I just learned something interesting in my Economic History course the
other day, but did any of you know that during the Black Death, so many
people died that the Catholic Church allowed women to accept confessions?
Granted there were people dying left and right (including the ordained
ministers) so the Church had no other choice than to grant that
priviledge to women at the time.  But I thought you all might be
interested in hearing this little in consequential thought.

Ps. I decided to stay onto Christia eventhough I really should be working
on my paper---I have disciplined myself not to read anymore than 2 screens
of any message (I'll read those messages after my paper is finished!)
About my paper---God give me strenght!!! I JUST now finished the
introduction!!! I should be able to crank on it now, but I need to get
cranking soon....
