trivia question...

Does anyone know if Dante Alighieri believed in the flat Church pardon for all atrocities committed in crusade/"retaking" the holy land? I don't recall any mention of the matter in the Inferno, but I haven't read the other two parts, or much in the way of scholarship about it...

No problem! I'm going to have to sit down and do some real digging. I'm actually curious now, and it has been 2 years or so since I last read the Divine Comedy....
