Yes; and I have heard my brother say that both he and your father held the same views as the Church upon baptism." "So I thought; but Father Geronimo says that at the best it was but heretical baptism, and belike hastily and ineffectually performed." "Put that aside, Peregrine. It is only a temptation and allurement." "It is an allurement you know not how strong," said the poor youth.
Father McGlynn, for example, was excommunicated by the Pope, ostensibly for heretical utterances, but in actuality for espousing the cause of the labor movement. Despite every legitimate argument coupled with venomous ridicule and coercive and corrupt influence that wealth, press and church could bring to bear, the labor unions stood solidly together.
A series of edicts known as the "Placards" was now issued by Charles, prohibiting private meetings for religious worship, reading of the Scripture by laymen, discussions on questions of faith, the destruction of religious emblems, the harboring of heretics, the possession of heretical books, and, in general, all heretic or non-Catholic opinions and practices.
The property of all heretics was confiscated, and on this account they charged the dead with being heretical indicted, as it were, their dust to the end that the church might clutch the bread of orphans.

But the headship of the English Church is annexed to the English crown; and there is no intolerance in saying that a Church ought not to be subjected to a head who regards her as schismatical and heretical.
Sandford sent me a gift that left me no loser by having done my duty. While on the subject of my books, I will record an incident that occurred about the same time, and on which I always look with feelings of indescribable delight. I did not know it until, some years afterwards, the story was related to me by the principal actor in it the abetter of my heretical pravity.
The intention of this elaborate and, reasoned account of the creed and practice of a handful of preachers in a heretical town, could not be mistaken by those at whom it was directed. It produced in the black ranks of official orthodoxy fully as angry a shock as its writer could have designed.
