- Title
La libertad religiosa en los tiempos de los aquelarres y los autos de fe.
- Authors
Echeverri, Alberto
- Abstract
An unfortunate episode in the history of the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches, spanning five hundred years from thirteenth to eighteenth century Europe, was that of the persecution of witches, wizards and sorcerers, especially women, for which both churches have earned persistent criticism since the Age of Enlightenment. Revealing fundamentalism, whether active or passive that, hidden behind the theological discourse, defended that which it self-proclaimed as the only true faith and based on which it advocated the preservation of the security of states, which is indispensable when new fundamentalisms beset the nascent religious freedom in contemporary democracies. The text focuses on the evolution of the most significant events and characters of the persecution, century after century, while it attempts to highlight a coherent evangelical sense that seems not to have taken into account the civil and ecclesiastical decisions and theological literature that supported them.
