To root up from the midst of Christian people the weed
1
of heretical wickedness, whic
h infests the healthy plants
more than it formerly did, pouring out licentiousness through the offices of the enemy of mankind in this age the
more eagerly (as we address ourselve
s to the sweated labor of the task assigned us) the more dangerously we
overlook the manner in which this weed runs riot among the Catholic growth.
2
Desiring, then, that the sons of
the church, and fervent adherents of the orthodox faith, rise
up and make their stand against the artificers of this
kind of evildoing, we hereby bring forth to be followed by you as by the loyal defenders of the faith, with exact
care, these regulations, contained serially in the following document, for the rooting-up of the plague of heresy.

My question is, do we indict jesus of being a conspirator to the torture and deaths of so many innocent people in the following years?
