St. Hereticus
I see theology as a venture doomed to perpetual but creative frustration, since the test of theology's integrity must be its stubborn unwillingness to confuse its own utterances with the one about whom it is speaking...(My most important theological contribution is surely The Collected Writings of St. Hereticus, an attempt to lampoon the whole venture from within--a book long since remaindered as if in gentle vindication of the fact that attempts to show the transitory nature of theology are themselves transitory.)
