Heresy

catholic belief. Athanasius is one of the most interesting saints, having conflicting with Arius’s view, and being exiled for a large portion of his life. St. Athanasius is best remembered for his contributions to christianity, and refusal of the arian heresy. St. Athanasius was born around 297 AD in Alexandria, Egypt. When Athanasius was young, he caught the attention of Patriarch Alexander, a Christian saint. Athanasius and some other children were playing baptism on the beach, and…

down heresy. Just like how the Patriot Act only happen during an extreme event like 9/11, the Inquisition was formed because of the growing numbers of unregulated heretics in Languedoc. The creation of the Inquisition in 1231 by Pope Gregory IX, made them efficiently able to track and persecute heretics and would-be heretics. They no longer needed a formal accusation to arrest suspects, just like the Patriot Act and its…

power and the crown. People sometimes refer to his use of power over European monarchs like a chess game in that the European monarchs are pawns in that they were considered worthless, except when they were giving the Pope gifts. By first taking down heresy and corruption in the Church, he was able to deprive Roan clerics of their property if they did not amend any heretical opinions they…

The Inquisitor uses many rhetorical strategies to establish his argument against Joan. He uses elements of ethos, builds a powerful tone, and includes biblical allegories throughout his speech. Characterization is an essential piece of the puzzle that will play an important role in his speech. Finally, the inquisitor demonstrates a sophisticated example of a “slippery slope” to expand his analysis of Joan’s position. Ethos is commonly seen throughout the passage, due to the essential need of…

characters seem different, however, they are more similar than they seem. While they have different fates and alliances, they are similar in their strengths, motivation, goals, weaknesses, and struggles. Joan of Arc's fate was to be burned at the stake for heresy, and later to be martyred when her charges we debunked years later. Annabeth is only seventeen when the book series does not mention her fate, though it does hint about her future. In this way, the characters differ because Joan of Arc…

“‘Either you are a right good woman or else a right wicked woman’” (Kempe 83). Determining the exact label for Margery Kempe is debatable amongst scholars, as it was amongst her peers. While Kempe does exhibit convictions that can be found in “The Thirty-Seven Conclusions of the Lollards,” many scholars argue that Kempe’s beliefs were entirely orthodox. However, it is possible that Kempe was influenced by the radical preaching’s of the Lollards, and chose specific tenets in which to believe –…

Since the artwork was done seven hundred of years ago, does did Dante accurately organize the circles? In other words, are the sins really worse as he heads to the center of Hell? Is greed really worse than glutton or lust? Is fraud really worse than heresy? Combining personal feelings from Dante himself and Christian Bible, Dante did organize an accurate hell even though the work was done seven hundred years ago. Dante’s writing is heavily relied on the Christian Bible. Many sins are not…

Baphomet and The Templar Baphomet, a notorious goat devil, whose name occurs from ancient times until today, existed as an enigmatic figure; distinctively, referenced at the trials of the Templar, a medieval order of crusader monks accused of heresy, witchcraft, and other crimes. The Order developed in A.D. 1118 by a nobleman named Hughes de Payens that became the first of a number of ‘Military Orders.’ Indeed, the Templar’s endurance became intimately tied to the crusades during the time the…

Joan of Arc, otherwise known as the Maid Of Lorraine, helped end the Hundred Years war. She accomplished this by inspiring and uniting the French army. Her life began when she was born into the village of Domremy. When Joan was just around the age of ten, she had begun to hear the voices of who she thought belonged to god and various saints. She believed they were speaking to her to help guide her through life. When she was around fifteen, it was the middle of the hundred years war when…

wealth convinced the pope to turn on this monastic order. The accusations of heresy from Phillippe IV, King of France, seemed quit convenient because of his enormous debt to them. It is also interesting to note that the Templars had never been accused of heresy, and that is why it is also surprising Pope Clement V didn’t seem to put up much of a defense to protect them. The Templars are actually cleared of heresy but are convicted of crimes against the church by their initiation ceremony.…
