medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Well, it's definitely achieved urban-legend status, whether you think
these analyses are conclusive or not. I'd point out, though, that
they are based on a good deal more than the simple "lack of evidence"
that the Christian Resource Institute implies in quoting the Snopes
site. In fact, the paragraph they quote is the introduction to a list
of other arguments, not a conclusion.
