It's true. You've failed to follow.

That thread was regarding why and whether "The Book of the New Sun" 
contradicted Christian theology. What I said was that there is no reason 
Wolfe would have necessarily felt compelled to have Severian's 
futuristic world align with Christian theology. So, the basic plot and 
setting of the novel is irrelevant.
