When coffee arrived in 16th-century Europe, Catholic clergymen were horrified, calling it "The Bitter Invention of Satan" because it was popular in the Muslim world. They begged Pope Clement VIII to ban the "infidel brew." But before ruling, the Pope insisted on trying it. He loved it so much he declared: "This devil's drink is so delicious... we should cheat the Devil by baptizing it!" His papal blessing made coffee acceptable, paving the way for Europe's coffeehouse culture. Get your coffee at www.BuyCoffeeDelivered.com.
