Chapter 317: , Revolutionary Theological Seminary

Before dawn, Father Mikel Hidalgo Costia got up as usual to prepare for his sermon. Father Hidalgo is a white native of Mexico. In Mexico, people are hierarchical. The first class are the so-called "Peninsulas", that is, the "authentic Spaniards" born on the Iberian Peninsula. They are the real masters of Mexico, controlling the high-level churches and the high-level government, controlling large tracts of land, and possessing various interests.
The second class is the so-called "native whites". They are also called "creos", that is, white people born in the Spanish colony. They are also Spaniards in theory, just like the authentic Peninsulars. But in fact it is not the case.
After the Spaniards occupied Mexico, they killed a large number of natives and sent a large number of paupers from the Iberian Peninsula to the Americas. Pauper women who can travel across oceans are relatively rare. As a result, there is a natural shortage of women in Mexico.
If this problem is not resolved, the Mexican colony will not be able to last for long. The solution to this problem is actually relatively simple, that is, kill Indian men and take their women. The problem was resolved smoothly. In Mexico, the Indian population continued to decline and the white population continued to rise. But these white people often have an Indian mother or Indian grandmother.
Therefore, in the eyes of the authentic pure-blooded "Peninsulas", although the native whites are nominally white, they are not pure enough. They brought the humble "Muggle" blood and became the low-level "mudbloods." .
Therefore, although they are still legally recognized as Spaniards and whites, "native whites" are generally excluded from the high-level institutions of the church and the state. All industrial and commercial activities that compete with the sovereign state (such as textile workshops, vineyards, olive groves, lending, etc.) are also prohibited.
The third class is the Indians with fewer numbers. They have the lowest status and many of them are slaves. In addition, the taxes they bear are also higher than other levels.
As a result, the "native whites" felt that they had become the subject of oppression. They felt that if they ran from the Old World to the New World, they would still be bullied by the noble lords.
In the old world, the noble lords and priests bullied us; when we went to the new world, the noble lords and priests still paid for us. Then we came to the new world in vain?
This hierarchy, in Joseph's words, still has a positive meaning. And the biggest positive meaning is to prove one point: "Human stupidity can reach such an astonishing level!"
When discussing the colonization plan in North America, Joseph said to his brothers:
"Originally, in politics, a basic principle should be to unite more people to deal with our enemies. To put it more clearly, we must try our best to bring all those who can bring us down. , To make many of our people and make few of the enemy's people.
But what about the fool in Spain? Native whites are naturally the political fellow travelers of the Spaniards, but the Spaniards just put them down. As a result, all native whites became enemies of Spain. It's strange that there is no problem with their rule! "
Since the Spanish ate jujube pills under the rule of the Americas, it would be cheaper for others than for France. Therefore, although France and Spain are allies, the Bonaparte brothers still feel that if they don't take the opportunity to cheat the Spaniards, they are really sorry for the stupid posture the Spaniard has made.
On the other hand, although the situation in France is good today, with the rapid increase in production capacity, market capacity has gradually tightened. In order to pass on the contradictions, the restless elements in the country and even in the European continent are sent out. Lucien formulated a plan called the "ideal country". He intends to trick those domestic guys into Louisiana and let them realize their ideals there. This can be regarded as a disaster.
This plan later added the use of Indians to disrupt the "City on the Hill". So in order to make a difference with the "city on the hill", the project was renamed "God's Tabernacle".
Those restless factors, under the deliberate guidance of the "Ministry of Truth", really bought a lot of land just north of Louisiana and set up their "God's Tabernacle." Like all religions based on the Abraham series, the "revolutionary theology" sect also has a high missionary enthusiasm. In their doctrines, the explanation of Saint Paul's mission to Rome is as follows:
"Walking with the cross is to take the salvation of the entire mankind, that is, the liberation of the entire mankind as our goal. Of course, we can first establish a city-state in the New World where everyone is equal, free from oppression and enslavement. But just satisfied This is not enough. Everyone is a part of the world, and every brother in the world has not been redeemed or liberated, that is, we have not been completely redeemed and liberated. A true Christian can only get all human beings. Only when he is saved and liberated can he be truly liberated. This is why the Saint Paul took the risk to spread the gospel to Rome."
So the pastors of "Revolutionary Theology" used Louisiana as their base to spread their doctrines everywhere. They even established a "Liberation Theological Seminary" in Hope City, a settlement in today's Nebraska.
Hidalgo received training in theology at Valladolid Theological Seminary in Spain and obtained a master's degree in theology. Then he returned to Mexico, ready to continue his priesthood. On the way back, he met a pastor of "liberation theology", and the two had a dispute over some theological issues. Hidalgo felt that the priest named Benjamin was a cursed heresy, so he couldn't help but attacked Pastor Benjamin with vicious words.
Unexpectedly, Pastor Benjamin laughed. He said to Hidalgo: "Pastor Hidalgo, I understand why you are so excited, because what I said is what you have already felt. You are not opposed to me, you are opposed to your own inner voice. Okay, I am not at peace. You've argued, it's getting late, and I can't stay up late. If you are still interested in theological issues in the future, you can knock on my door. Well, I'm in the cabin next door."
Pastor Benjamin would go to sleep in his cabin, and Hidalgo was lying in his bed too, but couldn't sleep. Benjamin no longer argued with Hidalgo. But Hidalgo continued to argue with Pastor Benjamin in his own heart.
In this argument, Hidalgo lost a terrible defeat, he was rebutted by the pastor Benjamin in his heart, and he was stunned and even furious. At one point, the idea of ​​"pick up the knife and go to the next door to kill that Satan" came up.
For several days thereafter, Hidalgo hid in his cabin, not leaving the cabin or talking with anyone except to eat. In this way, he locked himself in the cabin for a week, and it was not until the ship was approaching America that Hidalgo stepped out of his cabin and knocked on the door of Pastor Benjamin's cabin.
According to Hidalgo's original itinerary, he should have taken a boat to the port of Altamira. But this time, he went ashore in New Orleans with Pastor Benjamin, and then changed to another inland sailing boat, and went upstream along the Mississippi River to Liberation Theological Seminary in City of Hope.
In Liberation Theological Seminary, Hidalgo stayed for two months, but these two months had a profound impact on him. According to his own words, in the "Liberation Theological Seminary", he really knew God and the truth for the first time. The fog that had been in front of his eyes soon dissipated, and everything in this world seemed clear and clear.
More than two months later, Hidalgo returned to Mexico. With a master's degree from Valladolid Theological Seminary, he successfully obtained the status of a parish priest in the Diocese of Dolores. Became the head of the entire Catholic Diocese of Dolores.
This is also the highest position that "Native born whites" can achieve in the church.
There are many Indians who have converted to Catholicism in the Diocese of Dolores, as well as some "native whites" of Indian descent. But neither as a Muggle Indian nor as a "native white" as a mudblood has a hard time. The land here is not considered fertile, and the harvest of corn and other crops is not good. The taxes collected by the Spaniards here are quite high.
In fact, the climate characteristics of the Dolores area are quite suitable for growing crops such as grapes and olives. But in order to ensure that Spanish wine and olive oil can be sold at high prices in Mexico ~ EbookFREE.me ~ throughout Mexico, the cultivation of grapes and olives is prohibited.
So Father Hidalgo used his identity and status to help these Indians and "native whites" get grapes and olives, help them make wine and extract oil, and then sell them through underground channels.
These practices have benefited many local people, and Father Hidalgo has gradually gained the love of the locals. More and more people come to hear his sermon every day. Following this opportunity, Father Hidalgo gradually added some "revolutionary theology" while preaching. And these contents made the Indians and the poor native white people feel that he was his caring person. Today, more and more people are united by Father Hidalgo.
Father Hidalgo organized the Indians and native whites who grew grapes and olives to form a "mutual aid society" and began to hoard weapons through some underground channels on the grounds of "counting smuggling teams."
Today is the day of the preaching mission, and Father Hidalgo was prepared very early. But he knew that it would take a while before anyone would come. But at this time, there was a rush of horseshoes outside the church.
