"It's not so long ago that men of your ilk believed in witches and superstition," I pointed out. I was emphasizing how past beliefs in things like witches were once widely accepted but are now considered superstitions. The speaker highlights the progress humanity has made in shedding such erroneous beliefs over time.

The other person dismisses this, claiming, "Medieval times," and waves off the idea, asserting that it's now 1867 and that the Church has advanced significantly since then. This exchange reflects the ongoing debate about whether society has truly moved beyond superstitions or if some outdated beliefs still persist in modern times.
