* [[Unfortunate Implications]]:* 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|so is bestiality]]. And not to beat a dead horse, it still must be said, this is Dante's opinion, ''not'' that of the modern church as a whole.
* [[Values Dissonance]]: A'plenty. Remember, this ''is'' medieval Christianity.
** Heresy.
