muawiyah says:

Supposedly the Catholic church authorized polygamy as part of the solution to the social welfare disaster and you could have up to 15 wives if you could pay for them.

OK, I thought I had seen every major calumny possible against the Church. Again, I was wrong.

Hey muawiyah - any chance you have ANY serious research to back up your claim?

[muawiyah]

Yeah, I'll dig it up for you. Probably all Lutheran propaganda ya' know.

They'd do that Fur Shur.

However, a real quick reference at http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/the-big-question-whats-the-history-of-polygamy-and-how-serious-a-problem-is-it-in-africa-1858858.html refers us to the Parliament at Nurmburg that allowed 10 women per man.

What you will want to look for is “PLURAL MARRIAGE” which seems to be the Politically Correct term for the more modern references.

[muawiyah]

Speaking of calumny, arguing from the present that your ancestors weren't desperate people puts a lie to their very existence.

Be thankful they did what they did else you'd not be here.

Hmm. “Supposedly”. My personal favorite among the weasel words.
