I presume your talking about Joan of Arc? My understanding here was that it was actually the English rather than the pope that where behind it. They knew that the morale boost she was giving the french was proving decisive in them winning. Of course when they killed her it only inflamed the french more. So it kind of backfiered.Well, yes and no. I mean, sure, historically most peeps the Inquisition (Spanish or otherwise) ever burned at the stake was the wee folk, but there has been exceptions to this rule. Joan the Schizophrenic springs to mind there. In-game, she would have been a 10 Piety general .
In the end however they decided they needed her out of the way.
Finnially, be careful with the anti- religion comments, you'll bring a lot of angry people down on your head if your not careful. We don't want a flame war here. Religion vs. anti-religion debates are probably the worst flame war in exsisitance.
