And the priest probably got used to people getting sick and even dying during the mass, considering that the median age of a churchgoer is like 72. So if he stopped mass every time someone died, let alone hit their head on the floor while fainting, the masses would go on for hours every day.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
