They are the enigmas of Salomon.
That is his answer to the queen.

:35:09
We received the message.
Thank you.

:35:16
If you really believe
in these extra-human contacts,

:35:20
why do you not move inside the soul
of the Queen of Saba ?

:35:24
She has soul deficiency,
as all women do.

:35:27
The Council of Trento gave judgement
on this nonsense.

:35:32
Women possess only two soul
qualities. Men have three.

:35:37
Women lack the noble soul,
the immortal one.

:35:44
But for a real woman,
even one soul is more than enough,

:35:49
as long as it blends in with that
of a man, in perfect harmony,

:35:53
with the fusion of their bodies.

What do you want, Marquese ?
Oh, yes. I understand.

She want us to hear the opinion
of her young niece, Edvige,

:36:18

What were you studying this morning,
my child ?

:36:25
I was reading Saint Augustine,
which I found absurd.

:36:29
I think I can disprove
some of his statements.

:36:33
Which of his statements
did you disprove ?

:36:36
His theory on the mother
of the Savior.

:36:39
Saint Augustine sustains that Mary
conceived Jesus through her ears.

:36:44
- Do you doubt it ?
- Yes, for three reasons.

:36:49
First: because God, since He is not
material substance,

:36:53
needs no hole through which
to enter or exit.

:36:59
Second: the hearing tubes do not
communicate with maternal alveolus.
