    Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao rode a carriage to the Daming Royal Hotel.

    "Old Liu, do you know what the Holy See is? I heard it seems to be quite awesome."

    On the carriage, Zhu Houzhao asked very curious questions.

    "Of course the Holy See is still very powerful~"

    ¡°When talking about this issue, we must talk about the city of Jerusalem.¡±

    Liu Jin thought for a while and nodded.

    "I know Jerusalem. It is said to be the holy city of three religions, here in the Middle East."

    When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he quickly said that he was actually an easy-to-learn kid, but he was just not suitable to be an emperor. He was extremely smart and learned everything very quickly. He even learned Spanish and Arabic, and naturally knew about Jerusalem.  .

    "Jerusalem is the holy land of Christianity, Judaism and Yisl. All three religions originated here and gradually spread to the surrounding places."

    "Christianity and Judaism originated earlier, while Islamism originated much later. During the Tang Dynasty, a powerful Arab empire emerged in the Middle East. This Arab Empire was founded on Islamism, and the original faith was  Christians and Jews were driven out of the area."

    "For this reason, in the following centuries, European Christians launched many Crusades in succession, with the purpose of recovering their holy cities."

    ¡°In the process of the Crusades, the Holy See played the most critical role.¡±

    ¡°Unlike our East where the Ming Dynasty is the dominant force, in Europe, the Middle East and even Tianzhu, the influence of religion is very huge, even exceeding secular power.¡±

    "Especially in Europe, the church has even greater power than the king. The kings of these European countries, such as France, Spain, Portugal, etc., all need to be crowned by the pope.  Only then can he become the legitimate king."

    "The Holy See has its own powerful army. At the same time, the church also has the power to tax various places and has its own violent institutions. Coupled with the influence of religion, it can be said that regardless of the countries in Europe, in fact  But it can be said that everything is under the rule of the Holy See."

    "Especially in the past, the dominance of the Holy See was very powerful, and all European countries had to obey the orders of the Holy See. But now, the kings of various European countries have gradually got rid of the rule of the Holy See and begun to devote themselves to the church.  Reform and consolidate their power.¡±

    Liu Jin also tried his best to explain the situation in Europe as clearly as possible to Zhu Houzhao.

    "Isn't this a bit like the situation where the Emperor of Zhou commanded all the princes. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes and states became stronger and became less powerful than the Emperor of Zhou."

    When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he thought about it and said.

    ¡°It¡¯s a bit similar, but it can also be said that it¡¯s completely different~¡±

    "The rule of the Zhou Dynasty was based on the feudal system, while those in Europe were based on common religious beliefs."

    "Here in Europe, the influence of religion sometimes far exceeds secular power. In other words, the power of religion exceeds imperial power!"

    Liu Jin naturally does not have any good impressions of various religions, whether it is Buddhism in the Ming Dynasty, Christianity, Catholicism, Yislism, etc.

    ¡°In the final analysis, religion is a restraint on people¡¯s spirit and thoughts. It is something used to control people¡¯s thoughts and achieve various goals through religious means.

    No matter which religion they belong to, the clergy are all lazy, without any exception. They are not engaged in production, but they enjoy the fruits of their labor.

    If you want to get rid of ignorance and explore true knowledge and truth, you must get rid of the restraint and control of thought by religion. This is also the core of the European Renaissance, and it is also an important reason for the rapid rise of Europeans later.

    The religious power in the Ming Dynasty itself is very weak, that is, Buddhism is relatively strong. As for Taoism, it really pays attention to fate and cultivates Taoism on famous mountains and rivers.

    But even the strongest Buddhism can only build a few more temples and charge more money for sesame oil. It is far from the level of religious interference in secular political power like in the Western world, let alone the ability to collect taxes, form armies, and establish  The power of violent institutions.

    Because the influence of religion is weak, the Ming Dynasty does not actually need to carry out any kind of Renaissance. It is not affected and bound by religion, which is very conducive to the progress and development of the Ming Dynasty.

    So Liu Jin was very guarded against these various religions.I really want to come over and see how they promote it.

    Hearing Liu Jin's words, the other party was very happy and quickly led the two of them to an open space on one side. Here, a missionary in red was talking endlessly about Christianity, and next to him was a man sitting next to him.  Many people were listening to him talk about these things.

    "Believe in our Christianity and God, your body and mind can be washed away, and the heavy sins committed in the past can be washed away, so that you can enter heaven after death."

    "If you don't believe in God, you won't be able to wash away your sins. After death, you will go to hell, accept judgment, and undergo various tortures before you can atone for your sins."

    "Why do we say that a person is guilty? Because when we were born, we lost money to our parents. Our daily eating and killing are also sins. Therefore, everyone is born guilty and must atone for his own sins"  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
