What does the word Heretic mean,I already looked it up on Wiki and Dictionary.com nothing usable.
I didn't have any trouble finding the definition of heretic in Dictionary.com...
Joan d'Arc was considered a heretic, also...

As Phrannie points out, it's not hard finding an online definition, as long as you spell it right.
You mkight want to bookmark: the online Merriam-Webster (good for US style):http://www.merriam-webster.com/
and the online Cambridge (especially for UK style):http://dictionary.cambridge.org/
Or by not finding 'anything usable' did you mean that the definitions didn't fit what you had expected?
heretics were people in the time of Queen Mary I (bloody mary) and her sister, Queen Elizabeth I (the virgin queen) who were against changing the national religion. most heretics were tortured and burned at the stakes for commiting "heresy" or not switching to the new national religion. :)
A heretic is someone who goes against church beliefs.
