Men and women were condemned for heresy because they rejected teachings of the church, some of which were based on the pagan philosophies of Aristotle and Plato ​ — men who lived before Jesus Christ was born.
Inimesi süüdistati ketserluses, sest nad hülgasid kiriku õpetused, millest paljud olid mõjutatud enne Kristust elanud Aristotelese ja Platoni filosoofilistest ideedest.
