"The other way to contribute is by maintaining the land that nurtures doctrine!"
"Our feet stand upon London! Upon this land live the devotees of the Goddess! To protect them is to protect the Church! That is a contribution!"
Bishop Fowler listened dumbly to Marvin's speech, suddenly feeling an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.
He was starting to feel desperate.
Today's efforts turned to dust in the wake of Marvin's speech.
Such an opponent was terrifying, give him a chance, and he would link a congressional election with religious activities.
As if running for office was for the sake of the Goddess!
And you couldn't even find fault with it...
Protecting London, in a sense, was indeed protecting the Church, protecting the Goddess.
Once these two concepts were linked, Marvin would stand unbeatable.
All of Bishop Fowler's earlier criticisms would be rendered futile...
While despairing, Bishop Fowler also breathed a sigh of relief.
