In a church in the capital.
Cardinal Mu and Red-robed Archbishop William were having a video call.
Cardinal Mu looked at the screen and asked in puzzlement,""Esteemed Archbishop, I don't understand why we have to confront Taoism at this time.”
" Although Wang Yu's seemingly reckless actions offended many people, the extraordinary power displayed by Taoism is enough to make most people ignore this discomfort and turn to favor Taoism, or even curry favor with Taoism.”
"It doesn't seem like the best time for us to directly confront the Daoists.”
Archbishop William smiled. He was not angry at Bishop Mu's doubts. Instead, he was pleased.
"You're right," he said.
Bishop Mu was even more puzzled.
Since the archbishop felt that it was right, why?
"Did I say it was to fight against Taoism?”
Archbishop William had a mysterious smile on his face, and his tone was relaxed.
Bishop Mu was stunned.
This?
If it wasn't for the sake of resisting Taoism and finding flaws in the teachings of Taoism, why would they invite Wang Yu over to discuss Taoism?
"You've overlooked one point, a very important point.”
"Please give me some pointers, Archbishop," said Bishop Mu respectfully.”
"Is the hatred between the Church and Taoism deeper, or the hatred between Buddhism and Taoism?" Archbishop William asked with a faint smile.”
"Of course it's Buddhism. Back then, Taoism was destroyed because of Buddhism.”
When Bishop Mu said this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.
He suddenly understood.
"Archbishop, do you mean that Buddhism can't sit still anymore?”
Bishop Mu was pleasantly surprised.
Archbishop William nodded slightly and laughed.""China has always been very dissatisfied with our Holy See. Many high-level government officials want to expel the Holy See from the Nine Provinces.
However, we also have some devout friends in the government. With the help of these friends, the Holy See has always stood tall in this vast, rich, and civilized land.
God loved the people of the world. No matter if they were from the East or the West, they were all God's children. He treated them equally.”
"If Daoism is just an ordinary Daoism, it will become a chess piece used by some higher-ups of the Imperial Court to oppress our Church. In the end, it might form a situation where the three forces stand on equal footing. As a result, the status and prestige of our Church in the Celestial Empire will be greatly suppressed.”
"But the current situation has exceeded all of our expectations. Taoism has hidden a great secret, some of which may be related to the gods.”
Archbishop William's eyes shone with unprecedented brilliance.
"Such Taoism already has the capital to take revenge on Buddhism, even if it only has one person now, a preacher.
However, those hypocritical and ridiculous monks would definitely not sit still. They would be afraid that Taoism would take revenge, just like what Buddhism did to Taoism in the past.”
" So, the situation has completely changed," Bishop Mu said happily." Although our Church will still be affected by the appearance of Taoism, we will still be affected by it.
However, Buddhism could no longer stand by and watch us compete with Taoism, and then benefit from it. They might even be unable to resist attacking Taoism to prevent the rise of Taoism and prevent the same thing from happening to Buddhism!”
"You've already understood," Archbishop William said with a smile.”
Bishop Mu couldn't help but smile.
"If that's the case, why did His Excellency the Archbishop invite Wang Yu to the Cathedral of Light to discuss the Dao?"”
Archbishop William chuckled and said in a sacred tone,""Taoism has a long culture and a mysterious heritage. Such an excellent cultural heritage should not disappear in the long river of history.
Even though our Church is a religion that rejects some Outer Gods, we are still a bunch of people. However, this does not prevent us from maintaining respect for other religions. Perhaps we can even send a small gift.”
Bishop Mu instantly understood what Archbishop William meant.
The Holy See had invited Wang Yu to discuss the Dao not to start a war with Taoism, but to show their goodwill!
Of course, there was no such thing as complete kindness in the Dao War.
It didn't matter if this goodwill was real or fake. The key was to let people know that the Holy See was very friendly to Taoism and was even willing to sponsor the development of Taoism!
For example, Buddhism!
This way, Buddhism would definitely be even more restless!
With what they had done to Taoism back then, it was impossible for them not to be afraid that Taoism would return under Wang Yu's leadership and take revenge on Buddhism!
The revenge of destroying the Dao!
This was an irreconcilable hatred.
If Taoism was just an ordinary religion, it would be fine. With the imperial court suppressing them, even if Taoism wanted to take revenge on Buddhism, they would have to ask the higher-ups.
But now, Taoism was not ordinary!
It hid countless secrets!
And the power to complete his revenge!
After Bishop Mu understood, he said in admiration,"Esteemed senior sectmaster, your wisdom is like the vast sea of stars.”
Archbishop William did not mind Bishop Mu's flattery.
He pondered." Buddhism will make a move soon. They won't directly deal with Taoism and Wang Yu for the time being. The biggest possibility is that they will manipulate the fishing boat and their relationship with the government to slander and suppress Taoism through the recent preaching incident.
From now on, you have to pay close attention to the direction of the government and the changes in the fishing vessels on the Internet. When necessary, you can convey the Church's goodwill to Taoism and Cultivator Wang Yu to the ordinary people.”
"Yes."
Bishop Mu did not hesitate.
The situation seemed to be getting more chaotic when Buddhism entered the water, but it was a good thing for the Holy See.
Since the rise of Taoism was unstoppable, why not completely muddy the waters, at least not give Buddhism a chance to sit on the sidelines?
It was just as Archbishop William had guessed.
There was a sudden change in the trend of the internet. It was unknown where the Taoist cultivation method was abnormally evil. It ate people and even used babies as cultivation materials!
Some people even took out ancient books on Daoist sorcery as evidence!
It was filled with the detailed process of refining magic tools with human bones, human skin, and other materials!
The situation changed!
