Chapter 531
The plaza in front of the Peregrine Cathedral, a place always crowded with visitors from all around the world, was currently experiencing an entirely different level of popularity.
“Please stay within this line!”
“Move in an orderly fashion, please!”
Not only the area around the cathedral, which was so packed it was impossible to move properly without the guidance of the priests, the streets leading to and around the plaza were all equally flooded with people. It was almost as if the entire city was at capacity.
And that wasn’t happening only within the vicinity of the cathedral either.
“Wow... even this place is packed like this?”
“Well, it’s not being broadcast on TV, so what options do they have?”
In the branches of the Pilgrimage Church across the world, countless believers had gathered. Because the inauguration speech of the second pope wasn’t being broadcast publicly, shown solely through live coverage on church sites, everyone had left their homes to gather at their local branches.
“This is hell...”
“Please just wrap it up already...”
Tens of millions of people across branches numbering a mere four hundred. Naturally, governments from various countries as well as associations and civilians expressed concern—no one, however, outright criticized it.
They all knew just how much the Pilgrimage Church sacrificed for the sake of humanity. Also, more than anything else, the Church was an organization led by the Pilgrim himself and Lee Se-Hoon as Pope and Grand Archbishop, respectively.
