You know... I learned something today.

"Some of the sins denounced by Dante and the Middle Ages will strike modern readers qas scarcely sinful. Usury, for instance, makes no sense as a sin in a country full of mortgages, car loans, and credit cards. To the medieval church, however, it was the highly unnatural act of making inert matter (gold or silver) breed. Loaning money was acceptable, unless your charged interest. Since Jews did not consider usury a sin, this provided many job openings for Jews -- and much hatred and resentment."

HA! Go fig. So THAT's where the Jews started to make all that money!
