Question

who was Menocchio? what is its relation with chruch?

Answer 1

Menocchio is known for his interpretation of the Bible and his view of the cosmos. The printing press had allowed the access to several books in the local languages. Menocchio too read several books and came to certain conclusions that were unacceptable to the Roman Catholic Church. He believed that Jesus was just another human and the Pope did not have any special divine powers. It was because of his views that he was executed by the Church's order.
