You Know You're a Catholic Nerd When the advertising slogan "Part pretzel, part cracker, all good," makes you momentarily want to play the "Spot the Christological Heresy" game.
By the way, why do marketing people assume that something flavored bright orange (the color, not the fruit) tastes like cheddar? As to the Christological analogy, I assume it has something to do with Artotyrite Montanism, whose reverence for cheese is only slightly surpassed by some of my fellow denizens of the Dairy State. Not that I am complaining. Now if you just got the Manichaeans in here with their melons, you could get an entire appetizer table.
*Actually, probably the cracker in question is more precisely speaking, Eutychian, though that is a subset of the Monophysite heresy. I'm thinking fig newtons are Nestorian, though, as it is a thing inside of another thing...or maybe that's more Monothelite....
Mmmm, heretical hors d'oeuvres... You can wash them down with your Opus Dei wine, obviously.
ReplyDeleteIf you put bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomato between two slices of bread and grill it, is the resulting sandwich Chalcedonian? One could argue that it's one sandwich with two natures - that it's fully a BLT and fully a grilled cheese. But have I escaped Christological error only to create a sandwich that's Modalist? i.e., it's both a BLT and a grilled cheese - it just depends on your point of view?
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but I want some! (Not on Friday, of course!)
ReplyDeleteHmmm: I think the question is whether the BLT was begotten before all ages, and merely became a grilled cheese at a certain point in time. On the other hand, grilled cheese is probably a closer reflection of divinity than a BLT is.
