Herecy was a common thing during the renaissance. Plenty of
people were accused of this and the majority of the accused were fined. A
couple of these heretics were burnt at the stake for their actions. One of the
reasons for this was the chaos of the Catholic Church. At one point in time
during the renaissance, the Catholic Church had three popes showing how easy it
was to be a heretic to one and a perfect Christian to another. Also the amount
of Christians in a city-state contributed to the number of heretics.
The reason I am blogging about heretics and the catholic
church is because the majority of the laws and regualtions were based on
Christianity. The laws reguarding the Jews were all because they were not
christian. The people were allowed to have slaves is the slaves were not
christian. They were also allowed to use their slaves however they wanted.
Brothels were made to try and regualte the sin of adultery and make some money
for the Commune. The Christians were attempting to clean up the city.
