medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

The change on war goes along with a larger issue of the role of clergy,
direct or indirect, in the shedding of blood.  Sally Scully wrote a
dissertation on this topic in the 1970's, but it did not become a
book.  Also related is the issue of the Just War, on which see Fred
Russell's book with that same title.
