Ah...hypocrisy...

So....I'm mulling over an exchange I had with a co-worker which has confounded me. In relation to this story which she is just hearing about...
My comment was that my world would not come to a crashing halt if (big if... HUGE if....gigantic IF) it turned out that Jesus was in fact married to Mary Magdalen. I'm not trying to blaspheme...or anything...just, it wouldn't blow me away. She sorta freaked. Talking about how it would totally change how she felt about Jesus.
I explained that if we believe that Jesus was truely human and truely divine (which I believe(and which probably makes this point moot)) and without sin (which I believe) it's not out of the bounds of reality that he could have been married.
But, she replies, how could the church have been around so long and it not be revealed in scripture (Jesus didn't talk about a family)?
To which I sort of sarcastically make the comment that the church chose what scriptures were included in the canon.
and she posits that the Church was guided by the Holy Spirit (a point I didn't deny and in which I have faith)....
and I reply with....well the Church has been run by "humans" and not the Holy Spirit.
and she moves away......only to say...."you wouldn't teach this opinion in your religion class would you?"
Out loud...."Uh...no....NEVER....unless I wanted to lose my job"
In my head ...."Are you seriously asking me that??? pull your head out....I said I don't actually believe this fact--just that it wouldn't break my faith....panic girl...sheesh"

so....a bit later I was telling her how one of the junior high girls saw Jesus during exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.

and she acts like it's unbelievable. oh ye of little faith.....
