What Are You Talking About?

This is not the gospel. At all. I actually had a teacher--no Tridentine papist, mind you--say when lecturing on Psalm 24:4, "If you say this is Jesus who does it all for us, I'm going to slap you." And good for him. Because that isn't what it says. Paging Fred Noltie! For all the Rome jokes, and the cracks about Borg marching orders, I'm here to tell you, mother Church's grid is pretty wide open. You get the big stuff right, you can interpret the Bible to your heart's content. It's this grid that is limiting and authoritarian. I don't even recognize this figure of Jesus you are attempting to fashion. Someone should say it.
