The Catholic Saint

It has been cleverly observed by a Catholic saint that the whole of Christianity may be summed up in the action of two men: Adam and Jesus. One responsible for our damnation; the other responsible for our salvation. Unfortunately, what that Catholic saint failed to observed was Christianity's shaky foundation due to the existence of the devil centuries before Adam and Jesus existed. St. Augustine, the Catholic saint referred to here, may have been a soothsayer; but he was not, by any standard, by any measure, a truthteller. Poch Suzara
