Episode 571: Church Involvement

"It's going to be a little complicated," he prefaces, then explains.

The topic to talk about is how we can bring rights to the Church.

"How should we do the Church's involvement in the printing industry? I believe there are three main types."

"Are there three kinds? I thought it was two choices: relate or not, but you'd better appeal to your superiors."

"There, I narrowed my wisdom"

I was careful about this one in that it would either accept the printing industry or not, or it would not be a religious trial that would press for the choice of Jesus or No.

So it was necessary to present a gray option so that a proper political settlement could be reached with a faction that affirmed and denied its involvement in the printing industry.

"I said there are three ways to get involved in the printing industry. The first is how to manage your printing press. The printing press will be bulky and it will be easy to manage in the church, as production requires the special skill of artisans. Anyway, right now, there's only one printing press in the city that can do this level of printing.

It seems that this proposal is close to the way Michelino managed it in the church he was told earlier. "

"Right. Many people think that if you manage a printing press, the church can be involved in the printing industry to the fullest. However, Mr. Kenji wouldn't recommend this method, would he?

"Right. This method has clear disadvantages (disadvantages). It's about not being able to come about technological advances. Right now, for example, the craftsmen in the workshop (of which) are also working on the idea of a new printing press, and other cities may be developing a completely new way of printing machines. Or there could be technological innovations not only in the printing press, but also in the ink for printing, in the equipment around the printing press and in the parchment on which printing takes place.

If the Church tries to force it to manage printing presses, it will have to take on the gloomy task of destroying printing presses produced outside the control of the Church or not recognising printing presses other than those established by the Church as printing presses.

This means that the Church turns to the side that inhibits the technological development of printing presses.

The Church will not be an institution of wisdom that supports the progress and progress of mankind, but will be able to bear fruit with an organization that symbolizes decadence and stagnation. I don't want the Church to be like that. "

"I see. You mean the church won't be able to be right. That would be unacceptable to church officials."

An organization called the Church is an official of society, in order to protect the faithful.

In this monster threatening world, the trust and significance of an organization called the Church is there.

Turning to the side of destroying rather than protecting the knowledge and property of the faithful would fundamentally deny the existence of an organization called the Church.

Even if there are corrupt clergy in some of them, there can be no way in the long run that organizations that are not serving society as a whole can survive.

In that regard, I place a certain amount of trust in the society of an organization called the Church.

"The second way the Church is involved in the printing industry is by managing printed materials. So it involves about the booklet that will be printed. There will be a greater number, but if you print more than a certain number of copies, or only if you print content involving politics or doctrine, you will be able to save yourself the hassle if you manage it. That way the civilians will proceed to improve their printing press on their own, and the more booklets that will be printed will increase the Church's profits. You can also have some control over the management of booklets involving miracles and fame"

"It's a good way for church people not to need to be familiar with technological developments and the preferences of the civilians in the city well. It may be a good drop that more copies to be printed will increase the Church's profits and also have the right to speak on subtle political issues"

The second type of proposal was also positively received by Michelino Sabbath.

From the original world values, it may look like speech repression or censorship.

But there is still no such thing as repressive speech in this world.

We can't afford to play with words, and human society must survive first.

"So what are the weaknesses?

"Right. As explained earlier with an emphasis on the point of how we can save you the hassle of managing, it could be somewhat laborious. This is not the case at the moment, but the increase in printing technology and the increase in the number of civilians able to read the letters could result in an explosion of booklets from one point to another. That would make management by the Church practically impossible."

"Is that possible?

Michelino showed skepticism about the future statue I envisioned.

Perhaps, but I feel that the type and number of printed materials assumed are three different digits.

Around that, I can't help it because it's the difference in common sense between myself knowing the world where thousands to tens of thousands of books are printed a month and the world where the printing industry is about to wander.
