Quite right, though in the same vein the Reformation (or the ideals, at least) allowed for greater religious freedom...the freedom to interpret for yourself. Some would say this is a boon, others a bane. So does this mean the Fool is a Fundamentalist? I think his interpretations of the bible definitely resemble them. Perhaps he's an anti-Fundamentalist (though not in the sense he's against Fundamentalism, but that he's a fundamentalist in the opposite sense)...
