Sometimes you just have to stand in awe at what language models can come up with. Amazing invention.

Playing with mythology is a lot more fun (for some people) than just following it.

These are all familiar tropes and inversions, which are part of the authorial game.

I guess that reality may be much more mundane. Historical Jesus did not exist. Paul's letters preceded the Gospels. Jesus is cosmic god-figure who manifested to Paul by revelation only - that's why he never writes about Jesus' life. If Vatican is keeping any secrets, they must be a series of ancient texts and non-canonical gospels that talk about Jesus who never walked the Earth.
