Religious bodies

Explanation:

The Church judged those known as heretics, who taught false doctrines. Heretics are individuals who behave contrary to the accepted doctrine of a religious doctrine.

They are usually judged and subjected to a fair hearing to establish the truth and anyone found culpable was usually dealt with or expunged. This was done to preserve the doctrines and prevent elements from misleading the congregation.
