Key Innovations for elimination of heresy and heretics |
|
|
Approval of Papal Bull from Pope Nicholas III in 1280 concerning the forfeit of human rights of accused heretics: |
|
|
"...If any, after being seized, wish to repent and do penance, they shall be imprisoned for life. ...All who receive, defend, or aid heretics shall be excommunicated. ...If those who were suspected of heresy cannot prove their innocence, they shall be excommunicated. If they remain under the ban of excommunication for a year, they shall be condemned as heretics. They shall have no right of appeal. " |
