That's not what your [3] says.
>Nevertheless, Historian John Boswell argued that Adelphopoiesis, or brother-making, represented an early form of religious same-sex marriage in the Orthodox church.
>Alan Bray saw the rite of Ordo ad fratres faciendum ("Order for the making of brothers") as serving the same purpose in the medieval Roman Catholic Church.
John Boswell died of AIDS. No mention of how Alan Bray died, but he was also homosexual. Hardly impartial sources.
- dan-robertson 7y agoI don’t particularly see how how this person died has a bearing on what he said.
- foldr 7y agoHeterosexuals also have relevant biases. And your statement regarding John Boswell's death is crass and offensive.
