More on the Fairy Queen

On my last blog, I cited a Catholic website that interpreted scripture to prove that the Catholic Church is not the "Whore". I'm not going to discuss it anymore, except to say: ".. .Revelation 18:20 and 18:24 prove that the Whore had to be a creature of the first century, which, in the Fundamentalist view, the Catholic Church was not. Thus, on their own view, their identification of the Catholic Church with the Whore is completely impossible! Only ancient, pagan Rome or apostate Jerusalem could possibly be the Whore."

I realize the writers are referring to the Fundamentalist Christian interpretation and not the Anglican Church of Renaissance England. However, it is still worthy of note. If you, the reader, are interested in reading the entire text of the article, access the aforementioned website.

I'm trying to think of some positive things to say about this piece of literature and I am having a
a difficult time because every Fairy Tale I ever loved somehow seems tainted. Thank goodness for C.S. Lewis.
Anyway, Edmund Spenser was an extremely talented writer and tells a heck of a fascinating story. Enough about FQ.
