I LOVE this. It's a very informative read from a Protestant author who studied church history and blends the Catholic, Orthodoxy, and Protestants together (the early church historical roots, and to not hold much prejudice from one denomination to the other). It sucks to read the bad parts, but then the good during the evil times was inspiring.

"Fiscal conservatives today who see such taxes as 'theft' have the church to blame. Medieval bishops and church lawyers, of course, would have replied that the true thief is any wealthy person who does not give some of their surplus to the poor."
