History Main / WordOfSaintPaul

** While we are on Christianity, there are also St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine, who codified many of the basic tenets such as the trinity, a concept that is not found in the Bible itself.

** Which has been [[BrokenBase hotly contested]] as Derleth split the mythos between what was basically good or bad (Outer Gods vs. The Great Old Ones) with the Outer Gods having been added after Lovecraft died. The main conflict is that the Outer Gods tend be fairly benign, while The Great Old Ones try to destroy humanity, often going away from the BlueOrangeMorality that makes up the mythos. In recent times, Derleth's concept of good and evil is becoming less common, with the CallOfCthulhu tabletop game removing it from the 6th edition.

* Haruo Nakajim, the original actor who played {{Godzilla}}, believes that the Showa (1955-1975) incarnation of Godzilla is female. However, according to [[WordOfGod Toho Studios]], all incarnations of Godzilla to date have been male (yes, even the [[MisterSeahorse remake version]]).

* August Derleth shaped much of the popular understanding of the LovecraftMythos, and codified a lot of it.

* St. Paul is the TropeNamer, and there's a lot of debate about whether his opinions, particularly those about women, reflect those of Jesus, considering that St. Paul never met Jesus (aside from a vision) and did not meet any of the original apostles until quite far into his career, and in fact started his career as a persecutor of Christians.

* At the end of ''Film/DinnerForOne'' the two characters [[spoiler:go upstairs and, it's implied, have sex]] and the actors said it was entirely innocent.

** And the he (Sparrow, not Depp) is bisexual.

* TimCurry has stated that [[TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Dr. Frank N. Furter]] is [[AnythingThatMoves Pansexual]].

* SamuelLJackson has stated that he, as Mace Windu, beat Palpatine. The novel implies that Sidious let himself lose, and the film leaves it ambiguous.

* JohnnyDepp has said that JackSparrow has syphilis.

* The last ''HarryPotter'' film suggests a romance (or at least a one-sided crush by Neville) between Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood, which is a widely fanon supported couple, but not one that happens in canon. Mathew Lewis, who plays Neville, asserted the two had a brief fling, but ended up marrying their canonical partners.

* A developer for Infinity Ward has stated that Captain Price from ModernWarfare is the grandson of the original Captain Price, and Price's voice actor stated that Price was actually [[Spoiler: in the gulag for two years after the end of CallofDuty 4: ModernWarfare, rather than five as often thought.]]

Do note that WordOfSaintPaul might contain mistakes or misunderstandings of the original creator. Thus, they can easily carry the germ for future debates.

The dividing lines between WordOfGod, WordOfSaintPaul, and WordOfDante are somewhat fluid, but if it can be reasonably supposed that someone has had a role in creating the work, or a close personal relation to the primary creator, then it is probably WordOfSaintPaul instead of WordOfDante.

In a film or TV series, typical sources of WordOfSaintPaul are the primary actors, the cameraman, or the score writer. In literature, it can be the author's spouse, the editor, or the publisher.

[[TropeNamer Named]] for Saint Paul the Apostle, who through diligent missionary and organisation work very much changed Christianity from a minor Jewish sect into a budding world religion, while at the same time changing and adding lots of things to [[WordOfGod what Jesus said]].

* When interviewed about his role in ''{{Inception}}'', MichaelCaine asserted that any scene he was in was one guaranteed to be in the real world. This either explains the film or makes the MindScrew even more confusing.

* Haruo Nakajima (The original actor who played {{Godzilla}}) believes that the Showa (1955-1975) incarnation of Godzilla is female. However, according to [[WordOfGod Toho Studios]], all incarnations of Godzilla to date have been male (Yes, even the [[MisterSeahorse remake version]]).

* In HeirsOfAlexandria, Christianity gained another early high-powered missionary and organiser in Hypatia, and thus split into two groups, based on different WordOfSaintPaul's: the Pauline branch and the Petrine branch.

* According to JimParsons of BigBangTheory, his character [[HollywoodNerd Sheldon]] has AspergerSyndrome.

* SaintPaul is the trope namer, and there's a lot of debate about whether his opinions, particular those about women, reflect those of Jesus.
* The most famous real-world example (apart from S:t Paul) is probably Friedrich Engels. He worked closely with Marx, and did a lot to popularise and explain Marx's theories. However, he didn't have Marx's philosophical schooling, and thus misunderstood several elements, and made those misunderstandings stick around. To his credit, there was probably noone else around who could do even remotely as good a job.

Once a work has been published to general acclaim, speculation runs rampant. What did X really mean? How could Y do that? How are we supposed to interpret Z? For some reason or another, the [[WordOfGod primary creator]] keeps quiet, so when someone else with at least some authorative status to the work says something, it can be easily accepted and incorporated into the common view.
