in one of Philip K.Dicks shorts stories he has these unearthly super power creatures that erase all passages that are lies in books.
When his lead character comes to Tom Paine's "Age of Reason" he finds every page blank.
He is shocked, he asks them why?
They reply: The earth is without reason, it is irrational. The author is highminded but has lost touch with reality; the fact is the earth is fundamentally insane.
A women giving her life to promote Ivan the Terrible to SaintHood is quite consistent with human behavior:(
That the Catholic Church should be founded on the teachings of a semi-psychotic, Augustine of Hippo; but then insist it, the Church, is Jesus Christ's representative on earth is again quite consistent with human behavior.

I have a friend who was in a seminary student for the Jesuit priesthood, he quit when he found the church had nothing to do with the man Jesus but was but the church of Augustine of Hippo.
A man,'Saint' Augustine, who amomg other things judged it alright to torture and kill christians guilty of heresy; which was basically those being guilty of dismissing the teaching of 'Saint' Augustine.
