For today's music monday, we continue with Vivaldi's Gloria. Today we hear Qui Tollis Peccata Mundi. Short and sweet, we are back with the whole choir.
Qui tollis peccata mundi means, who takes away the sins of the world.
"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
