Ok Bunkies, I’m not going to lie to you, this is a tough one to understand. The old ladies in the back of church, dutifully saying their decades of rosaries, will explain it to you but you’ll either get it or not. Today is Ascension Thursday. 40 days after Jesus rose from the death on Easter Sunday, his corporal body ascends into Heaven. 10 days later, his (the Holy Spirit) spirit comes back for a visit on Pentecost Sunday.
While Springsteen is right, It’s hard to be a saint in the city – it’s damned near impossible to understand theological canon.
