question 12

Essay

The author describes groups, such as the Waldensians and Cathars, rising up in the Middle Ages. This ignited the Inquisition and suppression of heresy. Today we have a separation of church and state and widely believe in the primacy of the conscience where anyone can believe and speak out whatever theology one wants. How did the author defend the ideology of the medieval period as a contrast to today? Do you think that Christianity is better off with anyone representing Christianity in any way he or she sees fit?
