It The Vessel That's The Issue....
a: Virgin birth ~
b: clay jug
What: "Our dogma may be symbolic and metaphorical, but its literal sense is indispensable to us as the vessel of the Mystery. The Virgin Birth is like a clay jug, in which the rarest of late-harvest wines is carried. Without the jug, we could never taste the wine. Likewise, the supernatural incomprehensibility of the Incarnation is contained in the Dogma of the Virgin Birth, so that we might in some way adore it."
