I have to agree with MrK, priest were treated horribly, we are focusing too much on the hysteria.

too true people forget in war there are two sides both believing they are right; then there is the third, those caught in the cross fire.
as for the plague they also did not really use water much and thought bleeding to be a good cure(for anything). Nostradamus was one of the ones to implement the better of the two. He was one of the best doctors of those times, and also was on the front line with the plague and never got it himself, most thought him insane.
My belief in this matter is that the church state wanted to eradicate the old belief for what they saw right, but the people with there petty squabbles and such used it for there own means and those in power were much the same...
Man is invited to question, discover, explore,
and manipulate the world around him and use it for his benefit.
