The Malleus Maleficarum, the Hammer of Witches still exists today; it has taken on the form of social media. Social, or perhaps more accurately, “anti-social” media is now used to destroy someone who affronts, in many cases unintentionally. It is distressfully often you read of someone taking their life or the life of another over something which was posted on one media platform or another. There is no forgiveness, no grace; just a mob mentality self-imbued with a bizarre sense of self-righteousness. It saddens me.
