The Middle Ages was a time of extreme religious devotion and only one religion was accepted in Europe: Christianity, and also only one church was considered proper: the Roman Catholic Church. A heretic would be anyone who would challenge in any way anything that the church was saying. (even that the Earth rotates around the Sun).
