I'm thinking of reliefs over cathedral doors where Christ is holding a tiny figure (a soul?) in his hands, but no way of telling who the soul is supposed to belong to. Also, Nicodemus interprets the removal of Adam and Eve from hell as the forgiving of original sin. Is it the view of the Church at the present time that original sin has been forgiven? pat sloane %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
