Yesterday, Pope Benedict declared St. Hildegard of Bingen to be a Doctor of the Church. This week I will feature her music and art.
This is a exploration of Hildegard's work by Anonymous 4.
"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
