Of Love and Other Demons Ending

After reading the conclusion of the novel, Of Love and Other Demons, it ended with Sierva the little girl with the copper hair dying to a broken heart. Sierva's death although saddening was not surprising since at the start of the book there was a reference to a little girl's remains inside the catacombs. Her untimely demise was to be blamed because of the church. The church finding that Sierva was different from the rest would use her as a target in the name of the church. Because they targeted her they would torture her through inhumane housing, "exorcisms", and reopening of her wounds. The way the church was able to escape from any logic used to counter what they were doing was by saying that Sierva was possessed or that Sierva needed to be treated due to her contraction from a bite of a dog that was said to have rabies. I believe that the only reason why the church targeted Sierva was because she would have been able to make a difference and alter the influence of the church. And so with the church being "all-mighty" as it is, would impose it's self-righteousness upon a girl who was just social and associated herself with the slaves because she was placed there.
