This is because Anna is wearing that white dress.
According to church etiquette, Protestant heads of state must wear long-sleeved black clothes when they meet the Pope, and women must wear a veil.But Catholic heads of state can wear white, and now Anna is wearing white, which means it's self-evident.
In fact, Anna didn't understand church etiquette at all. From her birth to now, Anna hadn't even been to church a few times.
Isabella didn't remind Anna either.
Because actually Anna was going to do it.
"Long time no see, Holy See, may you be well."
"May the Lord have mercy on me, my little princess, just call me father."
Anna felt that Pius XI was taking advantage of her.
According to the official title of the Pope of Rome, Anna is called the Holy See, which is holy see, which can refer to both the Church itself and the Pope of Rome. Appellation, most of them use holy father as the salutation.
Pius XI asked Anna to be called father, and also wanted to have a relationship with Annala.Pius XI is 71 years old this year, while Anna is only 24 years old, which is the age of a grandfather.
Anna is a little embarrassed.
It's uncomfortable to call, and it's rude not to call.
Simply skip this topic.
"I came to see you this time to discuss something with you about the religious reform of the Deta Empire."
"Appreciate further details."
"Actually, I don't know much about religious wars, and I don't understand why various denominations are so hated, but we have to avoid the same mistakes in the future, so I plan to reorganize the religious forces of Deta, and integrate Protestantism and Catholicism. You need to admit it."
"Does the little princess plan to make the order you created the state religion?"
"Yes."
"The right to appoint and remove bishops..."
"Detta will nominally submit a candidate for archbishop, and go to the Vatican to get your approval."
Anna's meaning is simple.
Deta will integrate his religious order into the state religion of the empire. From now on, Deta will completely control the religion in Deta, but it will give the church face in name.
"Does the little princess think I will agree?"
"The times are changing too fast, and the church must also seek to change. If the church remains the same, it will be replaced by Protestantism or other religions."
"Conservation is the foundation of the church's existence."
"I don't mean that, I mean the institutional problems of the church, tradition, conservatism, abstinence, sin, these are the reasons why the church has been invincible for thousands of years. But it is clear that since the 20th century, the birth of various extreme ideas has influenced the church. The power has dropped dramatically, and the church itself has been riddled with scandals until one day it can no longer cover up and explode?"
Pius XI knew what Anna was talking about. There were too many scandals engulfing the church. This was also because the church was too large.
And the church cannot seek reform like any other state polity.
If the church loses its traditions, then there is no need for the church to exist. Just like the Pope of Rome, of course, knows about the scandals in the church, and he cannot change it, because to solve the fundamental problems, the entire system of the church must be reformed, otherwise it will only be a temporary solution. Do not cure the root cause.
"Is there a good way for the little princess?"
"You can't have both. This is a matter of influence and power. I intend to weaken the church's power in Deta, and in turn increase the church's influence."
Saying that, Anna took a document from Isabella and handed it to Pius XI.
Pius XI took the document and raised his eyebrows.
have to say.
As expected of the tyrant princess of the empire.
Anna's reform method is very crude, but also very complicated.We all know where the scandals of the church are concentrated, but it is almost impossible to solve them completely. The excessive system of the church created these priests, the priests harmed the victims, and the victims became the perpetrators under the church system. A more vicious cycle.
The reform method of the Holy Anna Order is even more extreme. Since the church system is prone to create a morbid mentality, the standard of priests should be further improved and the standard of saints should be required.
To remove [-]% of the priests in Deta, the requirements for priests directly become the requirements of ascetic monks. To put it simply, it is directly upgraded from high moral standards to saints standards, and from traditional and conservative to extreme traditional and conservative.
Completely separate religious clergy from ordinary people to maintain the divinity of religious clergy.Between the clergy and the laity, a new level has been added, called the forgiver, which replaces the responsibilities that originally belonged to the priest, but does not need to follow complex canons, and does not need to make three vows, not as secretive as the religious clergy, completely open Being transparent, you can get married and have children like ordinary people, which is equivalent to a teacher.
Expose the intricate and secret order to bring them closer to the world.
The Empire will even subsidize their salaries.
Such a complicated method of reform would almost require a thorough cleaning of religion from top to bottom, which is also impossible. The religious power is simply too huge.
And it's not just scandals, but also acts of kindness. The church has built a large number of orphanages, church schools, charitable organizations, and relief organizations almost monopolistically. Changing religions will also affect these organizations.
This is why Meissner told Anna that if Anna wanted to be religious, then there would be a nun who had been helping the poor in the slums all her life.
To solve this problem, any religious reform is useless, because poverty is the greatest original sin.
Today Anna's reformation of religion is divided into three parts.
Let the original clergy and lay believers become the official clergy of the church, which is absolutely traditional to preserve the divinity, and the original clergy is more open to the middle layer called forgivers, and then remain the same lay believers.
Of course, this kind of reform is not achieved overnight. It can only be boiled in warm water step by step.
What this reform brings is that the influence of the church will be greatly expanded, and the power of the church will be greatly reduced.
Of course, Anna didn't directly state the weakening of the church's wealth.
Pius XI raised his head to look at Anna.
"What is the purpose of the little princess?"
"It's very simple, I want money, you can use it to help the poor at most, and giving me money can really make people's lives better."
"If the little princess is willing to use the 300 billion military expenditure to improve people's livelihood, I think it is more appropriate."
"I will, but not now, I won't let Baldwin's efforts go to waste. Don't you want to see a full EU? An EU with Deta at its core."
Anna looked at Pius XI's cloudy eyes.
The meaning is very clear,
If the church refuses, then Anna can only leave the church completely and completely remove the shadow of the church from Deta.If the church is willing to cooperate, then Anna's order will be directly incorporated into the Catholic Church, but Anna will reduce the power of the church.
On the contrary, the influence of the church will also be greatly increased. When Delta expands outward, which is the European Union to be precise, the religion of all countries will also be changed to the church.
Whether the future of the Church is good or bad, Pius XI is also unclear.
"I need to think about it for a while."

Goebbels followed Anna through the long corridor.
He still didn't understand what Anna meant. In fact, Goebbels had seen Anna's reform plan. It must be a good thing for the empire to change to the state religion, especially the most important power to appoint and remove bishops, which is the core power of the Pope of Rome. .
It's just that Goebbels doesn't understand that power and influence are closely related. According to the argument of political party elections, as long as the influence is high, it represents an absolute majority of votes, and enough votes means power.
Enough power can get more votes, as long as there are no major forks, this is definitely a positive plus law.
The dialogue between Anna and Pius XI, but asking the Church to give up power and gain influence, really made Goebbels somewhat incomprehensible.
"If you have any questions, just ask."
Anna walked ahead without even looking back.
"His Royal Highness, I want to know, why does it reduce power and increase influence?"
"Because you look at the church as class politics, you have to understand one thing, that is, the church itself does not have class character, and its class character comes from the derivation of social class. Just like a black slave and a landlord joining the church at the same time, They have no class in the church, their class comes from what their society has."
"Just like a presidential system, if you want to weaken the power of the president, you must pass a bill to amend the constitution, and it is almost impossible to pass a bill to amend the constitution. Therefore, the power of the president cannot be shaken, but the person who is the president cannot be shaken. It can be shaken, and others can weaken the person who holds the presidency by attacking the shortcomings of the president himself."
"The church can be said to be just the opposite. The Pope of Rome only has the power to appoint and dismiss all church parishioners, and this power is not of a class nature. The class nature comes from whether there is money in that place. And his connection with the secular, once again The power vested in him does not belong to the office of the Pope."
Goebbels frowned.
"These are the three authorities of Max Weber?"
"Yes."
Max Weber divides authority into three types.
1 is the Chrisma type, that is, the charismatic type, who becomes a leader through personal extraordinary abilities and talents, generally referring to religious leaders and heroes.
2 is the traditional type, which usually refers to the hereditary system, which implements legal rule through the power of tradition and is also bound by tradition.
3 is the type of legal rationale, both through the legitimacy of formally formulated rules and laws, such as the normal electoral system.
This is the source of the difference in power between the President of the United States and the Pope of Rome.
of course.
The two can also interfere with each other.
For example, Roosevelt is both a jurisprudential leader and a Chrisma type.
Anna continued.
"My reform plan for the church is to assimilate a large part of the church with ordinary people, as a similar profession as a teacher. And a small part of the church will completely tear them apart from the world and put them on the shelf, so that It is the real social role of the church, guiding people to be kind and raising people's moral lows, rather than participating in politics, let alone causing religious wars."
"Will the church agree?"
If Goebbels was the Pope of Rome, he would definitely not agree, which almost killed the church.
"If I don't agree, I can only forcibly cut myself off from the church. It depends on how optimistic Pius XI is of me, or whether he has the confidence to withstand the power of religious aggression from himself."
The words say so.
But to be honest, Anna wasn't sure.
Because if Anna and Pius XI were to switch positions, then Anna wouldn't do it. After all, the church looked soft on the surface, but the basic plate was too thick.
Anna looked at St. Peter's Basilica.
Maybe I can be a pope in the future?It's a bit difficult. The most difficult thing is the gender issue. If Anna wants to be the Pope, she can't go through the normal process, she can only go through unanimous cheers.
The election of the Pope in Rome requires two-thirds of the cardinals to vote in favor, and can only be selected from the cardinals.
There are exceptions.
For example, the unanimous vote to choose any one person to serve as the pope is also a kind of unanimous cheer. There are only seven people in history, and Anna also thinks about it.
Because Anna's arrival in Rome is a top secret.
