Didn't catch the age discrepancy, I'm just guessing on this one.
The one thing which confuses me he keeps saying he deosn't remember his parents and keeps asking others about them, what did the look like, who were they, etc? Asked Dossier and Sister Mary. If he has true memories of them, why does he keep trying to remember them and ask others who they were/what they looked like?
Yes the AGE DISCREPANCY hits one over the head like a LEAD BALLOON letting us know that there's definitely something VERY WRONG with LENNY'S MEMORIES.
And when they combine them with these other VISIONS that he sees of the 18 YEAR OLD GIRL in the GARDEN (the one who is up for SAINT HOOD), and with his other NIGHT VISION of the TOPLESS ABORTION PROTESTERS who were also in the GARDEN, then we've also been given HINTS that the VISIONS he sees of his HIPPIE PARENTS aren't REAL either.
And all ANDREW said that he remembered was LENNY'S mother had a PART in the MIDDLE of her hair.
But LENNY also claims to remember the SMELL of his MOTHER which might be a REAL MEMORY.
Sister Antonia isn't his mother but she is the embodiment of the evil he sees in the church. Why out of all the backstabbers, his enemies, the abusers did he pray for god to physically stop her? Why didn't he pray for the dictator to die, the people fighting the war creating the problem? His own enemies? His concern IMO is foremost the church and she embodied the selfishness and corruption of the individual members of the church. He seems to have made a change after Africa, a new more humbled child like Pope.
ON DEMAND has something after EACH EPISODE where they discuss the show. And at the end of EP. 8 the creator says he deliberately leaves it AMBIGUOUS as to whether or not LENNY had something to do with the death of this NUN who HOARDS the water.
So he's also leaving it open that LENNY may also NOT have been responsible for her death.
And someone may also have POISONED that BOTTLE of water she drank. NOTE the way the woman she goes to for help also TURNS OVER in her SLEEP and REFUSED to help her. So maybe she's also the one who did it??? Especially if she was tired of being woke up in the middle of the night with the NUN wanting sexual favors from her???
Did the DICTATOR HOARD the WATER???
Did he know about it???
That also wasn't made clear to us. Was the WAR over the water???
Whatever they're fighting about was also LEFT AMBIGUOUS.
Rather than fighting the whole church, now taking on the individuals causing the corruption? Hence maybe he did something right and god did as he asked....or Antonia was simply poisoned.
This is what one suspects happened due to the reaction she had after drinking the water. But she may also have had a heart attack as well.
The significance of his age in his childhood vision, could relate to The sacrament of the first communion. Its performed at around 7 or age 8. A big event and is celebrated by the family, gifts are sometimes given. The child should be baptized by age 8 and that vision of them being near water may have some significance to those important ages, especially the age of needing to be baptized.
Yes AGE 7 is the age of first communion. I remember my 1st cousins and other neighborhood kids at that age. The neighborhood kids would also go to CATHOLIC SCHOOL until their FIRST communion, and then they'd join the rest of us in PUBLIC SCHOOL, and they'd also be way ahead of us, because we first learned to PRINT letters before we learned CURSIVE writing at age 8.
But the CATHOLIC KIDS already knew how to write in the CURSIVE STYLE.
And since it's also the AGE where one is suppose to be old enough to understand SIN, then shouldn't LENNY also be OLD ENOUGH to recall CORRECTLY what his PARENTS looked like???
That's still another CLUE that something's not right.
Because MOST 7 YEAR OLDS would probably also still remember what their parents looked like.
And that leaves one with the impression that SISTER MARY may have told LENNY stories about his parents that were FAIRY TALES, perhaps as a way to try and save him from the BAD MEMORY of some other kind of PAINFUL situation???
If his MOTHER had an ASTHMA ATTACK and died in front of LENNY, for example, maybe he also kept having NIGHTMARES about it after it happened???
So maybe SISTER MARY also told him FAIRY TALE versions of what happened, the same way as the other 18 year old MADE UP FAIRY TALE versions of the VIRGIN MARY for the other sick kids???
Since Voiello keeps acting like he and SISTER MARY are intimate, wonder if SISTER MARY might also be LENNY's MOTHER???
The NEW SPOILER INFO TOPIC also tells us something else very interesting about VOIELLO that's coming up soon.
So if you don't mind being SPOILED, then check out that TOPIC.
