For example, those of who showed any sign of not agreeing with an aspect of the bible were nearly immediately condemned as a heretic automatically.

Unfortunately, the crew did not enjoy traveling so far down present-day South America without knowing where they were going, and four of the five ships decided to attempt to attack Magellan, who hatched a plan to regain control. Consequently, their intelligent captain formulated a plan……(explain)
