What happened to you if your beliefs didn't agree with the medieval church?

The problem does not specifically lie with beliefs, as much as it does with statements. If you keep your beliefs to yourself, no one need know what they are, and no one will ever get angry with you for having different beliefs than they do. Once you express your beliefs, then people may get angry with you, if they have different beliefs than those which you have expressed.
In matters of religion there are actually two different kinds of opinions that the church would find offensive. First there is heresy, which means some kind of religious opinion which is different, in some important way, than what the church teaches. Secondly there is blasphemy, which is an opinion that is considered to be an insult either to God or to God's representatives on Earth. (Of course, it is possible to be both heretical and blasphemous at the same time.)
During the medieval period, heresy and blasphemy were both considered to be very serious crimes, and the most usual punishment for them was death. The traditional method of execution was to burn people at the stake (which is to say, they would be tied to a stake or pole, and then a wood fire would be built all around them, to burn them to death).

Well the church was it's own "person" back then. They were able to choose high ranked officials and the King had to often agree with them. The church was a big thing in medieval times.
