No, it is not right to burn heretics, and I am glad the practice was retired. But it is
understandable. .. N

Well you may understand it, but I don't. When Bishop Cauchon had Joan of Arc burned at the stake he was acting under the full authority of the Church and the infallible Pope. Had there have been any natural law agreed to by humanity the very stones would have cried aloud against this crime.

When Ferdinand and Isabella had the Jews expelled from Spain, robbed, and many burned by the Holy Inquisition they were acting under the full authority of Spanish and Church Law. Would a fanatic who had assassinated both of them with the intention of stopping the violation of the natural law to believe what he will would he have been justified?
