"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

Thank you for Fred Astaire Fridays. It always puts a smile on my face. I'm more of a Gene Kelly type of gal, but I still love Astaire. :D
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoy them.
