And it's easy now to go, oh, Catholics and Protestants, they're basically all Christian.

I mean, it's still... Parts of Ireland and parts of Scotland are still riven by the sectarian issue.

This is 500 years ago, and this would have been the single biggest divide of the time.

You're French, you're a teenager, you're a woman, and you're now in the wrong religion.
