Guo Kang really didn't have much hope for his theological level, so he had to work with Zhu Wenkui to appease Jeanne.
When several people nearby saw her like this, they all asked Li Xuanying, who could speak Chinese. Li Xuanying said that this was a dispute caused by religious issues, so everyone should not pay attention and just continue to prepare artillery.
Religious disputes might be a big problem in other places, but a few people here are already used to it. After hearing this, Jessica just looked at the little girl who was said to be a princess with sympathy, made the sign of the cross, and left quickly.
"I didn't mean it." Guo Kang tried to explain: "I have always heard people say that theology and science are opposed, and philosophy is also the target of theological oppression..."
"Who told you?" Jeanne was furious: "There are so many different ideas in the church, and most people don't care about them at all. Who stipulates that you can't study philosophy, especially natural philosophy? Religion The court is not as strict as you."
"Didn't you say, 'Philosophy is the handmaiden of theology' or something?" Guo Kang said weakly.
"That's Bishop Damian's point of view - you actually know this sentence." Jeanna was slightly surprised: "Then do you know the background and intention of what he said?"
"Well……"
"Are you aware of the concept of the Seven Arts, the church-driven cathedral schools, and the revival of liberal arts education?" she asked.
"ah……"
Guo Kang may have heard about it a little bit, but he really hasn't thought about it.
"Do you know about the 'first scholastic philosopher' Anselmo and his proof of the ontology of the Father? Do you know about Damian's active Gemma doctrine and de-secularization ideas? Do you know why there were anti-Arians at that time? Stotarianism?"
"this……"
This is beyond Guo Kang's knowledge.
"Then do you know Latin Averroism? Do you know the theory of double truth? Have you read the extension of this discussion by Dr. Thomas Aquinas? Knowing these theories and dialectical analysis methods, you have a good understanding of the Neoplaton and Augustan of that era. Is it the influence of Dingism?" Jeanne blurted out a lot of nouns again.
"Ah..." This time it was Guo Kang's turn to have a big headache.
"Hey, the mass-produced waste of the Sorbonne is worthy of you calling me master." Jeanne let out a long breath, and also looked down on the theological scholars of the University of Paris.
"He hasn't seen it at all. You can't blame him." Seeing that Guo Kang had been dumbfounded, Zhu Wenkui quickly said, "Actually, I don't understand this either."
"Then why are you talking about theology?" Jeanne said helplessly: "I know why he feels guilty."
"Isn't it because the idea is too heretical?" Zhu Wenkui asked.
"You are talking about heresy in the purple tent again." Jeanne said speechlessly: "Moreover, the real heretics will not feel guilty - those heretics all have their own theories, and each of them is very confident and believes that their own ideas That's the truth. Look, he's not at this level."
"Is that so?" Zhu Wenkui obviously didn't understand either.
"This is no longer a problem with heretics or heretics, or even unbelievers and cultists." Jeanna judged: "He just doesn't take God seriously at all."
"Ah, this...does a gentleman respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance?" Zhu Wenkui started to joke and tried to deal with it: "When offering sacrifices, just be sincere. You don't have to worry about them every day, right?"
"Why are you laughing? You are the same!" Jeanne scolded.
"Well……"
"I asked him so many questions, and he would answer 'Ah'." Jeanna looked resentful and turned to look at Guo Kang: "Do I still need to ask you for this kind of answer? I can ask Nurhachi. Got the same answer.”
She patted the wild boar next to her and said, "Do you understand what I'm talking about?"
"Humph——?" Nurhachi was suddenly struck down and turned back in confusion, looking a little confused.
"Look." Jeanne spread her hands: "The answer is about the same complexity. It has a few more syllables."
"..."
Guo Kang was shocked to be identified as having the same level of theology as Nurhachi.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry about it." Zhu Wenkui tried to mediate: "It's not Mr. Guo's fault. Normally, you don't need these things, right?"
"I'm really confused as to why it's not needed." Jeanne said bluntly: "In my impression, the number of fanatic believers in Orthodox areas is actually no less than that of the Roman Catholic Church and the Tianfang Sect. Moreover, because of the official decline and decline of the Eastern Empire, With the increase in foreign invasions, the scale of private fanatic organizations is actually quite large. During the original civil war, those people were still entrenched in Thessaly for a long time, and the Greek dynasty itself was unable to do anything to them."
"If I remember correctly, the civil war that led to the takeover of Zizhang was largely due to religious reasons, right?" she said.
"I have also heard Mr. Greece talk about this." Zhu Wenkui nodded: "There were two popular sects at that time. One was the 'Silent Sect' of the Orthodox tradition, which tended to be ascetic and mystical. It hoped to connect with heaven through special rituals and prayers. Communicate directly with the Father and see the Holy Light, the incarnation of the Father.”
"The other is the Valaam sect, which developed under the influence of scholasticism in Western Europe. Valaam is from southern Italy. His theological ideas pursue rationality and logic and do not recognize the existence of the Holy Light. Therefore, the two sides have always been in conflict. "
"John VI was a highly educated man, a traditional Orthodox believer, a Quietist, and had published some theological papers. Several important figures on John V's side were supporters of Valaam. Finally, in The accumulation of various conflicts led to a fight between the two officials."
"I remember that correctly." Jeanne said, "So, the Greeks at that time, like believers in other places, should have attached great importance to religious concepts."
"These two sects have now declined. Now I think the mainstream theological theory is already this... uh..." Zhu Wenkui thought for a moment and said: "This is the God-worshipping sect."
"I just remembered. Doesn't their sect have a Greek name?" Jeanne discovered a problem.
"No. Zizhang's official theology has never had a formal name, it's just called 'Church'." Zhu Wenkui nodded: "Mr. Greece said that he didn't know what it should be called. At present, everyone uses the common Chinese name, so just It’s called ‘God Worship Cult’.”
"To be honest, I'm still a little surprised that the Greeks don't care about this anymore." Jeanna was amazed: "What on earth have you done to them in the past few decades..."
"Hey, what the hell, this is all in the past." Zhu Wenkui was obviously not interested in these topics: "What the hell, let's just help Mr. Guo keep Brother Steam Tian."
"That's right." Guo Kang looked at Jeanne and thought of a better way: "Otherwise, Princess, please help me find a better theology for this... our equipment and so on. explain?"
"Yes, aren't you an expert?" Zhu Wenkui clapped his hands and agreed: "Mr. Guo is afraid that people will say that we are not religious, so we might as well establish a sect directly, so that we can no longer say anything about us."
"That's not more heresy... forget it." Jeanne wanted to refute, but after looking at the two of them, she probably wasn't someone who would consider heresy, so she had no choice but to say: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"It's easy to handle. Just listen to me." Zhu Wenkui already had an idea and arranged: "Didn't my father just send a group of people recently, waiting for our feedback? Every time at this time, it's the same He happens to have no work and the most leisure time."
"Is it a lack of work or a lack of work..." Guo Kang muttered after thinking about Zhu Yunwen's deeds.
"At this time, we go to him to get a seal, and then tell others that this is the official religion of the exiled government of King Wu of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Wenkui was in high spirits and ignored him: "When the time comes, let Master Huang, Master Qi can just choose a name and write a few announcements, and our sect will be established."
"After it's established, it doesn't matter whether anyone believes in it or not. Look, don't the funds just come?" He looked at the two of them: "Religion and diplomacy are both taken care of. Those Greek women can check it out if they want. By then, even if you try to find any loopholes, you won’t be able to find any.”
"Oh, the prince is so smart, I didn't expect it at all!" Guo Kang was overjoyed and looked at Jeanne again: "Well, Princess, you have a high level of theology. When you need to use the doctrine to fool them... No, you are promoting it to them. When the time comes, we can rely on you."
Jeanne looked a little confused, and Guo Kang quickly added: "How about we let you be the leader? Then ask King Wu to give you an official title or something. He is happy, and so are we. Why not do it? ?”
"What's the use of the official position he gave me..." Looking at the attitudes of the two of them, Jeanne had no choice but to agree: "Okay, okay, I'll help you. But I have to say it, and you have to listen to me in this regard from now on. Mine. Don't give random orders or talk nonsense, you two."
"Don't worry." Guo Kang also patted his chest and promised: "When the time comes, I promise to talk less than Nurhachi."
"Yes, you have the final say." Zhu Wenkui also nodded quickly: "As long as you keep Brother Tian, we will believe whatever you want."
"Okay, then I have no choice but to agree." Jeanne finally nodded.
"Finally safe!" Guo Kang was extremely moved. According to Greek custom, he grabbed her clothes and kissed her, almost picking her up: "Princess Jeanne, you are my saint!"
"You...what are you doing!" Jeanne blushed: "Get out of the way."
"He was just too excited." Zhu Wenkui said with a smile: "Oh, I can understand it too. This is indeed the mentality when we look at our results."
"Yes. I..." Guo Kang nodded repeatedly.
He was about to say something more when he noticed the sound of the horse snorting next to him. Looking around, I found that Li Xuanying and the soldiers had gone somewhere.
Guo Kang quickly turned around and saw Theodora riding on the horse, leaning down to look at him.
"Are you also studying weapons?" She said with a frown, staring at Guo Kang's hand still holding Jeanne's sleeve.
