This jogs from the depths of my memory a story about a
theologia/saint? lecturing a class that on the day of Judgement men
would be resurrected without their genitals. This so incensed the
(presumably male) class that they rose as a body and stabbed him to
death with their styluses.
Is this a version of the same story? Is there any theological
foundation in such a teaching?
