The Story of Joan of Arc the Witch-Saint

"The Story of Joan of Arc the Witch-Saint" by M. M. (Mangasar Mugurditch) Mangasarian is a captivating exploration of Joan of Arc's extraordinary life, from her triumphs on the battlefield leading the French army to her unjust trial and execution for heresy. Presenting a critical view, this book uncovers the conflicts surrounding Joan's heroic acts and ultimate condemnation by the Catholic Church during the Hundred Years' War, revealing the political motivations driving the accusations against her. The author sheds light on the paradox of her later sainthood, achieved after her death, while also suggesting that her celebrated visions, dismissed as witchcraft, were actually manifestations of her profound determination. The story serves as a strong reminder of Joan’s lasting impact and questions the fairness and consistency of religious institutions when faced with individual conviction and reason.
