- Title
GOODBYE TO WALDENSIANISM?
- Authors
Biller, Peter
- Abstract
The article features a discussion on Waldensianism. Waldensianism denotes one of the two great heretical sects of the high Middle Ages, the other being Catharism. It was founded by Valdes, a Lyon merchant who was converted to the religious life in the early 1170s and formed a movement which was excommunicated in 1184. The movement bifurcated into the full Waldensians, whose followers lived within the Catholic Church while receiving some Waldensian instruction in secrecy.
