Summary

Support this channel: thesymbolicworld.com/support/ patreon: www.patreon.com/pageauvideos subscribestar: www.subscribestar.com/jonathan-pageau paypal: www.paypal.me/JonathanPageau The story of the relationship between adultery, cuckolding and the building of larger than life characters has been a narrative puzzle from the very ancient times. The problem of losing women to strangers or to a king or a god has also been a continuous social question. We examine how Christianity deals with this problem and solves the puzzle.

So before we start, I just want to emphasize that I know that some people have said that they watch my video with their kids and

0:07.4

sadly this video is definitely not going to be one you're going to watch with your kids. I'm going to deal with an important subject. I'm going to try to not necessarily use big words, but inevitably it will deal with some difficult things.

For several years now, we've seen the subject of the cuckolding appear in the vision of politics, especially in the right-wing circles.

0:31.6

We've heard people talk about this subject using it as an accusation for people who are

0:37.1

willing to sacrifice their own culture in order to

0:39.7

engage with other, in order to receive other cultures, you would say, and are self-deprecating.

0:46.3

And so they've used this term to talk about it. And it's an interesting use of the term,

0:52.3

but I also, and one of the things that I've seen is people

0:55.4

asking me about Joseph. And in the story of the incarnation, we see that Joseph, who is promised

1:02.6

Mary, is then all of a sudden surprised to find that his wife is pregnant and that she is

1:09.9

pregnant with the son of God. And so in a way, some people

1:13.7

1:24.7

this question, see what it could mean because this notion is a pattern

1:29.4

of reality, one which is more pervasive than you think, and also one which actually is, doesn't

1:36.2

always have the same meaning and can also have a double meaning that we'll both look at,

1:40.8

and it might also temper the way that people try to use it in order to attack their

1:45.8

political enemies.

Welcome to the symbolic world.
