From Rome to Ayutthaya

Snake King continues, "Mr. Pope, I believe we are at odds here. You can only see your position from a spiritual perspective, while I can only see it from a secular perspective. Neither of us seem to be able to approach it from a different perspective. Is this right? I can not say. But what I can say is that it seems we share similar ideologies, but that we approach them from very different perspectives."

Archbishop Eoh Min-Gyu from Korea continues to observe silently, frowning at the ideas of socialism and beginning to wonder what the true purpose of this meeting is.

Daimyo Otomo Yoshihisa and Archbishop Uda Bakin from Kyushu do more than wonder, with Daimyo Otomo Yoshihisa speaking up. "Forgive the interruption, Your Holiness, but what is the purpose of this meeting? If it is to spread your cause of socialism, then I am afraid that we must take our leave. Kyushu has no interest in joining your revolution, and I have important things to be doing back at home. We came today to discuss terms of Catholicism in Asia and our relations, not your socialist revolution. Shall we discuss these terms, or do you wish to continue debating the finer points of socialism?

Archbishop Eoh Min-Gyu nods in agreement.

Snake King just crosses his arms and waits.

Pope Boon-nam addresses the men.
"This is not about our governing style or religious pretenses, but rather doing the right thing in the face of those who seek to destroy us. Can we at least agree upon that?"
He says trying to calm the group.

Snake King smiles slyly. "Perhaps we could agree to this. Perhaps. But, shall we get down to business, what is the purpose of today's meeting?"

The 64 year old Pope straightened his back, "I brought you here to not only talk to you individually on certain subject matters but talk about the growing ambitions of other powers. Ambitions that may very well bring conflict to Asia and the Caribbean. The growing of ambition in the Americas threaten the Caribbean and The British Commonwealth plans to rebuild to its former glory... And that threatens us all. There is also the reports of human traffickers operating in Africa and Asia."
