Autor je kršćanin koji se je obratio od protestantizma i čudesno povezuje našu suvremenu kulturu koju predstavlja zombijima-čudovištima, s osnutkom Crkve na Pedesetnicu-Duhove koja se nalazi na granici vremena u kojem će i neki od tih usamljenih i polumrtvih čudovišta ući kroz vrata Crkve.
K tome kao likovni stručnjak daje nam objašnjenje ikona koje prikazuju rođenje i život Crkve i na kojoj su uvijek na dnu prikazana vrata kroz koja griješnici 'zombiji' ulaze u Crkve.
Povezao je s temom sv.Kristofora koji se na ikonama prikazuje kao vojnik s licem psa, dakle kao čudovište.
Stoga pretpostavlja da je sv.Kristofor svetac zaštitnik posljednjih vremena zombi apokalipse.
I mi smo bili ili još uvijek jesmo zombiji makar ne sudjelujemo u američkim paradama zombija po ulicama gradova.
Čovječanstvo je izgubilo koheziju u Crkvi te je tako izgubilo vezu s Životom, čovječanstvo je sada nakupina individualaca koji očajnički žele biti posebni, razlikovati se od drugih i na kraju krajeva ne imati ništa s drugima nego živjeti u iluziji vlastitog kozmosa.
A to je definicija smrti, biti bez veze s Bogom koji je Život preko svojih energija koja daje Crkvi, svom mističnom Tijelu, i preko Crkve svim ljudima.
Naravno da u tom stanju živog mrtvaca čovjek ne može biti ispunjen i zadovoljan.
Zombiji svjesno ili podsvjesno žele puni život.
Zato su vrata Crkve otvorena za njih i kao što kaže autor Jonathan Pagenau, svetost oltara se ne onečišćava kad zombi pređe vrata Crkve, jer on je tek na putu dolaska do oltara tako da se prije toga izliječi i očisti od grijeha-zombizma.

OdgovoriIzbriši"It is also shown that the Vicar of Christ has universal jurisdiction over the entire Church of Christ. For it is recorded of the Council of Chalcedon how the whole synod acclaimed Pope Leo: “Long live Leo, the most holy, apostolic, and ecumenical, that is, universal patriarch.”
OdgovoriIzbrišiAnd Chrysostom commenting on Matthew says: “The power Footnote which is of the Father and of the Son himself the Son conferred worldwide on Peter and gave a mortal man authority over all things in heaven, giving him the keys in order that he might extend the Church throughout the world.” Footnote And in homily 85 on John: “He allocated James a determined territory, but he appointed Peter master and teacher of the whole world.” Footnote Again, commenting on the Acts of the Apostles: “Not like Moses over one people, but throughout the whole world Peter received from the Son power over all those who are His sons.”
For Cyril, the Patriarch of Alexandria, says in his Thesaurus: “As Christ coming forth from Israel as leader and sceptre of the Church of the Gentiles was granted by the Father the fullest power over every principality and power and whatever is that all might bend the knee to him, so he entrusted most fully the fullest power to Peter and his successors.” And again: “To no one else but Peter and to him alone Christ gave what is his fully.” And further on: “The feet of Christ are his humanity, that is, the man himself, to whom the whole Trinity gave the fullest power, whom one of the Three assumed in the unity of his person and lifted up on high to the Father above every principality and power, so that all the angels of God might adore him (Heb. 1:6); which whole and entire he has left in sacrament and power to Peter and to his Church.”
For the canon of the Council of Chalcedon says: “If any bishop is sentenced as guilty of infamy, he is free to appeal the sentence to the blessed bishop of old Rome, whom we have as Peter the rock of refuge, and to him alone, in the place of God, with unlimited power, is granted the authority to hear the appeal of a bishop accused of infamy in virtue of the keys given him by the Lord.” And further on: “And whatever has been decreed by him is to be held as from the vicar of the apostolic throne.”
Likewise, Cyril, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, says, speaking in the person of Christ” “You for a while, but I without end will be fully and perfectly in sacrament and authority with all those whom I shall put in your place, just as I am with you.” Footnote And Cyril of Alexandria in his Thesaurus says that the Apostles “in the Gospels and Epistles have affirmed in all their teaching that Peter and his Church are in the place of the Lord, granting him participation in every chapter and assembly, in every election and proclamation of doctrine.” And further on: “To him, that is, to Peter, all by divine ordinance bow the head and the rulers of the world obey him as the Lord himself.” http://dhspriory.org/thomas/ContraErrGraecorum.htm#b31
"It is also demonstrated that to the aforesaid Pontiff belongs the right of deciding what pertains to faith. For Cyril in his Thesaurus says: “Let us remain as members in our head on the apostolic throne of the Roman Pontiffs, from whom it is our duty to seek what we must believe and what we must hold.” Footnote And Maximus in the letter addressed to the Orientals says: “All the ends of the earth which have sincerely received the Lord and Catholics everywhere professing the true faith look to the Church of the Romans as to the sun, and receive from it the light of the Catholic and Apostolic Faith.” Footnote Rightly so, for Peter is recorded as the first to have, while the Lord was enlightening him, confessed the faith perfectly when he said to him (Matt. 16:16): You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. And hence the Lord also said to him (Lk. 22:32): I have prayed for you, Peter, that your faith may not fail.”
OdgovoriIzbriši"It is also clear that he is the superior of the other patriarchs from this statement of Cyril: “It is his”, namely, of the Roman Pontiffs of the apostolic throne, “exclusive right to reprove, correct, enact, resolve, dispose and bind in the name of Him who established it.” Footnote And Chrysostom commenting on the Acts of the Apostles says that “Peter is the most holy summit of the blessed apostolic choir, the good shepherd.”
"Gregory of Nyssa in his sermon on the dead says: “If anyone her in his frail life has been less than able to cleanse himself of sin, after departing hence, through the blazing fire of purgatory the penalty is the more quickly paid, the more and more the ever-faithful Bride offers to her Spouse in memory of his passion gifts and holocausts on behalf of the children she has brought forth for that Spouse by word and sacrament; just as we preach in fidelity to this dogmatic truth, so we believe. Likewise Theodoret, Bishop of Cyr, commenting on that passage of 1 Cor. 3: 11: If any man’s work burn, etc., says thus: “The Apostle states that one is saved thus as through a blazing fire cleansing whatever accumulated through carelessness in life’s activity, or at least from the dust of the feet of earthly living. In this fire one remains so long as any earthly and bodily affections are being purged. For such a person holy Mother Church pays and devoutly offers peace offerings, and so through this such a one emerging clean and pure assists immaculate before the most pure eyes of the Lord of hosts.” http://dhspriory.org/thomas/ContraErrGraecorum.htm#b31
