WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO EVENTS BELOW? CAN WE REALLY TELL A CONSISTENT STORY LINKING THEM?
TASTING THE APPLE BROUGHT PRETTY DIVERSE OUTCOMES. A NUMBER OF PEOPLE EVEN HAD THE FORTUNE OF FINDING OUT HOW TO 'COMPLETE' THE JEWISH SCRIPTURES AND THEREBY TAKE A PATH TO GOD THEY REFER TO AS THE ONLY ONE.
AS ANOTHER RESULT, THOSE VERY INDIVIDUALS EXPELLED EVERY WOMEN FROM THE GOVERNANCE OF THAT PATH - HOW UNGRATEFUL!
AFTER ALL, THEY THEMSELVES REPORT THAT A WOMAN WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING A MAN TAKE THE DEFIANT ACTION OF BITING THE FRUIT.
IN ANSWERING THE QUESTION ABOVE, IS PAPACY-SUPPORTED THEOLOGY THE ONLY NARRATIVE WE CAN COME UP WITH?
WHY HAS IT SURVIVED DESPITE PROVING TOTALLY INCONSISTENT?
SINCE ABIDING TO AUTHORITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN MUCH MORE IMPORTANT TO US THAN SEARCHING, AND ADHERING TO, THE TRUTH, THAT INDICATES WE HAVE NEVER ACTUALLY TASTED THE FRUIT OF KNOWLEDGE WITHIN REACH IN PARADISE.
WHY THEN HAVE WE, IN MANY WAYS (BAPTIZING OUR CHILDREN IS ONE OF THEM), REINFORCED THE IDEA THAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPELLED FROM THERE?
A WOMAN, I, IS NOW INVITING YOU TO BITE THE APPLE OF KNOWLEDGE.
WELCOME TO THE VATICAN, THE STATE THAT ORCHESTRATES NOT ONLY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, BUT, YES, THE PLANET. THIS IS WHAT IS IMPLIED WHEN WE ARE REMINDED THAT 'CATHOLIC' MEANS UNIVERSAL. WE HAVE BOUGHT THIS PART, WRAPPED UP IN THEOLOGY, WHILE REALLY IGNORING THE 'HELL' SIDE,
WIRED THROUGH DIPLOMACY BARELY LEAKED SO FAR.
WIRED THROUGH DIPLOMACY BARELY LEAKED SO FAR.
IT IS ABOUT TIME WE REVIEWED THAT OLD STORY AND MADE UP A ROBUST ONE.
