| A parody is reality
with a comedic twist, designed to teach a principle
or to make a point. A Divine Parody aims first
of all to convey Christian principles, often
pointing to reform. A parody might
incidentally expose human foibles,
criticize complacency and hypocrisy, and tweak the
noses of the prideful or those who benefit from the status
quo. "The Praise of
Folly" by Desiderius Erasmus, a Christian monk
and philosopher, is perhaps the best and most
time-honored example of Christian parody.
