  • unfortunately this is not entirely correct, Church doctrine never declared being able to purchase salvation in any financial or artistic way. In fact, even when corruption was rampant it condemned it as simony was condemned. Nevertheless, at times, the behavior of certain church members (both laymen and clergymen) made it appear as such.

  • Wow, this looks amazing! Can't wait to see the whole programme!

    I hope all bankers rot in hell - the medieval scholars had a point! lol!
