Courtesy of blogger Sharon Cobb, I came across this item in which Pope Benny tells us that he considers Bob Dylan to be “a false prophet.”I would like to hear the Pope elaborate on that. Upon which item of church teaching does his think Dylan poses a threat of some kind? How exactly is Dylan heretical?
Maybe the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger doesn’t get Dylan’s cultural significance. Could it be somehow that His Holiness doesn’t know what Dylan understands, which is that Dylan is, to a certain extent, what we make of him, which is either everything or nothing (or, to put it in Dylan-ese, if you will, “the first one now will later be last”?).
Kind of reminds me of His words, namely “the first shall be last and the last shall be first" (Mark 9:35; 10:31, Matthew 19:30; 20:16), don’t you think?
