Religious Sceptics

Gorse Fox has just found a "Did you know" in Wikipedia

The Canon Episcopi, which was inserted into canon law by Burchard of Worms in the 11th century, demanded that Roman Catholics be skeptical about witchcraft

Now several things are noticable here:

• Scepticism was demanded - like politics today!
  (Is politics the new witchcraft?)
• Fancy being called Burchard of Worms - like being known as Gorse Fox of Nematode

GF also notices that

Burchard died in 1025, leaving to his sister a hair shirt.

Sis, You have been warned!
