Lacan Hangs Up on Saint Paul (LHUPOST) part 1

Wait a second I was just going on about a different video that had another quotI'll post an answer

Part III -... the Father idea (whatever it is who has taken from us the phallus) gives rise to the Christ idea (as sort of an objet petit a wherewith we hope to get back the phallus. So Lacan inverts Pauline philosophy. I am reading this correctly? Thanks!

The introduction made by the professor seemed oddly seductive. The fact that he starts out with this story about an altercation between Paul Ricœur and Lacan while at the same time steering the whole thing into some religious discussion Is the beginning and the end of the whole thing. But like Paul was always reaching out to spread a message(I assume) even if it meant getting over these pointless jewish riitual questions. Lacan (His enormous head with a gigantic cigar in it and

an anarchy symbol painted in the backround) just hangs up and terminates the connection.

Part II of my post: are you saying, in other words, that the Symbolic Father (which has gotten his way into philosophy as capital B Being or God) gives us signifiers like the Christ? (Which I suppose would be our subconscious way of trying to get back the Phallus - myths like the Pauline Christ is supposed to grab the phallus back from the Father.) So "Lacan hangs up on St. Paul" means the Pauling Christ-as-signifier-for-the-Fa­ther is mistaken, rather, the Father idea...

Dude, great video. I am sooo curious as to how the title relates! The only thing I can think of, from the top of my head - for Lacan the signifier creates the signified, not vice-versa. In St. Paul, the Christ is a "signifier" for God or The Father ("le nom de Pere" or big B Being). Perhaps "Lacan hangs up on St. Paul" indicates that the Pauline concept is wrong, that is, the Christ (signifier) does not create the Father (signified) but rather, the Father (le nom de Pere) creates the Christ?
