Ep 215 - Medieval Beauty Standards
🕑 Added 2025-04-16 12:00:15 +0000 UTCpatrons, here's your ad free regular episode of the week, we answered questions from Gafsey and Colin Keese. next bonus will be out on Friday.
folks, we have once again stumbled upon some hilariously-insane social media posts and have decided to relate them back to the Middle Ages. the main gist is this: a twitter user posted about how the Catholic Virgin Mary was an unaging smokeshow and objectively the most beautiful woman to ever live as compared to that ugly hag Protestant Virgin Mary, who is apparently a totally separate individual. She then decided to do some clarifications and here we are. since this view is quite similar to that of typical European Medieval beauty standards, we decided to make fun of these posts and then talk about why Medieval people were so weird and contradictory like this.

Chris Rock in _Dogma_ had it right > The nature of God and the Virgin birth, those are leaps of faith. But to believe a married couple never got down? Well, that's just plain gullibility.

Hay guys maybe Atlas Shrugged was questionable but the Foutain Head was solid
