The Story of the Saint-Heretic
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 51591
|
Perhaps it was his similarity of name to Belboz that made Elashi think of
Father Balboas's story. "This is a story concerning the Second
Reconstruction, which took place in my homeland several hundred years
ago," she began. "The hero - or villain, depending on your point of view -
of my tale is a priest, Father Balboas, who was widely known as the Saint-
Heretic."
"I've never had much time for religion," Belboz said. "Except that the religious wars of long ago, before I became isolated here, used to provide me with a plentiful supply of dead bodies for my work." "Had you been in my country at the time of which I speak, there would have been no shortage of corpses. For the Saint-Heretic's vision of a reconstructed church and society led to terrible bloodshed between his faction and those who wished to preserve the established order."
