The pope woke up in the nightmare that the bishop said to him: "You are not the pope, Lenny! I am!", he realized that his position as the pope is the fisherman's benefit. This TV series will tell a puppet pope in the Holy See The political life of China is a story of real power through power struggles. I even suspect that this film is not ambitious, its taste is very popular, and the level of discussion is also secular. It is the Vatican version of House of Cards, which talks about conflicts of human nature, freedom and religious authority, and so on.
It wasn't until I saw the third episode that I realized that this drama may not be what I thought.
Our young pope may really want to make a revolution while consolidating power, based on his plan and his beliefs.
As he prayed at the beginning, he said he was a contradiction. This feature became obvious later.
The first is his denial of God, which can be seen from many of his arrogant and arrogant remarks. The root of this is probably his parents, and it is also the main basis for his mentor to say that he is now retaliating against society.
When we talk about faith in this age, the focus is not on whether God exists. Like the welded paperclip that Caltanissetta presented to the Pope, he told the Pope that you only need to open it to be useful. Then the pope opened the paper clip and put it in his hand: "Look, this thing is useful even if it is not untied." The bishop looked very surprised: "You are so young but you have such a mature concept."
In fact. This gift is a temptation (more likely that Caltanissetta originally intended to teach the pope a lesson), to test how the young pope views the existence of God. Obviously his answer is: I don’t need to dedicate myself to explaining unexplainable problems. But I can use another method to make it work for me.
These all show Lenny's denial of God.
But on the other side, did he really deny the existence of God so much?
Let’s talk about digressions. In fact, most people who do not believe in refute the theory of religion because they have observed that this is a "welded paper clip"-the rapid advancement of science and technology has made people realize that there is no god here. So from a theoretical point of view, we modern people can easily discuss the fantasy creation stories written by people thousands of years ago.
But in fact, this is a misunderstanding. For religion, theoretical arguments are powerless ("Our Reasonable Beliefs" also said that the description of the idyllic pastoral of heaven in the Bible has long lost its appeal to modern people).
I think the reason why religion is still attractive in modern times is that in personal experience, there are indeed some very mysterious parts. Even if the authenticity of God is denied, the feeling is very deep. Although it is difficult to describe the feeling of satisfaction as it is difficult to describe the orgasm, there are also words in the religious context such as "ecstasy" to describe the degree of selflessness, which shows that at least this feeling is not a case of a few sick people. For people who have no experience of faith, it is impossible to imagine the happiness that the rationality has completely receded (how the more it is said, the more it is like taking drugs...).
I think this is the other side of Lenny. It is not that he has not experienced the comfort brought by faith.
He is not really unbelieving. If he is only passionate about power, he is just a complete atheist, and he will not pray so eagerly. In almost every episode, there will be several scenes of him kneeling and praying. In his prayer words, we can all feel the intense emotions, his confusion and anger. Even in a prayer in episode 3, the first confession of this unruly character appeared: "Forgive my pride. It is not that I illuminate myself, but you illuminate me. I am not omnipotent. You are omnipotent. "Although he still has a cigarette in his hand.
It is such a contradictory role that makes his "plan" also elusive.
However, let us make a bold guess.
Lenny remained mysterious in front of the media, so strongly emphasizing his authority and even the cause of public disgust.
As I said before, the charm of religion is the mystery of individual experience. This mystery is like a shadow. The day when it is completely interpreted by science is also the day when people lose it. This mystery produces a sense of awe and respect. , To deepen the rule of religion. That's why Lenny asked the chef to keep her distance and respect on the first day.
In this case, can it be said that the only way out for the Holy See is to remain mysterious and solemn in the face of the increasingly developed mass media? How can religion survive in the spotlight and in the more demanding information world? In fact, with the exception of Asian and African countries, the number of people who believe in Christianity in Europe and the United States is decreasing drastically.
Lenny obviously has his own views on solving these problems, and he does have a plan for what kind of Vatican he wants to build.
"What have we forgotten?"
This play tells a story of the internal reform of modern religion under the skin of power struggle.
Looking forward to the future development, I hope that the second quarter can maintain the standard.
PS generally involves religious stories. It is the best not to state a position on some uncertain issues. Those who believe can see the belief, and those who do not believe that they don’t. The show just know this perfectly well, when any tricks when the teacher asked the Pope Voiello election playing, Voiello replied: ". ...... was the breath of the Holy Spirit.I think so, Michael, I really do"
I I believe people who have faith or not will smile when they see this 23333
