Heretic is a person believing in or practicing religious heresy.

异端乃信奉或实践宗教异端之人。

If you are a Christian ruler, for example, and you are bringing the Christian religion to a bunch of pagans and a bunch of heathens, you are doing them a great deed.

例如， 若你身为基督教，正将基督教信仰传播给一群异教徒和异端，那么你正在为他们做一件伟大的善事。

But, as I also mentioned, Bellarmine explicitly endorsed the burning of books and execution of those deemed to be heretics.

然而，正如我之提到的，贝拉明明确支持焚烧书籍和处决被视为异端的行为。

Yet again, we can point to precursors, in this case especially Sebastian Castelio, who had invaded against John Calvin for consenting to the execution of a heretic in Geneva in 1533, and we covered this in episode 406.

再次地， 我们可以指出先驱，在此例是塞巴斯蒂安·卡斯利奥，他曾因约翰·加尔文在1533年同意处决日内瓦的一名异端而对其提出抗议，我们在第406期节目对此进行了探讨。

Other people are thereby protected from insidious influence, while the heretics themselves are saved from stubbornly prolonging their error.

这样一来， 其他人得以免受潜在有害影响的侵袭，而异端自身也能避免固执地延续其错误。
