When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 1032 The Angel's Question
Just as everyone held their breath, preparing to hear Horn continue, Archbishop Campbell's calm yet resonant voice rang out.

"protest."

Quivalin, leaning on his cane, sat sideways: "What does the French Church have to say?"

"According to the original meeting agenda, the second topic was not 'creationism' or 'theocracy'."

Later, there were debates on 'theodicy' and 'whether humans have a self'.

"Your Excellency Galar, please refrain from using linguistic traps to guide the monks' thinking. If you wish to veer onto this topic, please obtain our consent through discussion."

Logically speaking, Archbishop Campbell's words were not wrong.

However, Grandiva's arguments and rebuttals on these topics are all based on the foundation of "The Good Deeds of St. Langren".

It's not that there are no other theoretical bases, but rather that once the main theoretical bases are overturned, the rest of the logic becomes invalid and needs to be re-examined.

Look at the seven remaining debaters, all chattering around Grandiva, their hair being pulled out in clumps.

What's the point of struggling anymore?
However, Campbell's goal was clear: to prevent Horn from finishing his speech and completely disrupting the flow of the conversation.

Although it's a delay, Campbell is determined to hold on!

“This is a reasonable request,” Cuyvalin said slowly. “However, I can only give you a quarter of an hour. If you do not submit a new argument within that time, we will proceed as His Majesty Galar has suggested.”

Campbell had no objection; he simply lifted his robe and walked toward Grandiva, who was on the raised platform on the other side.

Seeing Campbell walk confidently towards him, Grandiva was as excited as a dog that hadn't eaten for three days seeing hot shit.

Many of the monks present, however, disregarded this and shouted, "Put the debate aside for now, Your Majesty, please tell us what exactly is going on?"

What's with all this talk of ecumenical councils and non-ecumenical councils? If we follow this approach, theology will cease to exist!
At this moment, the elderly scholars who had previously fainted finally woke up.

The first thing they did after waking up was to struggle and push aside the students, rushing to the front of the meeting hall.

His gray hair was loose, his neat black-purple robe was disheveled, and his white shawl was slung diagonally around his neck.

Like madmen, they raised the scrolls in their hands and waved them around, roaring at Jean Bro and Horn.

“How could the Holy Lord be wrong? You must be wrong; you haven’t understood.”

"Although there are many flaws here, logic is created by the Holy Father, so why should the Holy Father follow logic?"

"The occurrence of this situation must mean that the Holy Lord foresaw the future in the past, which further proves the greatness of the Holy Lord!"

It can't be fake, it absolutely can't be fake!
Who do you think you are, Horn, to say there are falsehoods in the Gospels?
If it's really fake, then shouldn't the church and the priests cease to exist?

Then wouldn't their whole lives have been wasted?

With Horn's shovel strike, not only was Grandiva devastated, but these theologians were also devastated.

Hearing these roars coming and going, Horn listened as if they were dogs barking, and even picked at his ears.

"Could the hosts please continue?"

At this moment, Sherley stood up and said, "Please wait a moment, we will continue to communicate with the French church."

Horn could only wait and look at the crazed monks and scholars with their shifty eyes; he could only sigh.

Forged books being passed down as core texts for thousands of years is not uncommon in the history of Horn's hometown.

On the Empire's side, a thousand-year-old text was disproven by Horn and Jean-Browne in a single day. Were these two smarter than all theologians?

No!

Is it difficult to refute the reasoning in "The Life and Deeds of Saint Ran"? Is it difficult to collect the data?

For ordinary people or novice learners, it's a bit...

But for seasoned scholars, and for those with the assistance of many miracle priests, it is not difficult.

Even without the miracle priest, the academic community with a vast collection of valuable books behind them can conduct research very quickly as long as they don't work alone.

Why has the church failed to verify such a simple question for thousands of years? The reason is actually quite simple.

Because the church has not pointed out the "empirical" technology tree at all, or rather, it has not pointed out a systematic empirical technology tree!
But today's imperial scholars, when conducting research, never investigate where the truth of past texts came from; they only explain why it is correct.

How can truth be doubted? How can the sacred be desecrated?

This is why Grandiva has always been convinced that in debates, whoever has more information and is better prepared will win.

Since they are all essentially correct, it's just a matter of who is more correct; it's a competition of quantity.

The essence of debate has long since ceased to exist.

Some Sacred Wayists and radical theologians often refer to the Imperial modern debate as “two dogs barking at each other in a mud pit.”

Horn calls it "bragging theology," a competition of who can brag the most and who can win the most.

You win, but I win even more.

If you continue to ask why, it's because the existence of supernatural beings in this world allows faith to overwhelm reason.

Angels can truly descend to earth, and divine magic can truly heal diseases. Do you dare say that the scriptures are false?
Moreover, Horn was certain that someone in the history of the empire must have already discovered the suspicious points.

Among those who discovered the suspicious points, there are definitely those who dare to expose them.

But the reason they have remained silent is because they do not doubt, or even dare not doubt.

How can we doubt the truth of the Father and the Lord?

Doubt is precisely the foundation of rationalism, and reason and experience constitute the methodological basis of the scientific revolution.

What Horne wanted to do was to make the church class, which controlled the intellectuals, doubt and move from the complete agnosticism of revelation to the limited agnosticism of reason and experience.

The world is understandable!

Grandiva, on the other hand, dispersed all the debaters.

He bent down, sticking out his buttocks, and began to speak in hushed tones with Bishop Campbell.

“Bishop Campbell, this is not my fault…”

“I know it’s not your fault, it’s just that Horn is too, too difficult.” Bishop Campbell’s forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat.

"Then now..."

“Shut up and listen to me,” Campbell interrupted. “First of all, you are the Pope. You must establish your faith. If you lose your faith, will everyone really believe what Horn says?”

Secondly, while Horn's actions may seem to have undermined our foundation, they were actually driven by passion, causing him to forget the most important thing—the monks.

Horn has put the monks on the complete opposite side, unless... well, there is no unless!
You must stand with the monks against Horn, understand?

Finally, regarding the issue of retaliation, you only need to ask one question—just one question—to completely refute him!

"what?"

Just as Horn was feeling bored, a bell suddenly rang out, drowning out all the noise.

"It's noon." Quivalin tapped the ground heavily with his cane, giving the monks a disdainful look. "Lord Grandiva, is there anything else you wish to say?"

"We have no objections to this topic, except for one last point, which is unrelated to the topic of the debate, but concerns this book of analytical studies. I wonder if Your Excellency Horn could answer that?"

"Given your level, I encourage you to ask."

Grandiva's eye twitched. He had never seen such an arrogant person in his life, and he almost blurted out "password".

However, seeing Campbell's gloomy face beside him, he forced himself to suppress it and smiled with a kind and benevolent expression:

"My question is, since the 'Biography of St. Langley' is a forgery, why doesn't God reveal it or send down angels to correct it?"
