    They did heavily in lots of countries including mine. For decades and decades and decades. It was framed in two ways. You could go to hell if you didn’t or you could get really sick and it could fall off. Wonderful direction from the church. In my specific case Catholic Church.

      That’s wild, I didn’t expect that even the catholic church gets in on this. Where I live, this would sound completely absurd to most christians.
