Everything About the Dark Ages

What was Heresy during the Inquisiton and Medieval Ages?

 

Dark Ages



Heresy is defined as "disagreeing with the church in any way - including disbelief in the same."

Heresy led to thousands of deaths because the church neglected any tolerance against people with different beliefs. This of course led to many innocent tortured victims and mainly; to the Crusades in which the main purpose was to evangelize foreign people and punish them if they denied.

To be accused of heresy, it was enough for an enemy or competitor to simply point someone out to the church. The church would then act accordingly and set a secret trial which almost invariantly accused as guilty the victim.
