ChaosChristian asked what Green Eggs and Ham would be like if it were written by Hans Kung. The following was my response:
---
I will not eat the bread or drink the wine, as I do not accept the party line. I do not believe it's the blood or the man, I do not believe it, Sam I Am.
Although it is accepted by the majority, you don't have to accept Papal authority. Transubstantiation on the other hand, is the mark of our brand.
You may say it is of the ways Apostolic, but I am not Roman Catholic.
Would you eat it in a lurch? Would you eat it in a Church?
I would not eat it in a lurch. I would not eat it in a Church. The bread does not become the man, I do not accept it Sam I Am.
Would you eat it as part of the new creation? Would you eat it with the congregation?
I would not eat it as part of the new creation. I would not eat it with the congregation. I would not eat it in a lurch. I would not eat it in a Church. The bread does not become the man, I do not accept it Sam I Am.
Would you eat it for the sake of variety? Would you eat it for the sake of piety?
I would not, could not eat it for the sake of variety. I would not, could not eat it for the sake of piety. I would not eat it as part of the new creation. I would not eat it with the congregation. I would not eat it in a lurch. I would not eat it in a Church. The bread does not become the man, I do not accept it Sam I Am.
You must take a bite as the priest leads. You must take heed of my pleas. Our Church is not the harlot on the beast, you must give us a try at least.
Fine. Fine. I'll give in with a sigh. If you really insist, I'll give it a try... Wow! I think it really did become the blood and the flesh. The doctrine all begins to mesh. I think it really did become the man. I finally believe it, Sam I Am.
