Chapter 300: Reformation (3)
"Thank you for your long journey, Father."
"I’m so happy that I can finally explain the theology I’ve spent years researching to you, my lord. I’ve come without feeling tired at all."
Last time, when the Pope started selling indulgences, he looked like he wanted to crack open the heads of the priests right then and there.
But now, he’s wearing a very gentle smile.
It would be rude to say this directly, but how should I put it...
It feels like I’m looking at a living Buddha who has attained enlightenment.
"So, have you finally finished organizing the contents of your new theology?"
Father Stefano nodded, affirming my words.
"Yes, now I can face the church of Deus, which has become nothing more than a servant of Satan, in an open and fair battle."
"You’ve worked hard."
"Without your support, my lord, who saved me from the corrupt priests who tried to kill me and allowed me to study theology as I desired, none of this would have been possible."
Although I may be a person tangled in worldly matters, I am not someone who fails to respect clergy like Father Stefano, who serve only for the public good.
