The background to this tweet concerns ongoing arguments in the Roman Catholic church about Pope Francis seeming to allow remarried Catholics to receive holy communion (which is contrary to traditional church teaching). Why not polygamists? These marriages were acceptable in the Bible and never condemned by God. Xander Lucie-Smith is a Catholic priest and editor of the Catholic Herald.

Not in times of peace, when men often lived longer than women, who risked their lives whenever being pregnant up until the eighteen hundreds.

In today’s China, there are 120 men for every 100 women. Polyandrous polygamy anyone?
