AD, after the Roman Emperor Theodosius I declared Christianity as the state religion, the Olympic Games were recognized as pagan activities and annulled.
Now these French people actually publicly declare that to revive this kind of pagan activity, this is not apostasy, what is apostasy? This is not heresy, what is heresy?
However, this is really not apostasy, really not heresy. Who dares to say that this is apostasy, a heresy ~ EbookFREE.me ~ pious, and the French people who have always insisted on using the truth to convince people, will certainly not hesitate to use the truth of democracy and freedom to convince him.
Therefore, even the Holy See has to say that the French have a very good idea, especially the Olympic truce. The cessation of all acts of war during the Games reflects God’s love for mankind, and is a manifestation of God’s love for the world. So if you want to ask whether the Pope’s crown supports it, how can the Pope's crown not support it? Does the Pope feel that Avignon’s scenery is more beautiful?
Therefore, the Pope will not only support it, but even when the Games opens, the Pope will personally represent God to bless the Games.
Of course, considering that the Games itself still requires a lot of preparation, it is estimated that the entire preparation will take at least two years. Therefore, Emperor Fritz II still has enough time to make the necessary preparations.
After completing this simple and frank exchange with the Pope, Duke John did not even stay in Rome for even a second. After he left the Papal Palace in the Vatican, he immediately got on the carriage and left Rome, returning to Austria overnight.
Immediately after Metternich began to operate frantically in France, not long after that, France reached a series of cooperation agreements with Austria.
