Jesus taught in metaphores, right?

[Sethomas]

The Catholic stance: Both the Old and the New Testament are considered works of man in regards to history and general perceptions made within them. They are, however, infallible in regards to theological teachings stemming from them. For example, Adam and Eve most probably didn't exist, but nevertheless their story represents the teaching that humanity is intrinsically flawed from the time of its creation. Noah probably didn't really build an ark, but the story shows that God loves and gives special treatment to those who respect him.

In the New Testament, it's unlikely that Judas both hung himself and spontaneously fell upon rocks that disemboweled him. Unless the rope broke, or something.
