Stories are what the world is made of. They shape how we think. They determine what is “common sense” to us.

Change the stories, and you change the reality that we live in.

They change the reality we think we live in. The school of hard knocks separates the ones who believe in viable world models from those who don't.

How did Pope Gelasius label her apocryphal when she was born many centuries later? Something seems wrong with this story.

I think 'life' in "In an 11th-century English life of Saint Margaret" means a chronicle.

If she existed it was in the 3rd century.
