Gerald Peterson wrote: The text I am using this term (Franzoi) cites what I presume is historical study by Boswell (1980) that homosexuality was tolerated or ignored by the early Christian church until the middle ages?  Are there other historical accounts supporting this supposed tolerance? Boswell was (d. 1994) a well-known medieval historian. My understanding, however, is that Medieval historians are far from agreed that Boswell's interpretation of the facts is correct. Best (as always) to read the book (books, in this case), and then the reviews. You can get _Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality_ (1981) and _Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe_ (1993?) on sale at amazon.com. Regards, -- Christopher D.
