Checked wikipedia. I found the following crimes that the church executed people for:
Being a (crypto) Jew, criticizing the papacy, being an atheist, saying Jesus was from Kongo, witchcraft.
Anyone else got some crimes to add? I don't count the local authorities executing someone for whatever a holy book says, but the Catholic/protestant/orthodox church did
I know it's slightly more than 400 years, but: Science, aka. heresy in those days.

Ahhh the good ole....wait a minute...
Buggery.
Do you have a wikipedia article? I'd like to read it.

Ah, sorry. I meant someone executed by the church for it.
My bad, have the tendency to take any online discussion initially as a joke.

Not a wiki but had some good info. Couldn't find cited sources but checked out with the buggery act wiki page.
... witchcraft?
