It’s very interesting to know, but I’m glad I didn’t read about this historic fact yesterday.

We were taking at work yesterday about Valentine’s day and it popped into my head I didn’t know anything about St. Valentine. Thanks for the info.

Early Catholicism motto seems to be “If you can’t join them, beat them”. I really like that and it seemed to work well.
