quote:While Clement of Alexandria may have been against the baths that doesn?t mean the bishops were universally against them. Again according to Kundert, ?A sense of ambivalence concerning the Roman baths seems to best sum up the attitude of Church leadership after the time of the Bible writers. Little appears to have been written on the subject, and the opinions expressed in what was written varied widely. Little evidence exists that would indicate either substantial support or substantial condemnation of public bathing during the first several centuries of the Church's existence.? He goes on to write, ?There was never anything like a universal ban leveled against public bathing by the Church.?
Actually the Catholic bishops almost universally condemned the baths.
quote:Uugru,
Dont get your panties in a bunch over this because it does not condemn mixed nudity, just that of the public baths.
quote:John Kundert is indeed a Christian and is the editor of the Fig Leaf Forum.
John Kundert--is he a Christian--must be equating the use of baths as nudism.
