>>6329252It is wise indeed, and no, indulgences are participating to good work, they are virtuous, and given to the Church, not to God directly. Only a heretic would say the contrary.
>>6329253Of course, spite is a key ingredient here.
>>6329326>>6329422>>6329438Looking at the man you told him severely.
-Your words are pompous, but you cannot worship God and Mammon at the same time ! God almighty is not a shopkeeper and he has a plan.
You had your strong booming voice and everyone turned towards you. The heretic seemed unphased, and, lacking proper respect, he began to talk to you like... Like you were a mere nuisance in his speech and not a gentleman who had chivalry in his blood for four hundred years ! What a scoundrel he was ! Worse still, he even said in a bored tone.
-And here comes the redditard objecting ! You should have begun by saying "aktchually" you pompous peacock ! Hah ! You are not from the Tigie River, you have to go back ! You think to deceive us with your ridiculous accent "Ioue cannotte worchippe gode ande Mammon atte ze same tayme". Who do you work for in truth ! Show your flag ! Tourist !
To be sincere you were rather taken aback by such verbose violence. You were accustomed to talk boldly and carry a big sword, that and the armed men at your back generally shut the mouth of the lowborn. You could go into some verbal sparring with a lord but that, from a common knave taken out of the gutter ! Tonnerre ! It will not take. In truth the effectiveness of the insults was a bit dulled by the fact that you did not understand them. It was clearly something disturbing. No, a courteous man had to make his insults understood by his opponent so he could answer. It was the chivalric way indeed. You tried to understand the strange patois of the man, remembering your reading lessons with Rose and Oldfossil you were proud of yourself when you supposed that a redditard was a a man who has something to "redire" or to say back as we said in French. And the suffix "tard" like in "bastard" or "soiffard" or even the siege engine "couillard" meant a pejorative. Yes indeed, it must mean something like a vile naysayer, the smug imbecile frail of body but proud of mind who retorts to a wise decision about raising taxes or going to a crusade. You actually had no idea what aktchually meant, and showing your flag and insulting you as a foreigner must have been a way to tell that you could not hold high and low justice here and judge the people. Even if this man deserved a hanging. As for a tourist, it perhaps meant an inhabitant of Tours, or someone who built towers. Yes probably. They seemed to dislike the tourangeaux here. Sad, they were quite nice lads it was said. Perhaps it was because of the rumour that they had the purest french tongue, and this primitive Indian seemed to mock the proper pronunciation of the French language before. Hah ! What a fool !
