Recantation
The verb recant , and its derivative noun recantation, can mean:To formally abandon a belief or a particular statement of belief, generally under order from an ecclesiastical authority (often a
synod or
ecumenical council, or, in the
Roman Catholic Church, the
Inquisition,
Holy Office, or even on rare occasion the contemporary
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith) to enforce an
orthodoxy. If ordered to recant by such an ecclesiastical authority, one who refused to recant is
anathematized or
excommunicated. Sometimes the order included threats of physical punishment (e.g., the proverbial
burning at the stake, as happened in the trial of St.
Jeanne d'Arc).In classical Roman
poetry, after describing something
hyperbolically, to briefly re-describe it without the exaggeration. (This is the original meaning.)Or see
revocation.
