bullshit?

mariage with 12-14 years (and consummation) was pretty much standard for centuries throughout europe even with christianity in place - from our point of view that is pedophilia

Yeah that's because life expectancy was a lot lower than what it is Today. 


If I'm not mistaken you are both wrong. Nutrition back in the middle ages was far from satisfactory and most people did not had puberty until way later their teen years; the child marriages are more or less a false middle-ages cliché. Things only started to change after the renaissance.
