Abstract


In order to defend religious orthodoxy, the Inquisition relentlessly pursued and punished any kind of heresy. However, Aragonese courts had an additional jurisdiction for the prosecution of all the crimes related to the so-called «abominable sin». This paper aims to analyze the theological conditions which led to the persecution of sodomy as well as its progressive relationship with heresy.
