Richard Rohr

But the secular clergy reads the communication and gets stuck with the letter, and that's where you have the conflict. Joseph Campbell

Mythology is not a lie, mythology is poetry, it is metaphorical. It has been well said that mythology is the penultimate truth--penultimate because the ultimate cannot be put into words.
