“Quite removed” in terms of time.
It means that the church failed to destroy records about how the stuff they peddle wasn’t written anywhere near the events they supposedly describe. You’re supposed to spend years studying the book upon threat of physical violence or death until you reach a point where you’re too invested in the mythos to bother questioning it. You’re supposed to NOT study all the figures that we have written records of that predate the jesus myth:
Most of the relationships she spent years forming — as a mom, community member, and university employee — have now dissolved. No one called her on her birthday last month, she said, through glassy eyes filled to the brim with tears once again. Attempts to connect with these former friends — by sending them controversial columns about gender identity, for example — are not received kindly. “We don’t want to hear from you,” Beth said a friend recently told her. “Don’t send us anything anymore,” said another.
she seems closer to the verge of emotional breakdown than she is to the verge of an insult.
The mom needs some impartial advice as to why everyone in her life cut ties with her, and why her eldest child being happy is driving her to the point of a mental breakdown.
Just another opportunity to post about the missing missing reasons.

A MITM doesn’t require decrypting. It just requires telling a convincing enough lie to each side of a conversation that they think they’re talking to the other party. Then you end up encrypting to their key which they can just read. That’s different from breaking the encryption.
No, and none of the state actors who do that kind of stuff will ever tell you. Watch The Imitation Game for a good/bad time and some context.
If you had a break for the modern crypto schemes and published it right now you would shut down all digital commerce, a lot of the spy traffic if not most of it1, and nothing could be started back up again until everything was redone from scratch. Best hope would be that the post quantum algorithms2 the cryptographers have aren’t succeptible to whatever you did to break the existing algorithms. It’d take a bit to get the software implementations and keys in place, etc. The hardware stuff would take longer.
