Line 20:
** In Canto IV of Paradisio, Dante asks Beatrice why the nuns who have been raped (in both the old school meaning as well as [very likely] the contemporary meaning) are placed in the sphere furthest from God's love, to which Beatrice replies that people are complicit in the violence acted upon them.
** The part of ''Inferno'' where Dante meets [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Christian_views_on_Muhammad a certain religious figure] suffering in the Eighth Layer for being a "schismatic" is omitted from modern adaptations and analysis, for obvious reasons.
** While Dante does feel sorry for what happened to his mentor, homosexuality is still considered in this work an act of treason against God. To put this in perspective, [[But You Screw One Goat|those who have committed bestiality]] are on the same layer, and the layer itself is lower than the ones for murderers. And not to beat a dead horse, it still must be said, this is Dante's opinion, ''not'' that of the modern church (or even the church at the time, actually, although they did frown upon it) as a whole.
* [[Values Dissonance]]: A'plenty. Remember, this ''is'' medieval Christianity.
