(Re: “Sem Eye: The birth of Christ and kitsch,” Kerux, Dec. 22, 2006)

What a fine Christmas edition. Regarding the recent Sem Eye featuring Totus Tuus and the slightly panicky girl. and "what happened to her legs…?"

What happened to her legs? Do you pay tuition for nothing? If you'd only reflect theologically these things become obvious! Here are at least two probabilities.

1. It's another wedding miracle. If you look closely at John Paul's full cheeks you can see that he just came from a reception (hence the bundt cake on his head) where they served unusual seafood. Thus the girl displays the super-air-igation of the saints which often follows the consumption of the urchin at an immaculate reception.
2. Or did you think the girl a Monophysitian Apollinariast and thus her sole is absent? You would be wrong. Real scholars doubt this because with both of her soles are missing it would suggest two persons, something which Monophysites would never support.

Anyone who received one of these ornaments must have had THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS EVER.
