−	~~In the~~ [[Catholic]] church, a heretic is anyone who teaches or preaches that which is not church doctrine or canon. Traditionally, a suspected heretic is given an opportunity to ''recant'', or officially withdraw their heretical views and be welcomed back into the fold; a heretic who resumes his or her heretical beliefs is said to have ''relapsed''. In the Middle Ages and the [[Renaissance]], relapsed heretics were generally turned over to the state (the ''secular arm'') for [[Capital Punishment\|execution]].	+	#REDIRECT [[Heresy]]
