From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 126 How can God’s people be afraid to face God?
Three days later, at St. Mary's Cathedral.

Golden Hair, his staff, and Florida's top officials all came before Angus, as did the high-ranking officials of the Vatican.

They stood by Angus's bedside, listening to him tell the story of what had happened three days earlier.

It wasn't because they wanted to come; in fact, from the blond-haired monks to the cardinals of the Vatican, not one wanted to come.

The only ones who truly wanted to come were Caroline, the "saint" candidate, and Mario, the pope!
Why did they have to come? Because of online public opinion and global opinion.

Angus is now being called "a new generation of saints," "the Lord walking on earth," and "the savior of the Kingdom of Heaven" by people online. In Japan, he is even called "the morning star of heaven."

His past identities have all been dug up.

The town's priest, a diligent and conscientious man who protected the entire town when miracles and monsters occurred, did not resort to violence when he noticed the child's change, but instead gently guided him...

All of this perfectly matches how people in this country define the word "priest"!
He was simply a paragon of the Vatican, a true “believer”!
Moreover, because of his American identity, his prestige is unparalleled, and if he were to run for governor of California now, becoming governor would be a piece of cake.

More information is circulating online and in print media, and this information is in Caroline's hands; she is currently reviewing it.

Theocracy vs. Regime: The Vatican erects a "shield of faith" during the Miami tsunami, while government negligence leaves tens of thousands trapped.

A miracle occurs at sea! A cardinal chants Isaiah, summoning angel wings; a doomsday beach transforms into a holy site of faith.

A billionaire donates $1 million to buy church VIP access? The Smith family's massive donation raises suspicions of exchanging "tickets to faith."

If the aforementioned media outlets still had some integrity, merely stating facts or using various unsubstantiated claims to demonstrate their extensive information channels or to sway public opinion, then CNN, which was dubbed a well-known "fake news" media by Trump, has truly stopped pretending altogether!
CNN Commentary: "This is not Hurricane Katrina: The embryonic form of a theocratic state emerges in the disaster"

"While the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) logo was absent from the disaster area, the Vatican cross hung high above the protective halo. American social Darwinism faced a shock to its faith, and the theory that 'the people are a liability' was completely bankrupt in the tsunami."

This kind of argument is practically rubbing the face of the entire federation into the ground.

Anyone with common sense knows that this tsunami crisis was caused by that black two-headed snake, and this crisis was not something that federal emergency agencies could handle.

That is precisely why this media outlet's statement seems so sinister.

Because most people don't actually know the inside story; they just think that's reality.

If the Vatican can get there, why can't you? Why don't you reflect on your own problems?

Furthermore, as a nation founded by Puritans, although it is known worldwide for its "openness" and "liberalization," and its LGBT community is globally renowned, the vast majority of its people are exceptionally conservative!

Yes, it's conservatism, this very counterintuitive thing, that's the inside story of this country.

Those so-called opening-up policies only appear in big cities. In the vast rural areas of central China, would you dare to call yourself open?
Anyone who dares to say such a thing will be taken to the sheriff by the entire town the next day to confess, and finally sent to the town church to repent.

This is the truth of the "majority" in this country, and this truth has given rise to the vast majority of Christians in this country, whether Catholic or Protestant, who all belong to this category.

And they, of course, are more willing to believe such topics, especially the appearance of the cross and the power of Catholicism, which perfectly match the imagination of these believers about such things!

The increase in the power of the Papacy has become almost inevitable, which is the underlying reason why so many high-ranking government officials have come here.

If Golden Hair and others don't come here to stabilize public sentiment, given the Vatican's viral-like spread, Florida might become another "Papal State" in a few years, something they certainly cannot accept.

So, after listening to Angus's story, Golden Retriever didn't need to say anything; someone would take the initiative to challenge him.

“Bishop Angus, have you ever considered that what you’ve done is affecting America’s national security?”

The speaker was the White House security advisor, someone who was dispensable, but at times, very important.

This statement carries a heavy responsibility. If Angus doesn't answer well, it might be reported directly, damaging his current online image. After all, there's more than one camera in this room.

Angus said slowly, “I don’t know about national security, and I don’t care about national security! I only care that people are facing danger. They are believers in the Lord, they are innocent, and they should not be the ones abandoned in this disaster!”

"So I wanted to protect them, and the Lord answered my prayers!"

Facing the camera with a solemn expression, he said, "Don't thank me, thank the Lord. Continue to pray devoutly and follow the Lord's teachings!"

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not of your own making; it is the gift of God, not of works, so that no one may boast."

He still says the same thing: the essence of salvation is a gift from God, which people receive by faith, not by relying on anything else.

To him, this behavior was perfectly normal, but to others, it seemed somewhat like an attempt to cultivate prestige.

Although America doesn't have this word, it doesn't mean these people don't understand it. Several people with a keen political sense have begun to suspect that this is a campaign by the Vatican to influence the election.

But upon hearing this, the blond man laughed instead. "So, Cardinal Angus, what do you intend to do now that you've recovered? Are you going back to the Vatican?"

Angus shook his head. "No, I won't go back. The Vatican is not a place for me. I must carry out His Holiness the Pope's orders to cleanse the Vatican of its filth and prepare for the possible end of days!"

Mario nodded with satisfaction, looking at Angus, "You've done very well. You are following the Lord's commandments, spreading the Lord's words, and you are a sower of the Lord's light. This is your mission!"

What makes Pope Mario unique is that he is not a pope from the Papacy; on the contrary, he comes from South America and is an ascetic belonging to the Jesuit order.

There have been rumors that he fought as a guerrilla in the jungles of South America when he was young, and that he was a special "pope" who was physically healthy, had a firm belief, and made decisive decisions.

Therefore, he could hear the hints in the government officials' words, but he unusually stood his ground and used this method to help Angus answer their questions.

Essentially, it's telling the blond guy and others that Angus is safe!

Before the mystery arrived, Mario's words were no different from farting in front of a powerful leader like the Golden Retriever.

But now, in the eyes of those who know about the mysterious and extraordinary, Mario's words are like the resounding bells, and the Pope's words are comparable to those of the Grand Commander of America!

This is the awe-inspiring power of the gods!
"So, what if someone really doesn't conform to the doctrine?" the golden-haired man's aide suddenly asked, his words aimed straight at the heart of the matter!

You claim to be God's spokesperson, so your words and actions must conform to God's will. What if they don't?
Regardless of what Angus says, it's all beneficial to America. To say that not dealing with it would affect the fairness and prestige of the Papacy, and the so-called rise of the Papacy would be a joke.

If we're talking about dealing with these people, with so many churches and so many people in this country, at least half or even more of them are bad seeds. This is forcing them to weaken their own power, and of course they'd welcome it.

The clash between divine right and state power occurs here.

Upon hearing this, Angus and Mario exchanged a glance and then burst into laughter.

“Of course we must deal with it!” Angus said. “Those who deserve punishment should be punished, those who deserve reprimand should be punished, and those who deserve expulsion should be expelled. We will not be lenient!”

"If someone commits a grave error, the religious court will still sentence him to death!" Pope Mario added. "In this age, the faithless and the blasphemous should be treated as before!"

This past, of course, refers to the Middle Ages.

"What if someone resists?" a cardinal asked.

"Then send them to meet God!" Mario's expression changed drastically, and the toughness of a former soldier reappeared on his body, exuding an unparalleled aura of killing intent. "How could God's children be afraid to face God?"

Everyone fell silent.

Silence means tacit approval; the growing power of the Papacy in this country is an undeniable fact!
