Christianity Quote by Steve Prentice
““Coffee was referred to by some Christians as “the devil’s drink.” In Rome, a sample of coffee was presented to Pope Vincent III, who had decided to taste it before banishing it. However, as the story goes, upon taking his first sip, he was won over, and he actually baptized it instead.””
