Tertullian was born in Carthage somewhere about 160 A.D. He was a pagan, and he abandoned himself to the lascivious life of his city until about his 35th year, when he became a Christian .... To him is ascribed the sublime confession: Credo quia absurdum est (I believe because it is absurd). This does not altogether accord with historical fact, for he merely said: "And the Son of God died, which is immediately credible because it is absurd. And buried he rose again, which is certain because it is impossible." Thanks to the acuteness of his mind, he saw through the poverty of philosophical and Gnostic knowledge, and contemptuously rejected it.

C. G. Jung, in Psychological Types (Teruillian was one of the founders of the Catholic Church).

Okay, with actor Barry Brigg playing Gabriel. Hey, this is in Lichfield, I’ve been in that cathedral. Pamela found this one.
