209/365 Medieval Roots of Modern Catholicism

A brief introduction, it read on the screen in the basement of the history museum. I was there with Marla and her son to listen to a professor talk about some of the roots that we don't see--deep underground and our sense of history is fleeting. Why are priests celibate? Why is the pope the center of Catholic power? Those were the two main questions he answered, and answered well. It was an enjoyable talk and I left knowing more than when I walked in. I like those times.
