I'm not sure about the hear say bit, but I think most of it makes a lot of sense - although hear say and heresy do have similarities I guess, they can both be accusatory. I think the heresy part could be all wrapped in the changes in your thinking, like you're having new thoughts that weren't there before and you're being accused of having new ideas and feelings that go against the normal code of practice you've lived by up until recently.

Also the thing about the Inquisition/s is that we know now how stupid they were, that the people being accused weren't doing anything wrong at all, and it was the Inquisitors themselves that were wrong.
