I missed two. The one about what an Archbishiop does and and the one that said that God dies on the cross. I have always heard, and thought that Aquinas taught, that Christ's human nature died on the cross, but not his divine nature. If God died then doesn't that imply that there was a period during which God did not exist? Otherwise what do they mean by 'death'? I felt the first one was worded in a tricky way. I felt that the wording could be taken to imply that the accidents of the bread and wine disappeared as well.

I'm not so sure about that. Can't the phrase "God dying" be considered to mean that Christ's human nature died on the cross in the same way as Mary is called the Theotokos?
Also, don't you think that it would be more accurate to say that the Christian understanding of death is something more like "entering into Eternity" than "ceasing to exist?"
This may be why Lewis had Aslan say, "He has died. Most people have, you know. Even I have. There are very few who haven't."

The reason I got that question is that I always remind myself "anything that can truly be said about Christ's Divine nature can also truly be said about His human nature." Can't recall who said it, but it's a bit of a cheat code that lets me fake my way through a lot of Christological questions.
