In this episode we deal with greed, lust, violence and gore - you guessed it we are talking about religion! In telling the tale of the land of Evariste Galois it is imperative that some understanding of how Christianity got its start in the world of the pagan Gauls.  Even more importantly, at least as far as this podcast is concerned, is how much the Christian religion of the early Gallic people influenced the life and times of our tasty little Frenchman. Thanks. as always, for listening!
