The Vatican adopts Codex Iuris Canonici May 27, 1917
For the first time ever, a legal code of all Canon Law.
This never became well known because
a) It was written in Latin
b) Translation into other languages was forbidden
and c) for the first time ever, it LEGALIZED CHARGING INTEREST.
In other words, before 1917 it was a sin for Christians to charge interest.
After 1917 it was OK.
