I like this a lot but Shippey should have done a bot more homework when it comes to Catholic theology.

Liking it so far. I love the trope of a wild frontiersman with a sense of justice being restricted by a corrupt authority.

Something I haven't caught before; the description of Greek mythology as something that went upwards, and the Roman mythology as something that went downwards. Rome had gods for all little things; door knobs and fountains. Like elves they surrounded the home, making it a sacred place. Greek gods were lofty, living up on a mountain, far removed from humanity.

Something new hit me! The image of the church as lion tamer, bringing to heel various dangers ideas. Also of Orthodoxy as a wild balancing act, with fiery or dark pits of heresy to either side. Not somrthing old and boring, but a dangerous adventure.
