Papal Bull

[andygates]

So the Pope is visiting to remind British lawmakers that the Equality Bill is scary, in that it may remove the Church's ability to discriminate against people.

What's wrong with that picture?  *facepalm*

As far as I know most, if not all, of the "rule" come from Leviticus.

There is quite a thriving industry in DaVinci-Code-esque novels and conspiracy texts on Christian sects who did not accept the Levites as religious authorities.

I think there is even a theory that Leviticus was added in to texts much later by the priestly class as an attempt to control the populace.

What is interesting is that the Council of Nicea kept it in the authorised line-up but did not mandate observance of all of it.
