The conflict between witches and Christians was a conflict between the innocent and powerless, and the intolerant and powerful. It was a conflict in which superstition played a part, not least on the Christian side. In medieval times, there is evidence that some were accused of witchcraft in order to gain access to their wealth, and in other cases women were threatened with trial on that charge unless they paid bribes or offered sexual favours. Thus it was a conflict in which the Church as an institution, but sometimes also corrupt members of the Church, demonstrated their absolute power over the most vulnerable in society. All these issues should be present for a valid comparison between this conflict and any modern conflict.
No conflict of recent times bears close comparison with the experiences that so-called witches faced over a period of several centuries.
