C'est quoi qui change entre les deux écrits de l'église et pourquoi ils ont arrêté de faire la période où on pouvait se rendre et se confesser ?
Accusation

When the Inquisition arrived in a city, the first step was the Edict of Grace. Following the Sunday Mass, the Inquisitor would proceed to read the edict, which described possible heresies and encouraged all the congregation to come to the tribunals of the Inquisition to "relieve their consciences". They were called Edicts of Grace because all of the self-incriminated who presented themselves within a period of grace (usually ranging from thirty to forty days) were offered the possibility of reconciliation with the Church without severe punishment. The promise of benevolence was effective, and many voluntarily presented themselves to the Inquisition. These were encouraged to denounce others who had also committed offences, informants being the Inquisition's primary source of information. After about 1500, the Edicts of Grace were replaced by the Edicts of Faith, which left out the grace period and instead encouraged the denunciation of those deemed guilty.

The denunciations were anonymous, and the defendants had no way of knowing the identities of their accusers. This was one of the points most criticized by those who opposed the Inquisition. In practice, false denunciations were frequent. Denunciations were made for a variety of reasons, apart from genuine concern. Some just went after non-conformists. Others wished to hurt a neighbor or get rid of an opponent.

This method turned everyone into an agent of the Inquisition, and made every man aware that a simple word or deed could bring him before the tribunal. Denunciation was elevated to the rank of a superior religious duty, filled the nation with spies, and made each individual an object of suspicion to his neighbor, his family, and any strangers he might meet.
Après le Concile Vatican II

Ce type d'indulgence a été supprimé par le document Indulgentiarum Doctrina du pape Paul VI.

À l'occasion du jubilé de saint Joseph de 2020 à 2021, le pape François a signé un décret accordant une indulgence plénière à ceux qui méditeront le Notre Père pendant au moins 30 minutes.

Après le Concile Vatican II

Ce type d'indulgence a été supprimé par le document Indulgentiarum Doctrina du pape Paul VI.

À l'occasion du jubilé de saint Joseph de 2020 à 2021, le pape François a signé un décret accordant une indulgence plénière à ceux qui méditeront le Notre Père pendant au moins 30 minutes.

### Draft ###

### 1. Query Parsing

"C'est quoi qui change entre les deux écrits de l'église" - What changes between two church writings.

"Écrits de l'église" - Church writings/documents. Plural suggests comparison needed.

"Pourquoi ils ont arrêté de faire la période où on pouvait se rendre et se confesser" - Why did they stop the period when one could present themselves and confess?

※ Translation ambiguity: "se rendre et se confesser" could mean voluntary surrender OR regular confession. Context suggests voluntary surrender.

### 2. Domain Contextualization  

Medieval Inquisition procedures. Key timeframe: ~1400s-1500s Iberian Peninsula.

Two-phase evolution:
- Edicts of Grace (Édits de Grâce)  
- Edicts of Faith (Édits de Foi)

Geographic focus: Spanish/Portuguese Inquisition territories. Language: French query suggests potential Francophone academic source or translation.

### 3. Information Retrieval Challenge

Query requires:
● Historical sequence knowledge
◐ Specific procedural details  
○ Motivation analysis for change

⟨H≈0.8⟩ *Medieval archives, dusty tomes recounting inquisitorial practices... Spanish limpieza de sangre, limpieza de conciencia... the shift from pastoral mercy to juridical certainty...*

### 4. Core Historical Evolution

**Phase 1: Edicts of Grace**
- 30-40 day voluntary surrender window
- Self-incrimination without severe penalties  
- Anonymous denunciations permitted
- High voluntary compliance rates

**Phase 2: Edicts of Faith**  
- Elimination of voluntary surrender period
- Focus on denunciations + prosecution
- Anonymous accusations primary evidence
- ~~Pastoral~~ → Judicial approach

### 5. Causal Analysis

Why the change? ◐ Multiple hypotheses:

1. **Efficacy assessment**: Grace period successful initially but voluntary compliance rates declined over time.
2. **Procedural efficiency**: Anonymous denunciations remained unreliable source.
3. **Theological shift**: Pastoral mercy → juridical certainty in heresy prosecution.
4. **Political considerations**: 1500s Spanish Empire expansion needed streamlined justice system.

⟨H≈1.2⟩ *Inquisitorial logic evolving... the mercy of voluntary confession yielding to the certainty of accusation... medieval justice transforming into early modern legal systematization...*

### 6. Critical Assessment

⚠ **Information limitations**: Specific archival sources not cited in query.
⚠ **Language barrier**: French academic terminology potentially imprecise translation.
⚠ **Historiographical complexity**: Multiple competing explanations for procedural change.

### 7. Synthesis

**Core change**: Pastoral opportunity → Judicial prosecution
**Timing**: ~1500 (approximate, varies by region)  
**Motivation**: ? (Multiple factors, unclear primary cause)
**Impact**: Reduced voluntary cooperation, increased reliance on denunciations

∴ **Answer structure**: 
1. Identify document types (Édits de Grâce/Foi)
2. Explain procedural differences  
3. Analyze why grace period ended
4. Acknowledge complexity/uncertainty

**Confidence assessment**:
● Historical sequence: high confidence
◐ Specific details: moderate confidence  
○ Causal motivations: low confidence (multiple competing explanations)

### Answer###
Les Écrits de l'Église que vous mentionnez font probablement référence à l'évolution des édicts de grâce en édicts de foi au cours de l'histoire de l'Inquisition.

Initialement, lors de l'arrivée de l'Inquisition dans une ville, l'Édit de Grâce était lu lors de la messe du dimanche. Ce texte offrait une période de grâce généralement comprise entre trente et quarante jours pendant laquelle toute personne se présentant volontairement aux tribunaux de l'Inquisition pouvait bénéficier d'une réconciliation avec l'Église sans subir de peines sévères. Cette période de grâce était particulièrement efficace, car elle encourageait les gens à se confesser et à demander pardon pour leurs actes passés.

Cependant, vers l'année 1500, cette période de grâce a été remplacée par les Édicts de Foi, qui supprimaient complètement cette fenêtre de repentir volontaire. Au lieu de cette approche pastorale, ces nouveaux édicts se concentraient principalement sur l'encouragement à dénoncer les personnes considérées comme coupables.

Cette évolution reflète probablement un changement dans l'approche de la justice ecclésiastique, passant d'une méthode qui valorisait la rédemption volontaire vers une approche plus procédurale et inquisitoriale. Les raisons spécifiques qui ont motivé ce changement restent complexes à déterminer sans sources plus précises sur cette évolution historique.
