Hillary Clinton Goes to the Vatican

But she won't be going because of an invitation, the Vatican could not afford her fee for speaking.  Pope Francis said, "What?  You think I am Goldman Sachs or something?"



He also prefers when people have enough religion to know the story of Ekekiel as more than a reason to go ooh wow as Samuel L. Jackson does a recital from Ezekiel in "Pulp Fiction" although Pope Francis says he understands Clinton's attraction to that title.  Jackson sure did one masterful job of it, tho.  If he really were a preacher, everyone in the country would believe.

Ezekiel wasn't some fly-by-night invented for the New Testament but rather was fundamental to the shaping of Judaism in the Torah and his story is more one of imagination and vision than it is of vengeance, no matter how he may be portrayed by Quentin Tarantino ... or Hillary Clinton.


Something interesting here at the Rockhouse was seeing Ezekiel was born around 600 B.C. and that's a startling revelation to see the formation of Judaism only six hundred years before the birth of Jesus.  The history goes back much longer than that so more review is needed to get an understanding of it.

Generally speaking, there was Zoroastrianism, time passes, and then Judaism arrives.  It's not clear how much time passed and that's of interest because it seems there's a large gap between the fade to black of Zoroastrianism and the advent of Judaism.
