Heresy at school

[warshipadmin]

Christmas concert. The lovely to sing carol "When Christ was born of Mary free" seems to me to be stepping very close to the Anabaptist heresy that Jesus took nothing physical from Mary. Smashing chorus though. Well that's enough bad theology for one lifetime.

One year, our college shortened the Easter holiday by a week, did a sorta 'Religious Retreat' in hope of finding some-one, any-one with a desire to 'Take The Cloth'.

They locked out the library's Literature / Fiction and Science / Technical sections !!
Aaaaaargh !!!

So, I glumly ploughed through a lot of the weighty 'Religion / Philosophy' titles.
At about three per day.
{ Shudder...}

Beyond surfeit of circular illogic, most Early Church stuff was rudely revealed as a conflated, ret-conned, point-of-Roman-Sword assemblage.

That thing about 'Pay Unto Caesar' ??
Yay ! 'Assured Tax Collection' for the win !!!

And then, like pre-Copernicus astronomy, equants piled upon widgets upon whatsits.
But, like Jenga, you had only to remove one (1) keystone to collapse entire edifice...

By the end of week, I'd gone from 'politely polite' to 'Militant Agnostic'.
After what I then did to the GCSE 'Religious Studies' Mock-exam, I was the only kid in that 4-class ~130 student year to have the real thing waived...

I've just been reading some ACOUP on armor (https://acoup.blog/2024/11/29/collectio ... ody-armor/) and that obviously isn't a real Space Marine. His pauldrons are way too small, and don't poke up beside his head enough.

And he doesn't have a helmet.....

That's why they had the Nicene Creed drawn up, to stamp out various non orthodoxies people had puzzled out on their own. This one in particular often popped up as it resolves some knotty problems.

He's an Inquisitor, the ones Space Marines are scared of. Malleus Haereticorum!

Pauldrons still aren't big enough for a real Space Marine. (Yes, Inquisitor, but definitely Space Marine inspired.)

See here:

Now are you talking about the Anabaptist Heresy, or the non-orthodoxy of excessively small Space Marine pauldrons? I can see both being active topics for religious debate.
