章 554: The Dark Future

"As the backbone of the Church, are you sure it's appropriate for you to say that?" asked Ye Qingxuan.

"Every high-level officer of the Church should know one thing: the faith is for the worshipers only. We don't need to fool ourselves with that." Shi Dong smiled weirdly. "I'm old anyway. Old men tend to have some wild thoughts."

"You can say whatever you like," said Ye Qingxuan. Shaking his head, he continued, "You may continue. I'm curious about the secret of the Religious Court. What on earth is it?"

"As we are only used by the senior officers as tools, we shall not get to know too much. If you want to know that, you may need to ask the Pope."

"I have asked him actually."

"But he didn't tell me." Ye Qingxuan shrugged.

"Then there is nothing we can do. If the popes don't want to tell you, no one can help you." Shi Dong shook his head pitifully.
