When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

#237 - If you pray too much, you will doubt the scriptures.

"What we are pursuing is the origin, which is also recorded in 'The First Cause of Creation'. If a mother gives birth to a child, can we say that she created the child?"

"If we continue to pursue it this way, what is the meaning of Misella and the Holy Tree's existence? Wouldn't that be denying the meaning of the Holy Trinity?"

"This is not denying the Holy Trinity. As the Patriarch said, the Holy Trinity is a dynamic process. In the process of tracing back, our world must have come from nothing at some point..."

Sitting against the wall on a chair for listeners, Mitene originally thought he would hear some magical heresies, but unexpectedly it was a formal theological debate.

Although these words were original in their thinking and difficult for the older generation of bishops to accept.

But even Mitene, who came from a proper seminary, couldn't find any major faults.

"Your Excellency Mitene, I am not from a seminary. Does this seem like 'Doubtful Scripture' to you?"

Martial lowered his voice and spoke in a very subtle tone.

Hearing Martial's question, Mitene did not answer immediately, but listened for a while before blinking his eyes.

It really was 'Doubtful Scripture'.

The so-called 'Doubtful Scripture', also known as 'Apocrypha', is to correct and explain the lost or erroneous parts of the 'Annotations of the Gospels' based on textual research and comparison of ancient books.

This kind of " Doubtful Scripture" arose around 1066 of the Imperial Calendar, when the A grass-like symbol, likely representing a military unit warriors who returned from the Western Expedition of the Royal Court brought back a large number of lost technologies and books.

But the church was surprised to find after comparison that the church's understanding of the scriptures actually deviated from the understanding of the early saints, even to the point of being completely opposite.

On the one hand, the scriptures were indeed distorted in the process of dissemination, and on the other hand, the returning A grass-like symbol, likely representing a military unit warriors brought back a large number of heretical apocrypha and fake books.

At that time, it was the millennium of the empire, but it was the weakest period of the church's influence. The lords could depose and establish popes at will, and rob churches.

Throughout the empire, there were bandits, robbers, plagues and natural disasters everywhere.

The clergy believed that this was the Holy Father punishing them for spreading the wrong gospel, so they began a vigorous " Doubtful Scripture" movement.

They would cross-reference ancient books to explore and prove whether the annotations were correct, and write understandings that were more in line with the "truth".

However, according to some scholars of the Sarin Society, the clergy at that time would selectively choose ancient books that suited their ideas.

A small number of monks, in order to satisfy their political advocacy, would cite heretical scriptures, or even take passages out of context to modify correct and error-free doctrines.

During the fifty-four years of Doubtful Scripture's prosperity, five ecumenical councils were held to clarify doctrinal disputes.

The church and orthodox doctrines that Horn and the others are currently facing basically took shape in these five ecumenical councils.

It was just that the recent 1270 ecumenical council decided that all Doubtful Scripture activities were "not encouraged".

Mitene knew a fair amount about this.

The so-called "not encouraged" meant that only the theological institutions under the Pope and a few seminaries still enjoyed "freedom of Doubtful Scripture rights".

If the rest of the clergy dared to engage in Doubtful Scripture, they should be careful of being sentenced to heresy.

"Your Excellency Mitene, have you heard of the 'Anti-Origin Theory' they are discussing?"

Martial turned his head and asked Mitene in a low voice.

Mitene naturally shook his head: "No, the original site here was the ancient town of El, I guess they found some well-preserved ancient books."

Just then, Horn tapped the table with his scepter, signaling everyone who was still arguing to stop.

"...This issue has been argued enough, the debate is too intense, and it is impossible to sort out the ideas."

Standing up and stopping the debate, Horn said to them: "Each of you write down your views, and I will go to the Spire Library to see if there are any corresponding books and records that can resolve the dispute."

"Yes, Patriarch."

Standing in front of the long table, Horn winked at Armand, and walked out of the conference hall.

Armand, who was following Mitene, quickly opened the door at the back of the conference room, made a gesture of invitation, and asked Mitene and others to follow.

Following behind Armand, at the end of the corridor, Mitene finally saw Horn, who was waiting with a smile.

"I am very glad to meet you, Holy Grandson Your Highness."

"You must be Your Excellency Mitene, please just call me Horn."

Horn exchanged greetings with Mitene, Martial and others, and then, under the guidance of the guards, went to his study.

Before he had walked two steps, Martial couldn't help but stop: " Your Highness Horn, can I ask what book is the 'Anti-Origin Theory'?"

"Oh, that is an ancient book from the Seven Hills Kingdom, a rebuttal to 'On Origins'."

"'On Origins'? What book is that?" Martial stood there blankly, "Why have I never heard of it?"

"Haha, the original El regiment leader of this military camp was a big nobleman who loved to collect books, and later lived a wizard who loved to read books. There were originally a large number of ancient El books..."

"Really? Can I take a look?" Martial, as a scholar of the orthodox revival faction, is quite interested in the books of the ancient El period.

"...But it was burned by a group of demon hunters." Smiling and completing the second half of the sentence, Horn looked at Martial's disappointed face, "We have a wizard with an outstanding memory... She has memorized most of the books, and we have transcribed a small part of them into books."

Out of various considerations, Horn still did not expose the identity of the witch Silov to them.

The latest novel is first published on six 9(9: nine) book bar!

"Then, then, then, can I..." Martial stammered. In this era, books are valuable items and are rarely given to outsiders for casual viewing.

Horn friendly stepped forward, patting Martial on the shoulder and said: "If you want to see it, let Armand take you to the library, but no borrowing or copying is allowed, you can only read in the library."

"It should be, it should be." Martial nodded repeatedly, rubbing his hands excitedly.

"Armand, take our guests to the library, Your Excellency Mitene, let's go to the study for a detailed discussion."

Saying goodbye to Mitene, Martial followed behind Armand and walked towards the library.

He closely followed behind Armand, and if he didn't need to lead the way, he would have run in front of Armand.

Pushing open the door of the library, Martial rushed in like a hungry tiger, and then tiptoed stopped in front of the bookshelf.

On the bookshelf, thirty or so books were scattered according to categories.

"Be careful, many of these are unique copy." Seeing Martial looking like he was about to drool, Armand quickly reminded him.

Taking out his gloves, Martial showed them to Armand: "I read unique copy a lot, I know how to handle them."

After going around the bookshelf twice, Martial couldn't help but clicking sound praise, the bookshelf not only had ancient books recorded in other books, but also many that were not recorded.

Martial carefully opened a book and began to read with concentration.

This biography of "Ukurus" was only a thin biography, and he quickly finished reading it.

The time points of this biography and the experience of Ukurus in "A Brief History of El" can correspond exactly. The blank experiences not recorded in "A Brief History" are supplemented in this book.

"What should I read next?" Satisfied closing the book, Martial's eyes scanned the books, but he quickly saw a familiar title.

"Rosse's 'On Law'." Martial gently pulled out the book. There was a incomplete copy of this book in his teacher's library, but he didn't expect to see it here.

Placing the thick book on the copying table, Martial pulled over a chair and sat down.

As soon as he opened the book, he frowned, because this ancient El books and records was full of Frankish letters.

Looking closer, he saw "'On Law', written by Rosse, translated by Montesquieu" written on the title page.

It turned out to be a translated product, no wonder it was so thick.

I just don't know how good this priest named Montesquieu is at translating.

Facing such a lengthy book, Martial threw himself himself wholeheartedly and began to read word by word.
