>Is there any other kind?
Yes, there is Victoria's catholicism, or the Bad Priest's
catholicism and there is the Catholicism of the people of Malta, that
island blessed by the ship wrecked St. Paul. The
catholicism of the unified people (unity is Fausto's term and
he or Pynchon takes it from Henry Adams) under the
street, in the womb of rock, one people, one church, one
god, and of course, one virgin earth and "we believe
in the forgiveness of sin." The bad priest doesn't
believe in the forgiveness of sin, so she's not really
a catholic at all, but a dyanmo.
Try page 318 "Faith GOD HIS CHURCH" the Womb of
our maltese rock to her children. Something given
us in return for being filial and constant, children
also of God.
