      So if their big metric is # of centuries "under the influence of the church," are they arguing for a stronger influence of the early church on kinship? And are they claiming that kinship was the Church's primary sexual concern (rather, than, sodomy/adultery/remarriage)? 9/13

      And the citations are wildly terrible. You're going to claim that kinship changes caused sweeping changes in medieval society and then cite JARED DIAMOND and FRANCIS FUKUYAMA?? 10/13pic.twitter.com/fBSEDjplCx

      You're going to claim that kinship ties are the most important structuring institutions in society and then point to Levi-Strauss? 11/13pic.twitter.com/QUk996IkOr

      There's remarkably little citation of medieval scholarship and what is cited is piecemeal. I have no criticism of individual works cited, which are often very good, but they don't add up to a complete picture of medieval attitudes towards sexuality or kinship across Europe. 12/13pic.twitter.com/0SmpY9uXow

      As @ISASaxonists and @prof_gabriele have said recently in relation to other "studies" like this, these data studies are built on wildly ahistorical assumptions. This claim that the Church "built the West" rests on a racist foundation. 13/13 https://twitter.com/Lollardfish/status/1197704778505166851 …

      Well ya girl is on a train, so I have *time* today. My overarching criticism of this is that they are falling prey to the protestant societal trap that sees the Church as a monolithic institution able to control the huge numbers of people from varying societies in Europe.

      The idea that the Church had the ability to actual exercise any form of coercive control over anyone before the 12th century is laughable, and even then it was u likely it would bother with anyone from anything but the most royal and nobel families.

      Do you *really* think that they were bothering to control what families in, say, Iceland? The alpine regions of Austria? Fucking Cumbria? Or that they had the means to do so?

      It also ignores the fact that there was significant pushback against these laws. In Sweden in particular, for example, consanguinity rules were considered ridiculous and a major over reach by the Church. They were actively fought at a royal level.
