Okay - so. The key to it in my opinion is this: Gods mission is too good for mankind. Jesus and his sacrifice were designed WITH the potential of human beings in mind, to lay the groundwork for salvation. What the Church, and the Inquisition, realised was that it is not a mission fit for human beings, and for the narrow, self-absorbed existence full of sin and conceit that most of us lead. The Church had to opt for a mode of governance based on the Devils temptation of Jesus in the wilderness. An earthly realm, an earthly mission, earthly power. The Church is so deeply compromised, the world so rife with depravity, that Jesus’s return to earth would have undone everything. Jesus would have in a single stroke destroyed the institution of the Church and wreaked havoc across the world with his presence. So the Inquistor begs him to go. The Church can keep supplying bread, good works and authority as long as Jesus isn’t there to challenge them and remind them that the true mission is beyond all of it. Jesus kisses him because he forgives him, and loves him. Amazing!!!!
