An article in this morning's New York Times about The Da Vinci Code being made into a film...not quite yet, but some talk about it.

The collapse of the Roman Catholic Church is part of the new planetary scenario. I believe we are living under the last full papacy. When JPII goes to heaven, a new guy will be put in, but only to oversee the dismantling of the whole operation.

The Code has opened up the public imagination to the notion that organized religion is at least suspect, if not dangerous. We don't need it. We've outgrown it.

Epiphany

A Christian feast celebrating the manifestation of the divine nature of Jesus to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi. January 6, on which this feast is traditionally observed. A revelatory manifestation of a divine being.

A sudden manifestation of the essence or meaning of something.

A comprehension or perception of reality by means of a sudden intuitive realization: “I experienced an epiphany, a spiritual flash that would change the way I viewed myself” (Frank Maier).
