FD is right, this was probably the worst example you could have used. Can we have the story around Chrsitian gay marriages that susposedly once existed?

Irish English is definitely different but when i see statement like "Contrary to myth" i got to wonder if we are reading advocacy journalism?

But to echo FD this is from 1998 and is from what appears to be Ireland's most socially liberal newspaper. It also requires a subscription to read and the part you posted isn’t even viewable and is perhaps without proper context.

And in addition of being without supporting documents or specific example(s) we don’t even know who the author is! Plus John Boswell had been dead for 4 or 5 years prior to this being written. So this wasnt some ground breaking news or discovery of his work, but rather an editorial trying to push a point.

Come on man. Its great to share narrative by others that offer interesting perspective that most of us probably woldnt otherwise hear, but don’t pass it off like its factual news you found that’s supporting your argument.
