Look up
Witch-Hunt#Middle_Ages -— good article on witch burning -— and you will see that historically the Catholic Church opposed the prosecution of witches on the grounds that witches do not exist, therefore advocating the suppression of witches is in itself superstition.
Dear mrs don-,
re witches do not exist.
It seems here is the argument of the centuries ...
A church founded on a figure that proclaimed to fulfill ‘the law’, and not to do away
with it, ignores a commandment
in Leviticus, i.e. ‘suffer not
a witch to live’, and says that, although it is written
as existing, it does not exist.
