Xia Zuoyi actually guessed what His Holiness the Pope was busy with during this time, and this guess was confirmed soon after.
- The Holy See promulgated new dogmatic regulations.
One of them is to abolish the guilt of same-sex love, and to abolish the punishment of being convicted and hanged once the same sex is found to solve their needs together or fall in love with each other.
This provision was introduced by the Pope against all disapproval.
Once it was announced, it caused a great deal of discussion in Wissas, and most people had objections to it.
After all, the long-established mentality has led them to believe that "same-sex love" is sinful.
Now, even if there are new regulations that are clear and innocent, they cannot accept it, and some people believe that the Holy See is doing something wrong.
"No, this disgusting rule must be abolished. Why is sodomy innocent, men should be with women, get married and have children, this is correct!"
"People who fall in love with the same sex have a sick mind! Let them take medicine and see a doctor, don't come out and harm people, it will spread to me!"
"If there is a person who likes the same sex in my family, see if I don't break his legs, no, I will kick him out of the house, disgusting things, it's too embarrassing."
…
The list goes on and on.
But there is also a small percentage of people who agree with this, even feel happy.
Some of these people don't agree with, or don't care about, the argument that same-sex love is guilty, while others are born to like people of the same sex.
It was as if they had finally seen the dawn of dawn in the lingering darkness.
They want to grab this light and climb up with all their strength, and let the sun shine on their faces and their whole bodies.
- They want to be able to exist in this world openly and honestly, instead of hiding everywhere like rats in the gutter, and they will be killed if they appear...
Now, the opportunity has finally come.
Although the prospects are still difficult, but they already have hope.
This hope was artificially magnified later.
- The newspaper of the Thorns Chamber of Commerce published this matter immediately.
Since the discussion on "same-sex love" has been extremely hot in recent days, the newspaper bank has also occupied a whole page of it.
The above was first published with the malicious words of the people who were interviewed, and then a small number of words of agreement were left below.
The last section is the point.
That's a well-understood summary—
Love should be the attitude of one soul to another, not the reaction of one organ to another.
Same-sex love should have no guilt theory, and their existence is not wrong.
There is no difference between same-sex love and opposite-sex love, just like the left hand and the right hand, but the other way around.
…
These final words flowed into the restless hearts of a small number of people like a spring, soothing their restless minds.
-Look, there are still some people who agree with their existence, not everyone rejects and hates this feeling.
There is nothing wrong with this feeling in itself, and it should not be used as a bargaining chip for malicious attacks.
Everything in the world is different, just like some people scold and hate it, some people don't care about it, and some people cry with joy and ecstasy.
It is easy for a noble to fall in love with a commoner, but it is undoubtedly difficult if they want to be together.
If two people who love each other change from a man and a woman to a man and a man, or a woman and a woman... The difficulty of this matter will undoubtedly be even more desperate.
They didn't dare to show it in front of people at all, and could only hide and tuck them away, for fear of being discovered and causing disaster.
But sometimes, the recognition from the outside world can give people the courage and confidence to continue.
Strength can propel people forward.
Lun is an aristocrat, but their family has long since fallen, leaving only an ancestral manor and a field that can be cultivated. In order to maintain their daily livelihood and expenses, even the family's servants have been reduced a lot.
At present, there is only one old housekeeper and the family of the old housekeeper, and the other two maids are responsible for cooking and cleaning.
Lunn's father had always hoped that he would find a wealthy woman to marry.
Whether the woman is an unmarried lady or a widow who has lost her husband, as long as she has money, everything is easy.
But Len didn't think so.
Because he doesn't like women, his sexuality is innate and he likes men.
Moreover, Len already has a lover who is in love.
The family needs to hire commoners or slaves to farm the land, and that person is the son of the hired commoner.
He was irresistibly attracted to the other party. He thought it was a one-sided love that never ended, but he didn't expect that the other party also liked him.
However, after their sweet time, the love is about to be unsustainable.
Not not love, but love too much.
His lover doesn't want to watch him go and marry a rich woman in person one day.
That was so desperate and painful.
Just when Len was about to escape with his lover, the news that the Holy See had issued a new dogma came unexpectedly.
-It's no longer a sin for them to love each other!
Len was ecstatic.
It's a pity that the lover's words still poured cold water on him - "but your father will not agree with us to be together because the Holy See has changed the dogma and regulations."
He would still hope that Len would marry a rich woman.
Although "same-sex love" has become reasonable and innocent, obstacles still exist.
However, this is no longer a sin. If Len's father finds out in the future, he can no longer use this matter as a reason to punish them.
This conclusion reassured Len's lover and gave birth to infinite courage.
"Let's get out of here, Len, and go to live elsewhere. I don't know if I will regret it later, but at this moment, at least I am willing."
That's right, when Len offered to take him away from here, he originally disagreed, because he thought there was no hope of going anywhere.
But now, he has changed his mind.
Lun was overjoyed: "I will never let you regret it!"
He would rather be a commoner than be with his lover.
It didn't take long for Len to leave with his lover, and he left a letter to his father explaining the reason.
With what he knew about his father, it was impossible for him to be forgiven in this life.
He took his lover to a remote town with fields, rivers, and endless grasslands...
Lun fulfilled his promise. They lived happily. Later, they adopted an orphan and accompany each other until old age.
Of course, this is all for later, and now they are looking for a place to live with their longing for the future.
…
The Holy Church in Wisas is probably the most magnificent headquarters of the Holy See ever built. It is enough to be surprised by the area, not to mention the layout and scenery inside.
The clergy in churches from all over the world are proud to enter here, but at this time, the two cardinals, Maldez and Demps, have no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the new Holy Church.
They have absolutely no idea why the Pope would change a rule that no one agrees with.
Sure enough, once this provision was announced, the church received many voices of opposition.
They reject the consequences of same-sex love innocence.
The voices of these objections were loud at the beginning. Although, after the newspapers released relevant newspapers to discuss this, they suppressed them a lot, but the disgust still persisted.
Demps said: "Your Majesty has his own reasons for doing everything. This time... he must also have a purpose to change the dogma and regulations."
Otherwise, with the character of the Pope, he doesn't care about anything at all.
Malediz rarely agreed with Demps' words, he nodded and said, "Then what do you think the Pope has in mind?"
Demps: "...It's hard to say."
Malediz frowned: "Is there anything to say?"
Demps sighed: "Using reverse thinking to reason, the Pope's purpose of changing the dogma must be to reduce obstacles, and why did he reduce obstacles?"
"Thinking about it this way, haven't you noticed anything yet?"
Malediz couldn't help but widen his eyes, the muscles of his face seemed to freeze, and after a while, he said, "Demps... This kind of thing can't be said indiscriminately..."
Demps looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he approached Maledez and whispered, "Why don't... let's go and ask the Pope directly, how about that?"
"Guessing and guessing here, we don't know what your majesty thinks, in case..."
Maledez nodded solemnly: "You're right."
Coincidentally, today, His Holiness the Pope brought Lord Desinia to the Holy Church, in the residence behind.
So Demps went back with Maledez.
They walked through the courtyard and corridor, wondering why there was no guard or servant behind. The next moment, the two cardinals stopped in place for a moment, stunned.
I saw that the Pope, who was always indifferent and dignified and seemed unfathomable, had a very gentle smile on his face at this moment.
He leaned against the window with Lord Desinia in his arms, bowed his head and whispered to him, his appearance could not be more delicate...
And Lord Desinia didn't know what to hear from the Pope. He pursed his lips and smiled, his brows and eyes were curved, and his whole body seemed to glow with dazzling colors under the caress of the sun.
He raised his head and pouted and kissed the Pope on the chin.
Segalot kissed back, and raised his head the next moment, he found two dumbfounded people not far away who should not have appeared here.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Xia Zoe tilted her head suspiciously, then turned her head to follow Segalote's line of sight.
Eh.
How are Demps and Maledez here
Xia Zuoyi shyly shrank behind His Majesty the Pope. Facing the extremely complicated eyes of the two cardinals, he pursed his lips and smiled at them.
