Source refs: `video:predictive-history-cjtunkcu1ia@transcript:v1#seg-0029` - diagnosis: The Nicene Creed standardizes the Holy Trinity, but Jiang treats it as an inconsistent formula that must be memorized because questioning it risks heresy. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-tedvhye8po0@transcript:v1#seg-0037`, `video:predictive-history-tedvhye8po0@transcript:v1#seg-0038`, `video:predictive-history-tedvhye8po0@transcript:v1#seg-0039`, `video:predictive-history-tedvhye8po0@transcript:v1#seg-0040` - diagnosis: Cathars threaten the Church because they insist the divine spark is within them and cannot be educated out of that knowledge. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-tedvhye8po0@transcript:v1#seg-0084`, `video:predictive-history-tedvhye8po0@transcript:v1#seg-0085`, `video:predictive-history-tedvhye8po0@transcript:v1#seg-0086`, `video:predictive-history-tedvhye8po0@transcript:v1#seg-0087`, `video:predictive-history-tedvhye8po0@transcript:v1#seg-0088` - historical-model: The Church answers Cathar resistance with Dominicans and the Inquisition, an interrogation society that identifies dissent and burns those who refuse recantation. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-tedvhye8po0@transcript:v1#seg-0091` - diagnosis: Jiang describes early modern secret societies as accepted platforms for educated, wealthy, high-status men to engage religious speculation at the edge of Anglican orthodoxy. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-kw-tin6decm@transcript:v1#seg-0016` - diagnosis: Jiang argues that Galileo's real danger was not disagreement with Church science but claiming authority to interpret Scripture above the Church. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-cjtunkcu1ia@transcript:v1#seg-0028`, `video:predictive-history-cjtunkcu1ia@transcript:v1#seg-0029` - definition: Heresy is defined not as initial misunderstanding but as refusal to admit church authority after the church has educated someone. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-3751zjwmrbw@transcript:v1#seg-0011`, `video:predictive-history-3751zjwmrbw@transcript:v1#seg-0012` - diagnosis: Jiang links Christian orthodoxy after Augustine to the migration of religious dissidents eastward: if people rejected the official interpretation, they had to leave or die. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-c9rzpgj0wm4@transcript:v1#seg-0021`, `video:predictive-history-c9rzpgj0wm4@transcript:v1#seg-0022` - diagnosis: Orthodoxy creates a problem because Christian history must be made on the spot while eliminating divergent forms of Christianity.
