Though the Huge Cathedral is a place of piety and purity, jealous lords who have ambitions of divine grandeur consider these structures of unrivalled magnificence to be a vulgar display of wealth. For the ruler that has such wealth, the benefits are undeniable, as the huge cathedral ensures Christian dominance in the region, and does much to spiritually satiate his subjects.
儘管巨型教堂是虔誠和純潔的象徵,但欲控制神權的統治者們卻將修建這座宏偉建築作為財富和國力的炫耀手段。如此雄偉的教堂一旦建成,帶來好處不可勝數,除令東正教成為該地區主流信仰外,尚可借上帝威望加強國家統治。 |
