I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

The people suddenly panicked. They couldn't believe how their brothers, who had just been having fun with them, had changed into such a different person.

"Protect the Pope!" The Knights of Fate drew their swords together.

Phil Gray remained calm and said, "Protect the people first. These people are nothing to be afraid of. If possible, there is no need to hurt them. They are just a group of poor people."

Of course he recognized these people, and the leader was the veiled leader of the apostates from Kaor City.

Judging from their crude attack methods, it seems that except for the leader and Lisa beside her, the others are just ordinary people who just have some special props.

Lisa has unexpectedly also become a person favored by the God. She exudes a strong breath of life and long vines grow in her hands. She must be a person favored by the God of Life.

It seems that she has also achieved a lot this year.

"You liar! Damn lackey!"

Sure enough, in less than a moment, this group of rabble were all captured.

The female leader stared at Phil Gray viciously and cursed.

As soon as this lackey of fate entered the city of Kao, she recognized his face. He had attended their gathering a year ago and she was deeply impressed by this face!

Damn it, she should have found out his identity and taken action when the opportunity arose!

Lisa lowered her head, not daring to look directly at the Pope, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"I know that you betrayed your fate because of some unfair treatment, most of which was related to certain people in the Vatican. Now I give you a chance. Tell us all the injustice you have suffered and the reasons for your betrayal. Personally accuse those who have harmed you, whether they are priests, knights or bishops. I will make them atone for you." Phil Gray's eyes swept over them one by one. Many of them did not really want to be people who betrayed their fate, but were forced into a desperate situation. In addition, the real mastermind behind the apostasy had instilled some ideas in them.

"That sounds nice, but it's clear that all the people in your church are in the same group! Especially you, the leader of the lackeys. How could these guys act so recklessly without your permission? The Archbishop of Reis City embezzled my property and killed my parents. The leader of the Knights of Kadago City embezzled the pension of the boy's father and starved his paralyzed mother to death. And this lady... How can you execute all our enemies? When we were suffering, where was the God of Destiny? Where were you? Why do you want us to believe? Why can't we rebel!"

The female leader asked the question at the top of her lungs, and the apostates around her shed silent tears.

Phil Gray took a deep breath and said, "I understand your pain and anger. I admit that the Church of Destiny is not perfect, and some of our members have indeed made mistakes and even crimes. But please believe that they cannot represent my will, nor the entire church. As for our Lord God, I believe that He loves every one of His believers, and what happened to you is not what God wants."

Phil Gray's voice gradually became louder. "I hereby swear that these injustices will be thoroughly investigated, and whoever is involved will be punished accordingly. I will personally ensure that such injustices will never happen again."

He turned to the captured apostates, his eyes showing sympathy and encouragement, "I will give you a chance to make your voices heard. I will temporarily set up a fair court in the square of the Fate Church's headquarters, Nos City. The supervisor will be all the people of Fate. The victims will be able to stand up and those who do evil will be judged. Your words will be recorded and your pain will be responded to."

Phil Gray added, "As for those apostates in other church areas, if they are indeed persecuted by the church, I can forgive their sins of betrayal on behalf of God. As for whether they still believe in fate, it is up to them to decide. Ernest, you are in charge of this matter. Send people to settle these apostates, record their accusations one by one, and then verify them one by one, and bring all the relevant people to the court of North City!"

"Yes, Your Holiness!" Ernest answered firmly, bowed to Phil Gray, then turned around and began to organize the Knights of Destiny to take action.

When the female leader was taken away, complex emotions flashed in her eyes, but her anger seemed to ease. However, she was still deeply suspicious. She clenched her fists, as if struggling with whether she should believe the Pope's words.

As the atmosphere at the scene eased, the people recovered from their panic and began to discuss enthusiastically the identities of these apostates and the tribunal that His Holiness the Pope said would be set up in the main city.

Although most people are not apostates, it does not mean that they have not been bullied by a priest or knight.

"Well, if you do this, it will definitely involve a lot of people, even many families, and it may cause some turmoil at that time." Eli speculated reasonably.

"Yes, I have thought of it a long time ago. But if we don't do this, the credibility of the Holy See will become lower and lower, and there will be more and more apostates. As for the turmoil, our strength is enough to quell it." Phil Gray smiled indifferently. In a world where extraordinary powers exist, strength can represent everything.

"That's right. By the way, I just noticed that there was a noble lady in the crowd who was looking at you. She refused to leave when the knight dispersed the crowd. Does she know you?" Eli raised his eyebrows at him and pointed in a direction.

Phil Gray looked in the direction he pointed and indeed saw a tall figure. She was wearing a red dress and a black feather hat. When she looked at him, she lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed gently.

Is this... Edith?

"It looks like Edith, the daughter of the mayor of Kao City. You should call her over. Thanks to the mayor's order she gave us, Patrick and I were able to escape." Phil Gray was a little surprised, but fortunately Patrick did not come with us this time. He was concentrating on finding evidence against the five district bishops in North City.

"Her name is also Edith?" Eli gave an intriguing smile.

"Yes, by the way, don't mention Patrick and Edith for a while."

"it is good."

Eli walked quickly to Edith, bowed and invited her to come forward to see the Pope.

"Hello, Your Majesty. I am Edith."

Miss Edith smiled gently and generously.

"Hello, Miss Edith, thank you for your help." Phil Gray shook her hand.

"Your Majesty, I actually want to ask you about the whereabouts of someone. I have been looking for him for a long time." Edith lowered her eyes and said with some disappointment.

Phil Gray's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad guess.

"I want to ask you about the whereabouts of Patrick, your cousin. In fact, I liked him very much at the beginning. When you left with the city lord's order that day, I realized my own heart. I have always been too weak and dared not even admit that I liked him. That day I made the boldest decision in my life. I broke off the engagement, but I haven't heard any news about him for a whole year. Now I just want to see him again and tell him my love!" The girl raised her head, tears in the corners of her eyes and her cheeks slightly red, as if she was not used to making such bold remarks in front of others.

Phil Gray coughed and looked at Eli, motioning him to answer.

Eli turned his head away and coughed in the same awkward manner.

Seeing their strange reactions, Edith pursed her lips and asked uncomfortably, "Is it inconvenient to tell me?"
