So, just revisiting the "ERO CRAS" article (below), I got to thinking, "What if the code was supposed to be read as it is sung instead of working backward?" Donning my Tom Hanks Mini-mullet and doing some DaVinci coding, the words appear "SARCO RE". Since I have a seminary education from the 90's, I know no Latin or Greek (but have learned gathering hymns in Hawaiian and Vietnamese!) so with that unknowledge at hand, the mystic term appears "FLESH AGAIN" by using bad Greek scholarship.

| SARCO RE, SUCKAS!!! |
Which, if we believe Christ is coming again, presumably in the flesh, then that works out.
 |
| CARNIVAL! It's not racist if it's in South America. |
Also, since the Christmastide ends with the celebration of CARNIVAL ("farewell to the flesh" in loosely based Latin that I did not study) then it works there too.
But wouldn't it be cool if it also meant this?

| ZOMBIE SANTA! SARCO RE! BRAINZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! |
(Probably none of this page would be here had seminaries listened to canon 249.)
