In the Temple of Pretend, Caesar is no longer God. In the Temple of Pretend, the poor are blessed, the mourners rejoice, lepers are whole, sinners are forgiven, the blind see, the deaf hear and the dumb speak. Martyrs are born in the Temple of Pretend. The seeds of justice are sown in the Temple of Pretend. Bread becomes Christ s body.
Water is turned into wine.
Death is swallowed up by life. In the frozen hearts and intellects of the pagan world, God may be dead. But here, in the Temple of Pretend, he just won t lie down.
