medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear Timothy Ladd: The discussion of "cognitive dissonance" is first rate, but I'd like to question one observation that was designed to separate medievals from today's humanity. You remark that " [medieval] repression was even dealt with communally." I study the repression of Catharism and a bit of Waldensianism, and, although there is clear evidence of some community participation, the specific initiative came from outside the communities affected. Yours, John Mundy ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
