In 2009, while posting in a spiritual forum, I managed to upset some people with what I channelled about the topic at hand. As a result, the forum owner suggested I start my own thread and let people ask me spiritual questions to which I could channel answers.

The thread lasted for 4 years, was over 200 pages long, with over 1000 posts, before I closed it. It no longer exists in any readable form and I ...

Many Christians today tend to view the story of medieval faith as a cautionary tale. Too often, they dismiss the Middle Ages as a period of corruption and decay in the church. They seem to assume that the church apostatized from true Christianity after it gained cultural influence in the time of Constantine, and that the faith was only later recovered by the 16th-century Reformers or even the 18th-century revivalists. As a result, the riches and wisdom of the medieval period have remained largely inaccessible to modern Protestants.
