Ah yes, the Moo-taur.
A fantastical beast with the head of a bull...
... and the body of a bull.

She reincarnated too many times that if the tag wasn't there, you'd almost forget this was an isekai...

Bingo Cards at the ready folks, is it heresy because;
  • New ideas
  • She's unintentionally threatening their profits
  • She's too young (a devil!)
  • She's a woman (lady devil!)
  • A prophecy/oracle/dream said so
  • Politics/powerplay
  • She looked at a Cardinal funny once
  • I've asked too many questions, and now I'm a heretic too!
Or, like a certain phone company, the church might be suppressing advanced knowledge for one reason or another

Pretty haphazard actions from the church. They are stepping on the king's toes. By trying to arrest someone under the king's direct protection, the church is basically spitting on the king's face. It's impossible for the king to accept such an attack, lest he's soon not the highest authority in the country. The church leadership can expect a nice little reformation if they aren't careful.
It depends on the country and time period. At this medieval period, where swords, knights and such are in abundance, the church technically has more power than the king. Because only God can command them. And since God is, well, God. That makes it really difficult to refute the church since they are the equivalent to another country. Plus, most of the time, crowning the next king takes place at the church. So, yeah, it's a REALLY big grey area.

The kings and church worked typically in smooth enough cooperation back then. In the first place, monotheism was born because it's extremely convenient for governing people. In history, the church veering too far off from this did lead to the reformation, which was such a big deal that it also affected the catholic world. But before that, it wasn't the church's first option to try to alianate itself from the secular power, although it did happen occasionally. Conversely, the secular rulers also promoted the church's power precisely because it didn't overlap significantly, rather these two powers supported each other in keeping the masses in check.

Though, in a lot of works, the church tend to have more power than the king for some reason. Hopefully, this isn't one of them.

Plus side, the church can't really touch her. The god in charge favors her. So she can't be charge with heresy.

I hope it's because of some lame politics because if they're pulling from that misconception of Galileo and the church I'm going to be annoyed.
