Saints, Skulls, and Satire

This chapter humorously explores the life and legacy of St. Jerome, focusing on his peculiar obsession with skulls and the absurdities of religious schooling. The speakers share irreverent anecdotes about the early saints of Christianity, their gruesome fates, and the mystical attributes associated with sainthood, likening them to modern corporate structures. Through witty banter and critical commentary, they discuss the blend of historical persecution, societal perceptions of holiness, and the evolving roles of saints in both ancient and contemporary contexts.
