I might be wrong, but I imagine that most people would say - Satan has sex with a woman through a zombie man, therefore evilness is passed to the kid. Especially, if the kid is the AC. Are you over thinking this? The spiritual side of Connor should be powerful to manipulate the physical world.

And of course! This is just brainstorming!

BUT! Sin enters at conception. Catholics say that Mary had the Immaculate Conception. You really complicate things by having a zombie in the equation. But the zombie was originally full of sin. So, it was passed to Connor... again, the zombie aspect is tricky and I'm assuming a zombie has a sin nature? They're controlled by demons. Satan is obviously bad spiritually. Maybe you can wiggle around the issue saying that zombies have no sin nature. Sin is passed through the man. BUT, the power is spiritual so Satan won't need to finagle the sperm.

My brain is beginning to zone out... tell me what you think.

Yeah! If at night, make sure the moon is full so that moon light falls through the crack onto the rubble on the floor! Sun light will do the trick during the day. Have the shadows form scary teethlike images. Sorry, I'm getting into it...

Oops, I edited my post and you responded before I posted...

One other admirable thing about your writing is that you have respect for the Catholic Church. So be nice when you tear St. Peter's apart! :-)

I feel like I'm entering this midstream. Why was it a problem to have Satan bring a church down? If there are Christians inside worshipping and praying at the time, then it makes more sense that he needs help. Or if there is much prayer offered up on behalf of the church regularly then it also makes more sense that he needs help. I have a hunch this might be how some Catholics will think about it.

Sorry if I'm getting too cynical but if the church is run by a Catholic in Name only (CINO) and there's no spiritual life there... then take it down! I can say the same for Protestant, too.

And why not just have the extra demons show up when needed? Gather the forces! Attack!

1. There is a Catholic Charismatic Renewal going on. I belong to one of their groups even though I'm a protestant.
2. Correct. It would be tricky to blatantly contradict the Bible. Cardinals in strategic locations are needed to twist, distort, etc.
3. A weak example is when you had actual dragonflies attack Conner in Israel. I thought those REPRESENTED helicopters or something. I thought they would be big not bug like.
4. This is REALLY weak but Revelation 12 figurative talks about the birth of Jesus. You would have to construct it to point to Connor.

Revelation 12 And then a great wonder appeared in heaven: There was a woman who was clothed with the sun, and the moon was under her feet. She had a crown of twelve stars on her head (Spiritually speaking, Campagna was incredible). 2 She was pregnant and cried out with pain because she was about to give birth (Just like it happened to Campagna).

3 Then another wonder appeared in heaven: There was a giant red dragon there. The dragon had seven heads with a crown on each head. It also had ten horns. 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and threw them down to the earth (They were ready to wage war and kill Conner). It stood in front of the woman who was ready to give birth to the baby. It wanted to eat the woman’s baby as soon as it was born. (Satan wanted her to abort the baby! He was ready to kill it. But she said no!)

5 The woman gave birth to a son, who would rule all the nations with an iron rod (look at Connor's power! He should rule all nations). And her child was taken up to God and to his throne. 6 The woman ran away into the desert to a place that God had prepared for her (Campagna was in the police department for years separated from her son. It was like being in the desert for her). There she would be taken care of for 1260 days (this somehow has to be twisted but I'm not sure). (There are more verses but it complicates what I would like to see.)

There might be other verses in other chapters, but I can't think of them right now.

Before I dig into the rest of your post, I must ask - Are you referring to a timeline defined by Revelations or the entire Bible or what? I ask because I understand that Revelations can be figurative. Does that include the timeline? In other words, is Revelations just a series of descriptions not set in a rigid order? Of course, the end stuff is obviously in order! Just a thought!

I'm not a theologian but don't you mean his role in the OT and NT? I've heard Satan described as the accuser of the brethren.

Wouldn't it be premeditated murder? I have a feeling that that is hellish behavior.

I'm trying to remember how much de Rosa did. Should he jump in a little more with a slip here and there that causes people to wonder? Maybe have him and Connor lock eyes at some point and Connor turns nastily away. De Rosa always goes with the flow. Maybe he should swim against the flow. Or at least go in a different direction than Campagna sometime.

I might be stating things that you've already done but I have a great excuse in that I was on brain fog meds for a while :-)

Comment:
1. Really? Even with the Zombie Nuns and floating Conner? You manage to weave the history, geography, and story quite well. I remember commenting to you that it was not really a vacation of any sort! There was so much stuff going on. I'd have to reread it again but at this point I might respectfully disagree with you.

2. If you mean that the final revelation is about 100% and not a slow build, then you might be right. Conner lying was a flag that bothered me, but I told you about it and now I understand why you never anything with it. Perhaps a couple more things like that might be useful. Just some stuff that would cause increasing large question marks. Maybe he burns his fingers when it picks up the element when the monstrance is knocked over. The near 100% really caught me off guard.  But which is better? And of course, Darth's statement "I am your father." caught the world off guard by 100%. It was great.
