re: #68 Nyet

I suppose something like “everything going acc. to God’s plan” and stuff like that.

I think Rod was enthused on the slow pace and the chance to contemplate your place with God in some sort of daily communion without distraction.. except for the diseases, poor nutrition, lack of any education whatsoever, losing half your kids before they become adults, the local noble claiming your grain and fruit as well as the only cow you had, not to mention random rape, terror and whatnot as the Reformation got into high gear and Catholic or Orthodox heretics (like Rod!) kept ending up burning at the stake for public amusement.

Sacramental time is obviously awesome.
