My own plea to return to a discussion of medieval religion was prompted by this remark in one of the messages: "Because the Church needs to be seen as perfect, it simply cannot admit ANY wrongdoing of its saints. That is one reason why it has little credibility in the rest of the world." I have no problem with a discussion of John Chrysostom on the Jew nor even reflections on their relationship to 20th century infelicities.
