On this side of Angel Town.

Arno became the true bishop of the Church of Christ from the acting bishop.

Furthermore, Arnold received a papal investiture.

It was given the title of "saint".

The holy name is not a name, but the crown of virtue.

Although becoming a bishop was already a foregone conclusion.

But it hasn't been issued yet.

Arnold felt uncomfortable every day.

Now he has not only become a bishop, but also a saint.

Now, Arno, no, Saint Arno, can rightfully add the word "Saint" before his name.

This is a tremendous honor for Christianity!
It is far more noble than anything like a cardinal.

Those who are alive and given a holy name.

It can be said that there are very few of them.

Because only after a person dies can their life be definitively judged.

However, a very small number of people are able to be given a holy name before they die.

However, in later generations...

Whether it's a genuine miracle or a person's character truly deserving of canonization.

The church will only confer a holy name on a person after their death.

Because during the Middle Ages, there were instances of people being canonized.

Some people discovered that the so-called miracle was fake, which damaged the reputation of the Vatican.

In addition, some people were given saintly names.

Then they began to behave indecently and engage in various behaviors that violated religious doctrine.

None of this is what the Vatican wants to see.

So after various experiences.

Regardless of a person's background, they can only be consecrated a saint's name after death.

But now it is the Middle Ages.

It is extremely rare for someone to be given a holy name during their lifetime.

But it’s not like nothing.

Before Saint Arno, the one who was not given a saintly name was Saint Louis.

That is, the holy magician who is now on the opposite side of the Holy See.

This caused the Vatican to deeply regret its actions.

Why was he canonized so early?
And then there's Arnold's side.

In fact, the Vatican had been debating the canonization of Arnold for a long time.

“Father Arno is a man who has neither performed any miracles nor done anything noble.”

"Why should he be granted the title of saint? Even after his death, he is not qualified to be sainted."

"Not to mention canonization during one's lifetime, I object!"

Many cardinals wondered, "Who is Arno?"

He was just a lucky priest.

It's hard to say whether he can be canonized after death.

Not to mention being canonized during his lifetime.

But another group of people think...

"He is the one who witnessed the descent of angels and received divine revelation from God."

"If someone like this isn't canonized, I don't know who is."

“That’s an angel, someone you can meet with anytime.”

"If any of you can do it, you can also be canonized."

The other cardinal felt...

Arno is now their only bridge to communicate with the angels.

If they could get angels to join their church.

For the Vatican, it is entirely beneficial.

It can enhance the prestige of the Papacy and prove its legitimacy.

This is how people can receive direct revelation from angels.

They were all pivotal figures in history.

Some even became prophets because of this.

So it's just a holy name, and some cardinals think they can just grant it.

The final result is.

Arnold became Saint Arnold.

The final decision was made by Pope Gregory X.

“I have my own considerations.” This was after Gregory X met Audrey, a member of the Order of Our Lady.

The Pope thought about many things.

He also discussed it at length with the old cardinals in the College of Cardinals.

How exactly should we deal with the people of the Church of Our Lady?

First, we must adopt an absolutely tough stance. We must regard the other party as a heretic and eliminate them at any cost.

Just like how other heretics were treated in history.

This is a tactic that the Vatican has consistently used.

However, this particular meeting of Our Lady is a little special.

Angels stand in support of the Society of Our Lady.

Who are angels? They are messengers of God.

If we oppose the Church of Our Lady, wouldn't that be indirectly opposing God?
This is something they don't want to encounter.

Even if they wanted to forcibly eliminate the other side.

Will the angels in Angel Town intervene?
If they were to intervene, would they be able to defeat them?
Secondly, there is the policy of appeasement.

They directly incorporated the Society of Our Lady into the Vatican.

Let them coexist as branches of Christianity.

Use time to slowly digest and break down the other party.

Let them integrate into the Papacy.

In later generations, distinctions arose between Eastern Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Protestantism, and so on.

Therefore, bringing the other party directly into the picture may not necessarily be a bad thing.

The plan was later finalized.

First, win over Arnold.

The only clergy member who can see angels.

Canonization is merely a way to curry favor with the angels.

Let the angels know their attitude and stance.

This indirectly shows that their Vatican recognizes Arno and the angel behind him.

Otherwise, they would choose the first option.

If we just stubbornly stick to it to the end.

They could simply declare Arnold a heretic, a cultist.

Angel Town is actually Devil Town.

The creature inside is a demon, not an angel at all.

As long as Pope Gregory X dares to make such a declaration.

With the current power of the Papacy.

Many people will distance themselves from Angel Town.

I feel like I've been deceived by the devil.

But to make such an announcement would be tantamount to turning against the angels.

If they fail, the Roman Catholic Church will be doomed.

Speaking of it.

In fact, the Albi Crusade had a legitimate cause.

Because the original Albi Crusade began in the city of Albi.

For this reason, they were known to the world as the Albi Crusade.

The Albi Crusades initially called themselves the Cleansers.

They were later categorized as members of the Cleanliness faction.

They oppose church corruption and all actions that violate doctrine.

The depravity and corruption of the advanced Vatican are intolerable.

I think the Vatican is doomed if things continue like this.

So they began to form the Albi Crusade.

Raymond VI and his followers also used this name to launch their rebellion.

To put it another way, everyone should be very familiar with it.

That's what's often depicted in Chinese TV dramas as "purging the emperor's inner circle of cronies."

When some people want to rebel, they will say that the emperor is incompetent and foolish.

Those below them must diligently serve the king and purge the court of corrupt officials.

It's basically the same principle.

And from the first Albi Crusade onwards.

The Inquisition was established.

The Inquisition was established to eliminate heresy.

Those heretics were the Albi Crusades of the Cleansers.

Because the Cleans were considered by the Pope at the time to be...

A heresy more dangerous than Islam.

Such heresy must not be tolerated.

This marks a shift in Christianity from "external jihad" to "internal purification."

However, Pope Gregory X now finds himself unable to directly suppress the Albi Crusade led by the Order of Our Lady using ruthless methods.

Even when he personally led the presiding judge, they were still unable to defeat the other side.

This shows that the other side has already gained considerable influence.

This is without the angels intervening. (End of Chapter)
