Actually Vikings is in the early to middle of the 9th century. But you’re absolutely right! Thank you for sharing your ideas and knowledge.

Ragnar (the MC) is said to have been born between 740-780, the show puts him at 764. One of the antagonists, King Eckbert of Wessex, England reigned from 802-839. Ragnar was executed by King Ælla sometime around 845. So short answer, yeah pretty much.

yes, such as working on the Sabbath. why didn’t Jesus stone Himself for healing the sick on Saturday?

the necessity of capital punishment is not dogma nor was it an absolute underlying truth of the faith before V2, to my knowledge. i could see if it was changing spiritual tradition but the Church’s political endorsements have always been somewhat fluid.

you believe there’s something wrong with taking an anti-capital punishment stance, or you just don’t like that the Church has admitted some of its polices were becoming outdated?

should we still refuse burial rites for suicides too?
