Right. Exactly right. Rome pronounced her a heretic and turned her over to be executed. And when Rome later felt the egg oozing down, political expediency required that the story change to hide the error. This is called playing both sides of the issue so you look good to two crowds while hoping nobody catches on.. Only Rome could out-Clinton Clinton. But then they were doing it long before Bill came along.
Joan was captured by the troops of the Duke of Burgundy who was waging war, in alliance with England, against the French King and the rest of France.
Joan was tried under the jurisdiction of Pierre Cauchon, the Bishop of Beauvais, a partisan of the Burgundian party.
The Bishop of Beauvais' authority was invoked because Compiègne, where Joan was captured, lay in the Diocese of Beauvais. However, since Beauvais was in French hands, the trial was held at Rouen.
Could you document for us how England, the Duke of Burgundy waging war against the French King and the Burgundian partisan Pierre Cauchon, the Bishop of Beauvais, merit the title of "Rome".
If the English, the rebellious Duke of Burgundy and his partisan Pierre Cauchon, the Bishop of Beauvais, represented "Rome", what did the French King Charles VII and the rest of France that was loyal to the French King represent?
