I think you'd have to credit Protestants with abolition movements, rather than Catholics in the main would you not?

"modern" abolition movements, yeah. but the r.c. church really did work to shut down slavery in many places in europe during the middle ages. wasn't a consistent effort, but it was there. slaves in w england were freed on account of the church's efforts in (iirc) the 900s.

We need to get a computer nerd to scan chick's writing & tweets & build a chick-bot that spreads knowledge about Medieval Europe on twitter in case chick is ever banned or hit by a bus.

No, not a bus (suited for carrying a full extended family) - a station wagon or minivan (suited for carrying a nuclear family) Better?
