The Law and Practice of the Church of Rome in Cases of Heresy: A Summary of the Treatise on Heresy (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore how church law shaped the fate of those labeled heretics, with a stark look at punishment, power, and procedure.
This critical study surveys the medieval and early modern practices of the Church of Rome in cases of heresy. It traces how accusations moved through a process that often left little room for defence, and it examines the stark penalties that followed condemnation, including civil punishment, confiscation, and social ostracism. While focused on historical text and legal theory, the work also reflects on the moral questions raised by these actions.
- How citation, defence, and sentencing were structured in inquisitorial proceedings.
- The scope and use of punishments, from confiscation to death.
- How property, family rights, and civil status were affected by a verdict of heresy.
- Historical context and the lasting impact of ecclesiastical law on society.
