Malleus Maleficarum & The Witch-Hunt

[eibon81]

300warrior300: Kramer was insane? They were probably ALL insane! I personally believe that all the outrageous things people were accused of were the products of the Inquisitor's twisted minds and repressed sexuality....Oscullum Obscenum, anyone? Either that or they were ripped to the tits on mushrooms......

[eibon81]

emmthreejonny; I suppose you could include ANY reppresive Dogma really, be it Religous, Political......Man's inhumanity to man is quite horrible and I think somthing like the Malleus helps to highlight certain aspects of predjudice and discrimination. What's the old saying? Those that ignore History are Doomed to repeat it....

[emmthreejonny]

@eibon81 That's true. Mallues Maleficarum was never officially approved by the church, it was used remotely by local courts in towns. Local courts happen to be the worst courts, they were unprofessional and treated their cases hurriedly. This caused 90% convicted witches to their deaths.

Malleus was even shunned by the Inquisitors and its author, Kramer, was heavily criticized and kept an eye on. Ironically, it was the secular judiciary not the Inquisitorial body that resorted to the Malleus.

[300warrior300]

@eibon81 I don't think there malluas was predjudiced or discriminive. The malleus was based on lies and madness. Kramer was insane, he wasn't discriminating, because there is no witchcraft cult, poor fellow probably thought he was doing a service to humanity, helping to defeat a huge diabolical conspiracy,the whole witchcraft episode is rather bizarre.

[eibon81]

This is fact people.....there is no greater kingdom given to bloodshed than that of Christ. Mind you, the Nazi's were not much better....

@emmthreejonny

It's a quotation from the prophecies of the great Merlin. The 'race' (although not really a race of such) relates to those of the heathen of Britain . Witches included.

[TheThreeWeavers]

'The cult of religion shall be destroyed completely, and the ruin of the churches shall be clear for all to see. The race that is oppressed shall prevail in the end, for it will resist the savagery of the invaders.'

[Jeorney]

I thought Malleus Maleficarum was a coded medieval eupherism for penis, after all, it does mean "Hammer of the Witches" :D

@Drill48 The Islamic People have been possessed by a spirit of antichrist and sold their souls to the Devil at the parting of Ishmael from Abraham. They will burn in hell for their evil. All who do not fall before the King Jesus will be banished forever to the pit. Do not speak lightly of God's servants who have done so bravely in killing those who work witchcraft as we are commanded in Exodus! There is no way around it, witches are to be put to death.

[AisulosDaimonion]

Amen! God bless all those good people for killing the servants of Satan! May their souls be forever damned in hell for their evil in service of Satan! Jesus does not tolerate witchcraft!

[GAPgayandproud2007]

@AisulosDaimonion And yet practitioners of the craft (like myself) don't feel any hatred towards you at all. it is attitudes like that which have caused every war and conflict in our entire history. You have been sadly misinformed by an group of religious leaders who preach that you love your neighbour unless that neighbour is different to you then you should hate and kill him. We have one law. "an it harm none, do what thou will." much like "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

[BlackLaval]

@emmthreejonny I am a Christian myself (a former atheist) but I don't think I totally agree with what you say, I don't think ignorance was the sole cause of all this, after all this very book (Malleus Maleficarum) is full of quotations from the Bible and the Church Fathers. I think the main cause which brought about all this sad business was some luciferian virtue, namely: arrogance , after all Satan is the Accuser, a self-righteous Grand Inquisitor, as the Book of Job shows us.

[BlackLaval]

@BlackLaval The arrogance of deeming yourself a judge to other, an truly Anti-Christian stance as Jesus, according to the Scripture is the sole Judge of All Creation.

[AisulosDaimonion]

@BlackLaval The Bible states very clearly we are not to allow witches to live. There is no room for error in God's word. You should repent of your blasphemy and idolatry. You have set your own mind above that of the Lord God's word in your selfish service of your wicked flesh. Repent.

[BlackLaval]

Milton in a famous sonnet said: "Avenge, oh Lord, thy slaughter'd Saints."

I guess we also should ask the Lord to avenge his slaughtered sinners.

This is so sad.

[kazuma888]

ye i have same believes as a wiccan to this book is sick

[noxtradamentus]

I was reading about this today. But this one was not an official book, I mean the church never approved the publication of this shit, never the less, it was the most sold book on that time, well it was the second one, the bible is always the first. Thanks a lot for the vid! :P

[toadswildride]

all of that great info. and no *music credit*??????

[BlackLaval]

Beautiful song, what's it's name?

I agree with the spirit of the comments here, such a sad, infuriating thing.

"He shall redeem the despised and wreak vengeance upon the burned and the tortured!"

There's also a movie that is kind of a narrative adaption of Malleus Maleficuram, such an infurating story.

And that book, is really hard to read, repulsively sick minds spreading hate, there's true evilness and satanism in that book but it's not in the witches, it's in the writers, the inquisitors.

[jezzeronthecoast]

what is it exodis 22:18 KJB 'thou shalt not suffer a witch to live'.

I saw this book, in reality once it is amazing to think the destruction belief can cause.

christians

[tyranid59]

[tyranid59]

the malleus malleficarum rock

[Nonametral]

Um, wiccan....

[Nonametral]

this is so, so sad :( it makes me want to cry... To think that most of them were only women who were a little bit out of the ordinary... They were just society outcasts just like most of us now...

[Slaughtervid]

i agree with you totally...

The atrosities that were done in the name of "jesus" and "the church" are reason enough to bring the church crumbling down

[MenapianWarrior]

@Slaughtervid 'God' and 'Jesus' are more then a bunch of fanatics committing murders and getting rich on the misery of others ... i don't understand why atheists are always spreading nonsense like this on youtube? u are a hater yourself for saying a church that gives salvation to millions should crumble down, and that makes u the same as those intolerant witchhunters

[Corvusdotensis]

Witch hunt was perhaps the worse iniquity that humanity ever praticed!
