medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Boureau is certainly not utterly Catholic. What's the rest of the context for the outlandish claim in the Montreal Gazette? Who wrote the piece? What's his or her particular location on the religious or ideological spectrum?

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
