Possibly this delay in the general adoption Of
the fork for table use was due to the opposition
manifested thereto Icy the Roman Catholic
Church. From the twelfth until the sixteenth
century The Papaoy frowned upon the fork. and
strictly forbade its use by the clergy and in all
ecclesiastical establishments such as monas-
teries, converts and seminaries. II is difficult
