| Jan 4, 2017 at 20:32 | comment | added | Paul Chernoch | "Offenses were graded in accord with the rank of the person offended. Because God was supreme, sin against him transcended all others, and heresy... was considered to be the most heightened form of treason against the divine majesty." This was a feudal view of things. | |
