I'll answer your question; but, with a caveat - Who determined that Joad was a heretic. Even the movies which the Catholics here about herald don't try to obscure as you just have, who's role that was. So, who deemed Joan a Heretic and turned her over to the civil authority for burning?
Right, that was the office of the Inquisition which happens to represent most directly - ROME. Rome found it in it's power to threaten people with excommunication followed by the charge of heresy for not putting an avowed heretic to death if so charged to do so; but, when it comes to someone Rome now wishes to say was not only innocent; but, rather a saint - Rome's power evaporates before our eyes and we are to believe they had none and could do nothing. Poppycock!
Rome was complicit in putting this woman to death and then raises to sainthood a woman they themselves had part in martyring. Incidentally, this is precisely why Christ removed from men the authority to stand in mortal judgement over the soul of another.. mortal judgement - cause you don't know what that person's heart holds nor what God is capable of doing with that person later if they live. What does scripture say about destroying the temple of the living God?

Right, that was the office of the Inquisition which happens to represent most directly - ROME. The actions Office of the Inquisition in the rebellious Duchy of Burgandy during a civil war with the King of France represents "Rome" just as the actions of the ultra-liberal Ninth Circuit Court represent "Washington".
The verdicts of the Ninth Circuit Court are very frequently overturned by the Supreme Court in Washington.
Once the English were driven out of Roen and the transcripts of the trail became available, the presiding Inquisitor, Jean Bréhal, ruled that the original trial had been tainted by fraud, illegal procedures and politically motivated intimidation of witnesses and it's verdict was overturned.
