It has always been like this

June 1425
Franciscan friar Bernardino da Siena preaches a of cycle of sermons
"Therefore, Christ Jesus says, come to me you who want this merchandise since there is no other person who sells it in this shop....And because you are familiar with the shop of this merchant, you know that it has five tall windows and that they spew forth the fire of love. What is this shop? it is a gracious body of Christ on the cross which has five Windows which are the wounds of his hands, feet, and breast, from which, out of love for you, blood pours forth in order to wash away your sins. The sign of the shop is the cross....... at the cross love is for sale!"

1304 Dominican friar Giordano da Pisa gives a sermon
"Mary gave up earthly delights in order to have enternal ones and profited from everything....She profited from everything and extracted benefit just like a wise merchant"
