your farmland was flooded in severe weather? bad luck, god was angry with you, burning at stake time after being tortured so extract a 'confession' to confirm you are indeed in legue with the devil.
your daughter is exceptionally beautiful? some retard ratted her out to the church claiming she seduced him with devilish magic as revenge for her rejecting him, she will be tortured & drowned after the priest verifies that her beauty indeed is too alluring to be of natural origin.
catholics are historically illiterate.
