medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I am sorry you are off the list for awhile. I respectfully offer this
suggestion. Perhaps you will see this when you return. But no matter how you
cut it, whether it is Eastern Christians insisting that there can be a first
among equals or a Roman Catholics insisting that there is no such thing, it is
pedantic scholasticism and does not generally endear non-Christians to
Christianty.
