I'm in the process of getting my marriage validated and going through some paperwork. I have discovered that I made my First Holy Communion on May 18, 1969, which happened to be Pope John Paul II's birthday. Kind of cool!
"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
