Heaven’s Worst Day at the Office

When no angels or demons show up to claim his soul, a dead peasant takes matters into his own hands and walks straight into Heaven. Saint Peter tries to kick him out. So does Saint Thomas. Then Saint Paul. All three are verbally demolished by a man who’s had just about enough of sanctimonious gatekeeping. Even Christ Himself has to admit defeat.L’arme qui guangna paradis par plait (The soul that argued its way into heaven) is wild fabliau about divine bureaucracy, celestial loopholes, and the power of a really, really solid argument.📜 Text: Translation by Nathaniel E.
