The only clergyman who effectively opposed the witchcraft trials in Salem Village was Reverend Increase Mather. He urged for caution and demanded more concrete evidence before accusing someone of witchcraft. Despite facing criticism and accusations himself, Mather's efforts played a significant role in ultimately ending the trials.

Was Khomeini a British agent from British freemasonry and Freemason Moslem Brotherhood?

NO, he was not. First, the Muslim Brotherhood is opposed to Freemasonry. Muslim Brothers have attacked and destroyed Masonic Lodges in Egypt and several other countries. Second, if Khomeini was a British agent, he was the worst kind of agent in that he toppled a pro-British regime and replaced it with a regime categorically opposed to all British interests. Khomeini was also opposed to Freemasons, effectively hunting them out of the country. Khomeini also opposed the Muslim Brotherhood since the latter was a Sunni Islamist organization as opposed to a Shiite Islamist organization; this led directly to the creation of Hezbollah to be a Shiite option in the Islamist Militant sphere.

What happened to the individuals who pleaded innocent to the charges of witchcraft as opposed to those who pled guilty?

The answer seems to be that those who pleaded innocent were acquitted. Per Answers.com, "Nearly two hundred people were accused of practicing witchcraft in Salem during the summer of 1692. Twenty accused witches were executed, fifteen women and five men." This despite the facts that the accused had no right to legal counsel, and were presumed guilty.

What did witches do to be persecute by the church?

Several reasons: 1: The Bible teaches that witchcraft is evil and an enemy of godly teaching. 2: The symbols and rituals of witchcraft and satanism are direct opposite of those of the church. The church was against all these as it made light of the churches holy rituals. (Actually the symbol of witchcraft is a Pentagram or Triquetta. Just like the cross, when inverted the Pentagram becomes a symbol that Satanists use.) 3: Many church leaders were mistaken in condemning the people and not the sin. 4. Paganism predates Christianity and was the predominate religion before Christ was born. Like Christianity, Paganism has many denominations such as Witchcraft. The Roman empire adopted Christianity and Roman soldiers killed all who opposed. Wicca is a modern form of Witchcraft that has one basic rule, Harm none. It is not the same type of Witchcraft talked about in the Christian Bible, it began long after the Bible was written by several different people sharing their opinion on what took place, which is why it is often confused and interpreted in many ways.

What was the nasty RRR label attached to the democratc party by a republican speaker in the election of 1884?

"Rum, Romanism and Rebellion" This label was applied by a Republican clergyman because the Democrats opposed Prohibition laws, and were supported by many Irish Catholics in the North as well as by former Confederates in the South. The Democrat, Grover Cleveland, won the election despite (or because of) the slogan.
