Stories from Roman Catholic Mass are versions of the many metaphoric translations that have been clung to, fought over, and died for throughout history. We can love our stories, however, limited, finding comfort in them. We cannot claim human languages are sufficient substitutes for that the Forever Unknowable Force of Life. The real story is in the roots and the stars. What if Science was defined as the Theology of Wonder without the crutch of metaphor, and we could accept Biology and Astrophysics as the “Word of God?”
