Nok did not expect that he had just offended the current pope, and he would almost offend the next pope again.
Is there anyone as wild as Nock Lane?
He actually caught the Pope specifically to offend him!
Nok feels miserable!
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Archbishop. Nok is a newbie here and he is so blind that he doesn't even recognize the Archbishop in person.
Please forgive me, Archbishop. "
Knock put on a frightened posture and apologized to Archbishop Doug.
Seeing Nok like this, Archbishop Doug didn't know what to say.
After all, as everyone said, it is understandable that people don't recognize him as the archbishop when they first arrive.
Therefore, it is not easy for him to trouble Nok with this matter.
However, it does not mean that Nok can fool him with his previous accusations.
"Bishop Ryan, you haven't answered my question yet! Why are you so disrespectful to His Majesty the Pope?"
Faced with the archbishop's questioning, Knock straightened up and replied in a neither humble nor haughty tone:
"Reply to the Archbishop. I have already paid homage to His Majesty the Pope according to the rites within the church.
I don't know what's wrong? Why is there not enough etiquette? "
"Why don't you kneel down and worship?" the archbishop pressed.
Nok asked strangely: "Why do you have to kneel down and worship? The Holy Lord teaches us that anyone who joins my church,
We are all brothers and sisters, and our status is equal, no distinction is made between superior and inferior. Since they are all brothers and sisters,
Why do you need to kneel down and worship? "
Archbishop Doug did not expect that Nock would answer him with words from the Bible. (Note 1)
The Pope and others were dazzled by Nok's answer.
Although Archbishop Doug was surprised by Knock's answer, as an archbishop,
Naturally, it is impossible to lose to Knock in terms of his attainments in the Bible.
He immediately said: "Although the Holy Lord said that all people in the church are brothers and sisters, there is no distinction between high and low status.
However, there are high and low positions in the church. Therefore, there are high and low positions within the church.
As a subordinate, it is also appropriate for you to salute His Majesty the Pope.
Your Majesty is the spokesperson of the Holy Lord in the world. Respect Your Majesty as you respect the Holy Lord.
What's wrong with kneeling down and worshiping? "
Nok was immediately happy. He looked at the Archbishop and retorted calmly: "The Archbishop's words are wrong!
If I can’t kneel before the Holy Lord, why should I kneel before His Majesty the Pope? "
Archbishop Doug said dissatisfied: "You can't kneel down and worship when you see the statue of the Holy Lord?"
"Of course." Nok replied with a smile.
Archbishop Doug said angrily: "You are so bold! You think it is worth showing off for something so disrespectful to the Holy Lord!"
Knock asked loudly: "May I ask the Archbishop,
Do you usually respect the Holy Lord with awe only when you see the statue of the Holy Lord?
Don’t you respect the Holy Lord if you can’t see the Holy Lord’s statue?
No longer remember the teachings of the Holy Bishop? "
Facing Knock’s question, Archbishop Doug replied in a panic: “Of course not!
I worship the Holy Lord all the time! "
Nok laughed: "If the Archbishop is the same as me, why would he ask such ridiculous questions.
My respect for the Holy Lord lies in my heart and not in my body.
Because the Holy Lord is in my heart and is with me.
Therefore, I can pray to the Holy Lord anytime and anywhere.
Although I am not the Holy Lord, but the Holy Lord is me, why do I need to kneel down to express my respect? "
Faced with Nok's sophistry, everyone was speechless.
Expressions vary.
The archbishop was even more speechless.
Although he knew that Nok was sophistry, he could not find the words to refute.
Knock continued: "I respect His Majesty the Pope in my heart, why should I express it in my body?
I have saluted His Majesty and expressed the respect in my heart.
Why do we have to kneel down and salute to show our respect?
If I disrespect His Majesty the Pope in my heart, can kneeling cover up the fact that I am disrespectful in my heart?
But I respect Your Majesty in my heart. Wouldn’t it be disrespectful if I didn’t kneel down?
The archbishop, several other lords, and even the knight just now did not kneel down to see His Majesty the Pope.
Don’t you, in your hearts, respect His Majesty the Pope? "
Faced with Nok's attack, Doug naturally couldn't admit it.
Otherwise, doesn't it mean that they don't respect His Majesty the Pope?
He didn't know what the other people were thinking, but he didn't dare to think that way.
Otherwise, no one will respect him when he becomes pope.
"Bah bang bang!"
The pope applauded and came to the rescue of his successor.
Otherwise, if he is refuted by Nok, it will be difficult for Doug to control Nok Lane in the future.
This kid is a bit unruly!
"Well, good respect lies in the heart and not in the form."
The Pope stepped down directly from the throne.
When he came to Nok, he looked at Nok carefully for a few times.
Then he said: "Although there is nothing wrong with your point of view, it is a bit inappropriate for the church.
If we clergy cannot express our respect for the Holy Lord in words, then those believers,
And the lost people who have not yet become believers, how do they know that the Holy Lord knows that they respect and believe in Him?
Without our praise and singing, how can outsiders know the greatness of the Holy Lord? "
The Pope reached out and patted Nok's shoulder, put his hand on Nok's shoulder, and said deeply:
"So, young man, preaching is never something to work hard on.
You need to publicize it and let others know,
Only then will others be attracted by your propaganda, listen to your preaching, and be taught by you.
Then understand our teachings, become a believer, and join us,
Together we can make this world what the Holy Lord wants it to be.
Do you understand it? "
There was something in the Pope's words, and Knock understood it immediately and didn't dare to be stubborn.
Otherwise, it would be a bit ignorant of current affairs.
Nok nodded to show that he understood.
The Pope then released his grip on Nok's shoulders and looked down with satisfaction at Rusty, who came in without saying a word.
"I heard from the messenger in front that this child is your daughter? This is not acceptable.
Our church clearly stipulates that you are not allowed to take a wife. "
Nok, who was secretly moving his pinched shoulder, quickly explained after hearing this: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood.
This is my goddaughter. He was an orphan I met on a desert island, and he was also my savior.
Therefore, I adopted her and taught her personally. Although she is five years old today,
But the understanding of the outside world is not as good as that of a one-year-old child. So, I didn’t mean to bring her into the palace on purpose.
It’s really that there is no one around Nok who can entrust the child to..."
"Okay, I'm not blaming you. I just want to remind you that if you don't want to be criticized and framed, then pay attention.
After all, a goddaughter and a daughter are two different things. It’s better to make a distinction. Don't let this delay your future. "
The pope advised kindly.
Unexpectedly, Nok suddenly retorted: "No, I think this is not good.
If my future is to be exchanged for destroying a child's childhood and future,
Then I would rather not.
Whether it's a goddaughter or an adopted daughter, to me, they are all biological daughters.
I don’t want this child to come back and ask me one day: Dad, others say I am not your biological child.
You picked it up, is this true? Am I really a wild child? "
When Nok said this, he looked at the Pope and other big guys with a sad face: "Do you think, at that time,
How should I answer? "
"Am I going to tell this kid that everything others say is right just for the sake of a so-called future?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know what your options are. But I, Nock Lane, can't do it!
I was thrown at the door of a convent when I was born, and it was the nuns who picked me up.
Raise me up and teach me knowledge and principles of life.
I grew up with nuns and read church scriptures that lead people to do good.
What he studied was the Bible and theology.
The nuns never told me that I was an unwanted wild child just because I was an orphan.
On the contrary, each of them is not my mother, but they are my mother in my heart.
Even if they had to leave the monastery and me in the end.
But I still don't feel like I'm an orphan, because I still have old Sister Meili to depend on me.
Later Father John came and our monastery became lively again.
In the following years, even if the old nun died of illness, as more and more children were adopted,
Although we living in the monastery are not related by blood, we are not estranged, but have become family. "
“So, this child has been my family and she has been my family since I took her off the island.
She is my daughter, it doesn't matter whether you think she is my adopted daughter, goddaughter, or biological daughter.
Even if I give up my current position as bishop, I can take her back to Reims Cathedral and raise her up.
If I can’t become a bishop, can I still be a believer or a trainee priest?
Come to think of it, the church would never try to rob us and drive our father and daughter out of Reims Cathedral, right? "
Nock's words made the Pope somewhat unable to step down.
But as Nock said, if he abandons his current status at all costs,
The church really couldn't do anything about him.
After all, he just gave up his status, not betraying the church or violating canon rules.
It’s almost like automatic retirement.
The church really can't punish him.
Reims Cathedral is the personal property of Knock Lane.
If people go back to live, what can the church do?
Otherwise, build a new church in Reims.
Otherwise, come forward and rent someone else's church.
No matter which one, it will not affect how others raise their children.
For the sake of a child, a potential church talent or even a future pillar is lost.
Only a fool would do it!
Naturally, the Pope would not force Knock for Rusty.
But being contradicted by Nok so shamelessly made him somewhat unable to step down.
He wanted to teach Nok a lesson, but someone spoke up.
"Okay, stop scaring this junior. It's not easy for me to like a junior.
I was scared away by you, please pay me!
Little Nok, bring your daughter up quickly and let Ancestor have a look. "
Fiona spoke, and the Pope could only give up his plan to punish Nok in frustration.
When Nok heard Fiona speak, he finally confirmed that this girl was actually the mother-in-law from yesterday.
Suddenly, he pulled Rusty awkwardly and looked at Fiona.
"Grandma Fiona? You look like this..."
Fiona couldn't help but blush when she remembered Nok's idea at the beginning.
He said with a sneer: "Oh, this look and the look yesterday are not my true face.
I am not a human being, my appearance is all imaginary. So he often takes on various forms.
You also saw it yesterday. As soon as I appeared on the stage, these grandsons fell to their knees and didn't even dare to say anything more.
I want to see some truth, so naturally I have to change my appearance to something they don't recognize.
But don’t worry, Ancestor didn’t take advantage of you. In terms of age, as long as you are a member of the church,
They are all the descendants of the ancestors.
Ancestor did not lie to you. "
Nok shook his head and said calmly: "There is no need to explain, mother-in-law, and Nok has no plot against her.
We met by chance. Nok just felt that her mother-in-law was friendly, so she meddle a little more. "
"By the way, Rusty, this is Granny Fiona. You can call her Granny, or you can call her Ancestor."
Rusty blinked and looked at Fiona in front of him,
Suddenly he said "Yeah", broke away from Nok's hand, rushed towards Fiona, and hugged Fiona's legs.
"Feifei!"
"Note 1: I solemnly state again: The Bible in this book has nothing to do with the real Bible, so do not match the real content. It will not match."
