The Gray Friars don't spend a great deal of time hunting for active non-believers, preferring to proselytize to those who don't have any particular faith and to minister to anyone who needs them, and in any case the Mother Church's inquisitors – and sometimes the Black Friars – always seem to find the heretics first. Brother Peire has to content himself with talking to his brother friars about what to do about heresies and how to handle the people preaching them.

The consensus, unsurprisingly, is that they must be made to recant, for their own good and the good of their immortal souls, and so they can't spread their heresies like a plague among the faithful. Several of the brothers, as well as the abbot, are old enough to remember the last violent surge of heretical belief and the spiritual trauma that it inflicted on the city, and while no one really wants to see a return to those days, everyone should be prepared for them.
