Chapter 497: , The founding ceremony of Ireland (3)

In the following days, representatives from other countries also came to Port Carroll. Not only the allies of France, such as the Republic of Northern Italy, the Republic of the Netherlands, the Rhine Union, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Austrian Empire and the Turkish Empire all sent representatives. On the side of the Holy See, the Pope also under the crown of Pius VII Come to Ireland in person to participate in the founding ceremony of Ireland.
For the Pope, the independence of Ireland means that the territory of Catholicism in Europe has expanded. This is the first expansion of the territory of Catholicism in many years. Although there is basically no credit for the Pope in this matter, it is a bit to be able to rub a little.
In addition, the Russians, who had been neutral before, also sent observers, and they also began to contact the Irish to discuss the possibility of establishing diplomatic relations between the two sides.
Various receptions and preparations made the Union of Consent Irishmen busy. After all, they are not yet a complete government, nor do they have enough diplomatic talent reserves. Suddenly, there were so many representatives of friendly countries, and even the capitals of some countries came over. This reception task really made Russell's head bigger.
Nowadays, almost all the people in the Federation who have been to foreign countries who can speak foreign languages ​​are mobilized and used as foreign affairs receptionists, but the staff is still insufficient. Therefore, in many cases, the people participating in the reception cannot even speak foreign languages. . Moreover, their English is too strong because of the Irish taste, so some foreign guests who understand English can't understand it. That even made a lot of jokes.
However, all participating countries expressed their understanding. Of course, some guys, on the surface understandable, returned to their room and immediately mocked that the Irish really deserved to grow potatoes.
On March 3, 1813, it was finally the day of the founding ceremony of Ireland. It was sunny and cloudless. Our third grade in elementary school-ah, wrong, it was the comrades of the United Irish Federation who were in the chairperson. Under the leadership of Comrade Russell, came to the podium.
This rostrum was set up on an empty field near the No. 2 Battery. The position of the rostrum was originally a range finder attached to the No. 2 Battery. At this time, I just made some small adjustments to this place, disassembled the instruments used for distance measurement, and then set up a row of tables, a row of chairs, and a banner on it, even if it is The podium is up.
Compared with those places where other countries hold major ceremonies, such as the French Peace Palace, this rostrum is naturally a bit simpler. However, President Russell believes that Ireland is still a poor country and the Irish people have hard-won money, so if you can be frugal, you can be frugal.
In this way, the founding ceremony of Ireland is relatively simple. In Carol's words, it compares with the feeling of electing a village chief in the French countryside.
Joseph was naturally invited to the podium and sat with Pope Pius VII.
"Ah, Dean Joseph, hello." When I saw Joseph, the fat face of Pius VII was full of smiles. "It is great to be able to meet you here. This is really God's favor."
It was the first time Pius VII saw Joseph, but he was very clear about Joseph's true status in the Bonaparte family. This is not because a devout believer said it when he repented in the church, but because the Holy See now has a lot of economic contacts with the Bonaparte family.
The Holy See has accumulated amazing wealth over several centuries. These wealth can't be put there for nothing, right? However, to make this wealth run efficiently, the best way is naturally to engage in banking. However, the Catholic precept prohibits money from lending. Therefore, the Holy See itself cannot run a bank.
But the rule is dead, and people are alive. Just like back then, the Knights Templar was a Catholic organization, but it still produced the world's first multinational bank. Of course, the Knights Templar later became a heresy, but the charges of the Knights Templar becoming a heresy include all kinds of crimes, worship of the devil, blasphemy, and so on, but they didn't lend money.
Because theoretically, the Knights Templar did not lend, they just collected rent. For example, they rent you a sum of money or a piece of property, and then collect some rent. Is this a problem? Not at all. Christ did not dare to say that the rent was wrong. If he really said this, and his disciples insisted on not forgetting, then Christianity would never want to be recognized by Rome, let alone become the state religion of Rome. At most, it can become a ghost, a ghost wandering over Europe.
After the completion of the Knights Templar, the Holy See did not deny renting property and obtaining rent as a reasonable and legal means of getting rich. Since then, some large banks that have emerged in Italy, especially those of the Medici family, have the shadow of the Holy See behind them.
After the rise of the Bank of Roma, there were also many contacts with the Holy See. The Holy See entrusted a lot of money and properties to the Bank of Rome to operate, and the Bank of Rome paid the corresponding rent according to the agreement between the two parties, or acted as an industrial agent to distribute dividends to the church on time every year.
Just because the church has so many economic contacts with the Bank of Rome, the Holy See knows a lot about the internal situation of the Bonaparte family. They know that although this person rarely shows his face and has a far less sense of presence than the second and third, in this family, the silent Caesar is the one who really takes the helm.
"Under the crown, it's also my honor to see you. I'm really surprised that you will come here in person not far away. You know it is strictly a war zone. Maybe there is still some danger. "Joseph said.
"Ah, if Caesar of the Roman Empire can come here, I am an old priest, why can't I come?" Pius VII laughed, "It has been a long time since the Diocese of Ireland fell. After the War of Independence, the Holy See has been standing there. The Irish people who are pursuing freedom have also sent priests to help the Irish people. Now that the British heresy has been expelled, the parish should be re-established. How can I not come and see?"
The Irish are Catholic. But now, there are several factions within the Catholic Church. Among other things, the Catholic Church of the French Church is a heresy, and the Holy See dare not say that they are heresy. This is really...but the guys in the French church are still honest and trustworthy, and basically don't share their stories to the outside world. However, now there is a more terrible heresy under the banner of Catholicism-revolutionary theology!
Of course, most of the guys in revolutionary theology now go to America to build heaven on earth. But the European side is not completely left. This set of these guys is very inflammatory. If these guys go to Ireland and take the opportunity to make something, it will really be for the Holy See... So the Pope must quickly send the authentic Catholicism.
In addition, as far as the Pope learned, the French and Irish prepared an Irish reconstruction plan. Think about it with your back heel and you will know that there must be many opportunities to make money. Well, of course the Holy See doesn’t love money, but isn’t it more conducive to spreading the Lord’s gospel? Don’t say anything else, when the Holy Communion is going to be celebrated, the blood and flesh of Christ should be prepared~EbookFREE.me~ In the Holy Communion, the divided bread is broken to represent the flesh of Jesus; wine is used On behalf of the blood of Jesus) more people will receive blessings if they are willing to come to Mass. However, the church does not know the miracle of five fish and two loaves. Naturally, it can only be "small money, really sweet".
Therefore, it is really great for the Pope to meet Joseph here. Even the reason why the Pope didn't come far away is to talk to Joseph about some important issues.
Of course, this is not the time to talk about such things. So Joseph said to the Pope: "Under the crown, what boat did you get here? Have you got seasick on the road?"
The pope immediately understood what Joseph meant, and smiled and replied: "I came by Hurd Shipping. I shouldn't be too picky, but this boat is really not too comfortable. Especially for an old man like me. Say."
After hearing this, Joseph responded, "Mian, when the matter here is over, why don't you take my boat and let's go back together?"
