medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Well, what a cute website. Kind of a sophmoric rant, which I don't take much more seriously than a Catholic Traditionalist or Evangelical Fundamentalist
website. Lots of pre-concieved notions and bias. So much for the "scientific method."
Still, some interesting things to look in to, if I can find something more clearly scholarly.
Thanks for the info!
