And when's the last time a christer church showed a female pew warmer on the rag the door ??
LOL, I'd love to know how they would check that. Like...is there just one designated, unlucky choir boy with a red pointer finger standing at the entrance?
Pretty clear this was taken seriously at the time. Someone would have had a look see. I'm thinking the head priest (equivalent). I'd suppose at some point women with their menstrual rags in place would quit trying to attend at those times, unless they needed to demonstrate a valid reason for not attending. Best not to PO the twits running their local franchise, the implied threat of a stoning, disembowelment, garroting, etc. would be evident.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
