[As you well know...]

I take it you're arguing that Saul suffered both brain damage and amnesia, to go along with the blindness, on the road to Damascus? And that Ananias only received an unction to restore Saul's sight, but not his memories and education?

Ha Ha Ha....no. my point that was Saul was very bright and well educated...and he was persecuting the Church that Jesus established; Matt 16:18. Really intelligent men can make very bad decisions.

The fact is that even after Paul/Saul was personally converted by Jesus, he was still sent to the Universal (Catholic) Church for instruction, to have his blindness cured (both physical and spiritual).

As you well know, contra mundum is a great orientation
