In Conversation | Mediaeval sex and bishop brothels - with Diarmaid MacCulloch
This is History: A Dynasty to Die For
This episode contains frequent references to sex.
Dan Jones is joined by Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch, author of Lower than the Angels, for a look at the long and complicated relationship between the Church and our love lives. Who was Pope Gregory VII and why did he want to stop clergy from having sex? How have views on same-sex love changed over time? And why were bishops in charge of London’s first brothels?
