"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. "—

Happy Birthday to Dymphna's DH. I love the smiley jumping on the couch with dust in the air. Cracks me up!
happy birthday to DH!!
I picked the jumping on the couch one because when we were kids we used to jump on the couch when my dad would play the 1812 overture on the turntable. DH just loves that image of me jumping on the couch.
