Chapter 7 Furong: Luo Fu, You Are a Pervert!

Luofu mentioned the Mayflower casually, just to send Gabrielle away. Unexpectedly, the little girl was very interested, pulled his arm, and shouted to listen.

Furong smiled inwardly, feeling that Luo Fu's lie was about to be exposed, but the young man looked calm and talked eloquently:

"The Mayflower was originally a Muggle ship. It carried a group of persecuted Puritans from Plymouth in 1620. After arriving in North America, they established a colony there."

After Fleur translated it, Gabrielle asked, "Where is Plymouth?"

Furong did not help her sister translate this question because it was too simple and she could answer it.

The girl asked with a little "mischief" and "exquisite" mentality: "Gabriel asked you what is a Puritan?"

The Puritans are related to the history of Muggles. As a lover of the history of magic, Fleur went to look it up when she learned about this term, and finally found that it was a complete mess.

She didn't believe that Rolf, a pure-blood wizard, would know this.

Ralph glanced deeply at Fleur. He clearly heard "Plymouth", but how come she translated it as "Pilgrim"?

You know how to translate!

"If you want to understand the Puritans, you have to start with Christianity." The boy did not expose the girl. He coughed and said slowly:

“At that time, as the Roman Empire split into the Eastern and Western Roman Empire, the two dioceses took different paths. The west was gradually Germanized by the Latin tradition, and the east was Hellenized.

By the eleventh century, it finally split into Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. "

There are many reasons for this split, but to put it bluntly, they are still fighting for the right to speak. They want to be each other's father instead of calling each other daddy.

The result was that after a fight, both parties excommunicated each other from the church, and then completely separated!

Along the corridor, the three of them passed by a large floor-standing pendulum clock. The white dial was inlaid with Roman numerals for timekeeping, and the long and short hour hands looked particularly sharp on the white background.

Luofu paused for a moment and continued softly:

“In the sixteenth century, there was another Reformation within Roman Catholicism.”

"This religious reform began in Germany, initiated by Father Martin Luther, and quickly spread throughout almost all of Europe."

The trigger for the Catholic Reformation was also very simple, that is, the high degree of corruption within the church.

In Christian doctrine, people are born with original sin and need to atone for their sins throughout their lives. Jesus was crucified on the cross to atone for everyone's sins.

Therefore, as long as you believe in Jesus, you can atone for your sins and be saved, and you will be called "righteous" by God at the last judgment.

In order to atone for sins, the atonement scroll was directly derived later.

It first appeared during the First Crusade, when Pope Urban II, in order to strengthen the religious faith of the Crusaders, announced that all those who joined the army could obtain remissions of sins and indulgences.

By the sixteenth century, the Atonement Roll had been abused and became an important means for the church to make money.

The Pope wants to build a luxurious church, but what should he do if he has no money? Then sell some atonement scrolls!

Of course, how can the church use such a vulgar word as "buy and sell"? It has to be described as "voluntary donation."

For believers, if you want to atone for your sins, you have to spend money. The more you spend, the more faith you have, and the more the Lord will protect you... It feels like a deja vu, as if I am a Buddha who cannot survive but cannot survive.

Even in order to encourage poor people to donate money, the church will ask local wealthy people to donate first, and then they will pay 70/30.

All I can say is that what they say is doctrine, but what they mean is business.

"In order to solve this problem, Martin Luther proposed 'justification by faith', that is, as long as you sincerely believe in God in your heart, you can be saved." Rove said in a steady voice:

"It doesn't matter whether you follow the church's rules, buy indulgences, complete expensive religious rituals... it doesn't matter."

Although the churches were unhappy and even excommunicated Martin Luther, the ordinary believers were happy, after all, they really had no money... Therefore, Protestantism sprung up and grew in Europe.

Fleur forgot to translate for her sister, but stared at Luo Fu intently, urging: "Then what?"

Luofu glanced at the girl, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then...the religious reform caused the split in the Catholic Church and formed the Protestant Church. The Protestant denominations were divided into Lutheranism, Calvinism and Anglicanism."

"Among them, Anglicanism became the state religion of England. Puritans were a branch of Calvinism and also spread in England, but were persecuted by Anglicanism, the state religion."

Furong let out a long sigh, nodded slightly, and began to think silently.

Gabrielle looked at her sister anxiously and tugged on her sleeve...Why don't you translate? What are you doing there?

I asked you to come here as a translator, not to chat with Luo Fe!

After Furong hurriedly translated it, she looked at the boy again and asked strangely: "They are all Protestants. Why did the Anligan Sect destroy the Puritans?"

Luofu's clear blue eyes were shining. He stared at Fleur and asked, "Is this Gabriel's problem?"

"..."

Fleur looked a little embarrassed for a moment. She concealed her guilty conscience with a faint smile. After taking a few steps, she turned to Rolf and said, "Gabriel really asked."

Luofu glanced out the window, shrugged and said:

“The Puritans in England demanded a further purge of the remaining Roman rites in the Church of England.

If the Anglican Church is the reformed wing of Roman Catholicism, then the Puritans are the reforming wing of the Anglican Church, that is, the reforming wing of the reforming wing.

Such a sect would of course be rejected by the slightly conservative state religion. "

When I was a reformist, I hated conservatives and accused them of being unprogressive and stubborn. But when I became the state religion, I began to resist the new reformists.

"So that's how it is!" Furong couldn't help but admire, silently giving the boy a point for impression.

Along the black glossy lacquered wooden stairs, the three of them walked towards the restaurant downstairs. At the corner of the stairs, there was a marble statue of a Greek goddess with ivory white color, more than one person tall.

Rove took a look at the goddess statue and continued: "In fact, the persecution of Puritans has a lot to do with wizards."

"What's the relationship?" Furong couldn't help asking.

Seeing that Rove was looking at her again, she blushed and said simply: "This is my problem."

"With the advent of the Reformation, the persecution of wizards...especially the persecution of witches reached a peak." Rove asked:

[Recommended, chasing books is really useful, download it here and you can try it quickly. 】

"You have learned this part in the history of magic, right?"

Facing this boy who is two years younger than her, Furong felt like a student, which made the girl a little uncomfortable, but she nodded:

"I have learned it."

"Both Catholics and Protestants persecuted witches, but the persecution of Puritans was particularly severe." Rove said softly:

"There was no Ministry of Magic at that time, it was called the Magic Parliament... The wizards of the Parliament joined King James I to persecute the Puritans in turn. In the end, the Puritans were forced to come to North America."

"On the Mayflower, there was a witch named Yinso Searle, She disguised herself as a Muggle boy and sneaked on board the ship. "

Rolf finally got to the point, he smiled:

"After Yinso Sear came to North America, he settled down and eventually founded the Yinfamouni School of Magic. "

"To commemorate this event, the Magical Congress of the United States later bought the Mayflower and transformed it into a magic ship as a shipping ship between Europe and North America. "

Gabriel tilted her head and said with admiration: "Wow, Rolf, you know so much, my sister doesn't know this!"

Fleur pouted and ignored the last sentence when translating.

However, the girl still objectively gave the boy an evaluation of "proficient in Muggle history" in her heart.

After all, many pure-blood wizards are not even proficient in the history of magic. I didn't expect Rolf to be able to speak clearly about the history of Muggles... It's really surprising.

Fleur was also very interested in history. She finally met a peer with the same hobby, so she asked curiously: "Rolf, are you very interested in history?"

"It's okay, I just know a little bit." Rolf said modestly: "I occasionally flip through history books in private."

"Then what are you interested in?" Fleur asked.

"Magical creatures."

"Ah?"

"I'm actually a beast... ahem, a healer."

"If you and Gabriel are sick, you can also ask me for treatment. I'll give you two a discount."

Rolf turned his head and looked up and down at the half-blooded Veela sisters, and smiled softly:

"Don't disbelieve it, I have helped many students in Hogwarts to treat illnesses, and I am famous for my miraculous healing."

"..."

Fleur looked at the blond boy with delicate and clean eyebrows, with mixed feelings, and silently deducted ten points from the boy's impression.

I didn't expect him to be a pervert... taking advantage of girls in the name of treatment!
