Note 673 — Chapter XV · THE MORAL LIFE OF EUROPE DURING THE AGE OF CHIVALRY
Reading edition
“Christian mores in the Western Empire were formed by syncretism of Jewish and pagan mores. Christian mores therefore contain war, slavery, concubinage, demonism, and base amusements, together with some abstract ascetic doctrines with which these things are inconsistent.”—Sumner, Folkways (1907), p. 116.
