Thomas d'Aquin, the doctor of the church whose novels are "the rampart (fortification) and glory of the cahtolic faith (Pope Léon XIII. Encyclique Æterni Patris) says in his 'Somme Théologique', part. II, q. 11, art. 4: "[...] It's why those who come back from (having committed) heresy for the first time, the church not only admits them to penitence (repentment) but also leaves their life safe (saved?); and sometimes, through indulgence, it (the church) gives them ecclestiastic dignities should they appear truly converted. History teaches us that she (the church) has often done this for the good of the peace. But, when those who have been accommodated fall (into sin) again, it seems that it is a sign of ther inconsistence in matters of faith. That's why, if they come back (to faith) at a later stage, they are surely admitted (open?) to penitence, not however to the point of avoiding the death penalty
