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

:36:14
She want us to hear the opinion
of her young niece, Edvige,

:36:18
who is very learned in theology.
:36:21
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.

:37:04
Third: if the Virgin Mary
had conceived through her ears,

:37:08
she should have given birth
through her ears, right ?

:37:11
But in this case... Excuse me...
:37:15
In this case,
the Catholics are right

:37:17
in considering the Virgin,
a virgin before she conceived.
