After all, anything other than missionary for the purpose of conception was punishable by eternal damnation
I bet that this has never once in history been successfully enforced. The Catholic church might have said it, but it doesn’t mean that even most people followed it.
Our conception of the European Medieval period is distorted because the Church and the aristocracy were the people who kept the most written records, but there were many people, especially peasants, erased from history because they were pretty irreverent about the Church.
i’m fairly convinced that if you were teleported to a random farming community anywhere and anywhen on earth, they’d be concerned but default to housing you for like a week at least and by the time you establish basic communication your fate will be consigned to storytelling until the day you die.
Because life back then was fucking boring as shit and any modern person could probably make the best storytellers of the day suicidal by ineptly explaining the plot of the first movie that comes to mind.
Sing some Queen or whatever and the village will go
