Sunday's readings are always complementary. This Sunday's epistle,
however, is clearly a mistake. In Paul's epistle he makes a sensible
argument for order and structure. Regrettably, included hidden within, is
the fearful lightning rod for suffragettes: "Let women be subject to
their husbands." Paul's ignorance of Locke and Madison has allowed this
epistle to overshadow today's crucial gospel, the culmination of the Son
of Man/Bread of Life narrative.
What happens? Dissension. Disbelief. Abandonment. Well meaning followers
can not continue; Judas is given a motive. The faithful apostles are
left with the weakest of options: "Lord. to whom shall we go?"
That will not be reason enough if the story ends in death.
