Henry, to whom I belatedly link my blog, believes in childhood as a theological proposition, which confirms Heriberto's original point.

Later: Henry disagrees: I am not getting dumber, but smarter and more scintillating! (Thanks.) He also disagrees that his extrapolation of childhood to theology proves Yépez right. I fear I have misrepresented the original article, which probably no one else has read, since it is in Spanish and not on line. He does not mean (I think) that children do not literally exist, but that anyone's evocation of children/childhood is (almost) always an ideological move or projection. I thought I detected just such a move in Henry's nicely wrought theological conceit, but I won't insist on this.
