This Element examines hierarchical and clerical understandings of witchcraft within the contemporary Roman Catholic church. It explores whether it is possible to adopt any kind of coherent approach to a phenomenon appraised so differently across different cultures that the church's responses in one context are likely to seem irrelevant in another.
