A: No. Watch what happens when you apply logic to religious dogma!
1: Christ is the Head of the Church.
2: The Church is the Body of Christ.
3: By substituting 1 into 2 we get: The Church is the Body of the Head of the Church.
4: Wait. That can't be right. Hold on.
5: By substituting 2 into 1 we get: Christ is the Head of the Body of Christ.
6: Conclusion: Christ is his Own Head.
This difficulty can of course be avoided by realizing that sometimes religious statements are not meant to be taken literally and instead refer to Esoteric and Numinous Truths by way of Metaphor.
This is the part where we quote something that sounds all spiritual and seems to have some deep meaning.
Looking behind
That which appears to contain a message
you may find no meaning.

A member of the ILHJ must always be on a quest for the Acton Mountain Giant Asparagus, which is Lost. The details of how this mighty vegetable failed to be accounted for are presented in another document. Just keep your eyes open and your taste buds prepared for action. Because after all this time, we really don't know if the original story can be interpreted literally or not and so the Asparagus might just be extra green or mighty tasty. That is, the "giant" part might be a Spiritual Metaphor disguising a Deeper Truth or something like that. Furthermore, Acton Mountain may represent a higher plane of being or the exalted spiritual status that comes from pursuing justice and peace. We honestly don't know anymore, really. Just be alert.
Here Ends the Document
Every Man Her Own Pope
Glory to You, Lord Christ
