Line 4:
To qualify as a heresy worthy of condemnation, the "heresy" should have an intrinsic connection to doctrines of the church in question. Someone who merely disagrees with the Church as an outsider is not a heretic - for instance, Hypatia of Alexandria. Wiccans are not considered "heretics" to the Catholic religion, but Padre Ned Reidy was put on trial for heresy.
The word "heretic" is from a Greek word meaning "to choose," so a heretic can be thought of as a person who chooses his own path. Christian theologian Irenaeus popularized the word heresy in the Christian world in his anti-[[Gnosticism|Gnostic]] tracts. Multiple heretics often form a [[Cult]].

== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* The reformation had just started at the start of [[The Tudors]], but gained momentum as the series went on. Because of that the [[Loads and Loads of Characters|list grew ever longer]]. Here goes: [[Femme Fatale|Anne Boleyn]], [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Thomas Cromwell]], [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Archbishop Cranmer]], [[Complete Monster|Thomas Boleyn]], [[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask|Catherine Parr]], [[Girl in the Tower|Anne Parr]], [[Magnificent Bastard|Edward Seymour]], [[Magnificent Bastard|Anne Stanhope]], [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|Thomas Seymour]], [[Put on a Bus|The Duchess of Suffolk]], [[Cool Teacher|Kate Ashley]] and [[One-Scene Wonder|Anne Askew]]. Some of them suffered for it, all the others at least lived in fear of discovery.
** [[Wise Beyond Their Years|Elizabeth]] and [[A Child Shall Lead Them|Edward]] are also raised this way.
** During the course of the series quite a few minor characters got burned and tortured for this reason as well.
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''[[Warhammer
** '''*BLAM*'''
* Seen every now and then in ''[[Eberron]]''.
