Heretics one and all

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.
