1
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:09,160
I'm in a scholarly mood. Lately, I'm in a stream, NonStop type

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:19,039
of mood. We're gonna be covering
Malcolm Lambert's magisterial book Medieval Heresies. Excuse

3
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:24,120
me, Medieval Heresy. I took
these notes back in about two thousand and

4
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,640
five or six when I read the
book when I was doing my undergrad It

5
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:31,039
wasn't related to my classes, none
of my classes really. I had a

6
00:00:31,079 --> 00:00:37,880
few medieval classes. They didn't really
deal with medieval church history. A few

7
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,960
did, but it was just an
interest of my own. So we'll be

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,280
covering this book in depth. This
will be at least a two part lecture,

9
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,799
maybe more because of the amount of
material, and back then in my

10
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,159
twenties, I took copious notes.
I would take hundreds of pages of notes

11
00:00:55,759 --> 00:01:00,960
to remember things and one or two
classes away. For I'm a double major

12
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:06,519
in history, so I do have
quite a bit of historical reading under my

13
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:12,640
belt. Malcolm Lambert's book is,
of course one of the probably classic scholarly

14
00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:23,519
works on the medieval heresy movements,
grigoryan Reform all the way up to right

15
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,000
before the Reformation. So we'll get
up to Jean huss and some of the

16
00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:30,840
pre Reformation characters. I think Wickliffe
might even come up. I don't recall,

17
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:38,959
but I think the book ends with
the Bohemian Prague Reformation characters. And

18
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:45,000
I don't recall if I started my
note taking a little bit into the book,

19
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,799
but my notes begin with the spiritual
Franciscans and the heretical Joachamites. These

20
00:01:52,239 --> 00:01:56,920
come up in many modern analyzes of
the history of revolutionary thought. So if

21
00:01:56,959 --> 00:02:01,200
you're interested in the history of Marxism
communists, many people will point to the

22
00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:07,800
Joakimites. Even Cardinal Ratzinger in his
book Introduction of Christianity. I think he's

23
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:14,680
got a section on Jokim Fior.
Jordan Peterson also has commented on Yoakim of

24
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:20,319
Fior. So these are important characters. This is going to be pretty dense.

25
00:02:20,439 --> 00:02:23,800
It's not going to be It'll be
like the Pelicon introduction that we did

26
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:30,759
five hour lecture covering the totality of
Pelican Volume one. I will eventually do

27
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:38,800
the totality of Pelican Volume two and
Pelican Volume three. These are really good

28
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:46,800
and this book fits in with those. Also potentially irrelevant is a book kind

29
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,599
of similar to what we're doing tonight
it's Western focused, but Marcia Colish's book

30
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,960
Medieval Foundations of the Western Intellectual Tradition, I read this back in the two

31
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,080
thousands as well. Let's get into
it. So another reason we're doing this

32
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:09,080
is because we want to look back, after many years of reflecting on Orthodox

33
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:15,919
theology and being grounded in that mindset, to reflect on the analysis that I

34
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,560
had of Roman Catholicism back in about
two thousand and four or five when I

35
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:23,240
read this as a young trad I
think I was a Latin mascower at this

36
00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:30,039
time two thousand and four or five. So let's look at where Malcolm Lambert

37
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:35,520
takes us the Franciscan problem. A
lot of these problems, by the way,

38
00:03:35,639 --> 00:03:44,439
will be problems due to the theological
infasies and dialectical struggles in the West

39
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:52,080
after the East West Split twelve seventy
four. This is relevant because twelve seventy

40
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,199
four is right about the time that
we would say, I mean, yeah,

41
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,039
there's ten fifty four, But twelve
seventy four is when the Roman Caelat

42
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:08,840
dogmatic at the Council of Lyons states
the double hypostatic procession, the doctrine that

43
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,400
orthodoxy does not accept welcome everybody.
We've got tonight one hundred and sixty six

44
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:23,959
nerds, and we're going to be
getting into some deep stuff. So Francis

45
00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:27,800
of Assisi, as you know,
he's one of the most famous Roman Catholic

46
00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:38,560
saints. France of Assisi is the
probably the most notable, most recognizable of

47
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,920
the Roman Catholic saints, other than
you know, Mary or something like that.

48
00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:46,800
But there's some great articles, by
the way that will contrast the saints

49
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,680
in Orthodoxy versus the saints in Rome
Catholicism, and what we start to see

50
00:04:51,759 --> 00:05:00,759
is a difference in the devotion and
the mystical experiences at this very time period.

51
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:08,759
The different orders of rom Catholicism will
be contrasted to the pretty standard orders

52
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,720
of Orthodox monastas. There's just one
kind of Orthodox monastas and there's not all

53
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,319
these different orders, so to speak. Now, Francis is interesting because he

54
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:23,639
comes at a time when there was
a lot of religious political corruption, a

55
00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:28,959
lot of bishops buying off bishoprics,
simony, this kind of stuff. Political

56
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:34,000
guy's buying off bishops, and so
Francis has the idea at his death of

57
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:40,079
a testament, and so he puts
forth this quote testament, and the later

58
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:46,839
Franciscans themselves ironically will turn worldly and
become very powerful, and there will be

59
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,920
a later counter action to return to
the early purity period after twelve seventy four.

60
00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:00,279
One of the first spiritual quote unquote
Franciscans is the character Peter Olivi LVI

61
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:05,639
was dominated dominate the mind of all
the quote spirituals. He worked out the

62
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:15,839
consistent what was seen to be the
consistent poverty doctrine of the Franciscans. The

63
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:23,000
use of goods was viewed by Peter
Olive as a mortal sin an absurd doctrine.

64
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,560
But nevertheless, apparently Peter thought that
was the case. The Roman Catholic

65
00:06:27,639 --> 00:06:32,160
Saint Bonaventure did not accept this as
except he thought this was too rigorous,

66
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:39,439
and so Bonavnder said, now having
property itself is not inherently sinful, And

67
00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:44,079
in fact, the property used was
owned by the papacy, and therefore it

68
00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:47,879
was under the rule of Peter,
and if Peter accepted it, then it

69
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:57,720
was okay. But you'll notice that
the locus of the corruption here there is

70
00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:02,800
a legitimate critique, because of the
Roman Catholic papacy had attained to such a

71
00:07:03,399 --> 00:07:12,079
worldly palatial status in terms of money
and so forth. And so this is

72
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,439
part of the reason of why there's
a reaction on the part of these Franciscans

73
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:23,319
due to the actual corruption. The
Franciscans ran into an immediate controversy with Dominicans,

74
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,759
the Dominicans, of course, Thomas
Aquinas the dominant fam most famous Dominican

75
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,040
dominic founder of the Order of Dominicans, and the Dominicans, of course had

76
00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:40,360
a much more theological philosophical approach and
would reason with this and said, you

77
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:46,480
guys are really unreasonable. There's nothing
wrong with owning property. Olivie, however,

78
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:54,079
prepared the way interestingly enough for William
of Baucam in his thinking, and

79
00:07:54,199 --> 00:07:58,600
this bothered many Franciscans. So OLIVI
was pretty much a radical. He had

80
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:01,480
some really weird philosophical use. And
you'll prepare the way for William of Aaukham,

81
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,839
the first nominalist. This is when
we'll begin to see nominalism rise to

82
00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:11,959
the fore. But already you can
begin to see the preparations laid for what

83
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,680
will come centuries later in terms of
communism, and most people do. In

84
00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:22,480
terms of historical analysis. I've spent
many classes in undergrad and grad school studying

85
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,360
the history of revolutionary movements and communism. They will go back to Yochim and

86
00:08:26,399 --> 00:08:31,040
Francisco, so you do begin to
get out of the dialectics of this period,

87
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:35,799
the coming rise of communism. Welcome. We get over two hundred nerds

88
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:39,120
on this late Sunday night show,
be sure, and if you would leave

89
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,080
a like in a share, we've
got sixty two likes, two hundred and

90
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:46,759
three people in the in the in
the viewing audience. So if you like

91
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:52,440
this, give me a like.
You're gonna learn a lot tonight because most

92
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,799
people aren't familiar with this period.
And even I had forgot. I mean,

93
00:08:56,919 --> 00:08:58,519
you know, it's fifteen years ago
that I took these notes. Even

94
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:05,720
I forgot in some of this material, all right, two decades after Peter

95
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:13,960
Olivi's death, I didn't write down
when that was. The Council of Vienne

96
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:20,320
is called thirteen twelve. Now,
this is one of the Roman Catholic Frankish

97
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,960
in the sense of France King of
France right councils. It still did not

98
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,679
pin a condemnation on Peter Olivie because
of these many disputes going on at this

99
00:09:30,759 --> 00:09:37,399
time and he never receives the scholastic
academic recognition that many I guess of his

100
00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:41,879
followers had hoped for. Many of
them believed Peter Olive's persecution was actually a

101
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:48,440
sign of the end times. The
next important spiritual Franciscan is Joachim Ifiora.

102
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:58,080
Joakim took his cue after Peter Olive's
death, and he is the Olive's own

103
00:09:58,159 --> 00:10:03,279
thoughts on esca hology appeared to be
unclear. However, Joachim was convinced that

104
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,960
Olivia was speaking prophetically. Yoakim died
under the Pope Innocent the third, and

105
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,600
he spent his life studying the patterns
in history with scriptures. So Joakim had

106
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:22,240
this idea, we can match up
all these patterns in history to his perceived

107
00:10:22,919 --> 00:10:28,039
end time speculation, and that because
of the corruption, now this, you

108
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,039
know, a couple of centuries into
three centuries into the second millennium here after

109
00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:37,000
Christ, this has to be the
end times, right, everybody, Oh,

110
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,080
it's always this, We are in
the end times. And so he

111
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:45,399
had these really kind of arbitrary assumptions
that he would pin onto scripture with the

112
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,879
different patterns of the end times that
he had come up with There were,

113
00:10:50,960 --> 00:11:00,519
however, three popes at this time
that encouraged Joachim in his ideas. Lucius

114
00:11:00,519 --> 00:11:03,120
the second, Clement the third,
and Urban the second all encouraged. If

115
00:11:03,159 --> 00:11:11,240
you are yet his writings received a
condemnation for trinitarian errors at the fourth Lateran

116
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:16,279
Council. His views on history and
the future were not condemned, however,

117
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,720
and so many people would still appeal
to this. I mean, why are

118
00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:22,679
you going to appeal to a trinitarian
heretic to for these for a bunch of

119
00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:26,360
end time speculation. I don't know, but nevertheless many people afterwards will continue

120
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,200
to do that. Even up into
today. People think this guy was relevant.

121
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,200
I mean, if you're bad enough
that the Roman Catholic synods condemn you

122
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:41,519
for Trinityan errors, which themselves are
based on trinitarian errors, then you got

123
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,399
to be pretty bad. And I
think it relates to his You know,

124
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,360
there's the age of the father,
age of the Son, and then the

125
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:52,240
age of the Holy Spirit, which
is ludicrous. His views on history in

126
00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:58,440
the future. I already read that
these views were very influential in the thirteenth

127
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,840
century, so this is a big
debate of the third teenth century. His

128
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,879
idea was this, there is a
coming third Age of the Spirit, and

129
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:11,039
this was going to be exemplified in
the religious orders. So there would be

130
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:16,720
this like big revival of the Spirit
in this final age. It would it

131
00:12:16,759 --> 00:12:22,120
would like purify and cleanse the religious
orders, the Franciscans, Dominicans, all

132
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:26,000
of them the church, and they
in turn would then cleanse the Church.

133
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,879
He attempted to predict a bunch of
this end time stuff. He was like

134
00:12:30,879 --> 00:12:35,240
a Roman Catholic John Hagy type of
character, or Hawl Lindsey predicting the end.

135
00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:46,200
However, he did excuse me,
I misread my nose. He never

136
00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:50,720
attempted to predict the dates, so
I was wrong about that. But he

137
00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:52,440
did say that they were coming in
his lifetime, so he kind of did.

138
00:12:54,279 --> 00:13:01,799
That's a little unclear, Joachim said. The second age, which is

139
00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:07,320
the age of the revelation of the
Sun, was the age of the clerics.

140
00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:09,840
Right. The third age, the
Age of the Spirit, would be

141
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,679
with the rise of the spiritual Franciscans
and monastics in the church to cleanse and

142
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:24,039
purify the church. It's just really
weird ideas sat Saint Benedict, well,

143
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,960
for us, he's a saint.
Excuse mean Benedict is the saint. He

144
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,159
says that the spiritual age began with
Saint Benedict. That Orthodox also recommend or

145
00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:41,559
recognized. But Joachim was unsure that
he personally would not enter into this age,

146
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,639
but it would come before his death, and then the spiritual age would

147
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:54,799
really kick in when certain abbots came
in to control of the Franciscan and Dominican

148
00:13:54,919 --> 00:14:03,759
orders. The instant tutions of the
Franciscan and Dominican orders would receive this endowment

149
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:09,240
of the spirit, and then they
would cleanse the church. Thank you for

150
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,919
those super chantsmen, I was appreciated. I'll get those to those in a

151
00:14:11,919 --> 00:14:18,200
little bit. Franciscans were most influenced
by Yoikim. That the Old Testament provided

152
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,559
prophetic parallels was commonplace in his day. It was common to look back at

153
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:28,279
the Old Testament find patterns for the
periods of the New Testament Church era.

154
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,799
Thus, because there was a parallel
of the Old Testament events, there would

155
00:14:31,799 --> 00:14:37,360
then be some there would be the
same events of the New Testament, and

156
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,399
so it focused on a lot of
these numeric principles. So they would actually

157
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,559
try to find numerological, spiritual,
allegorical meanings to try to prove these things.

158
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:54,440
In twelve sixty. It happened to
be the year twelve sixty for some

159
00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:56,559
reason, in terms of people's calculations, happened to be some kind of a

160
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:03,200
famous date for the supposed end of
the world. Flagelence went wild at this

161
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,759
time in Italy and Germany and the
Alps. Many many of these ecstatic Flagelens

162
00:15:07,799 --> 00:15:15,799
were going nuts, whipping kicking their
own butts, and they focused this movement

163
00:15:15,879 --> 00:15:20,080
focused on this radical asceticism that's not
even asceticism, it's basically self mutilation.

164
00:15:20,759 --> 00:15:26,600
From twelve sixty to twelve ninety.
Then it dies up down. I guess

165
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:33,200
many Franciscan friars speculated that Joachim's prophecies
were related to France of Assisi, so

166
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:39,639
they thought Francis was bringing in this
final spiritual age. Some people even thought

167
00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:43,799
that Francis Assisi was the sixth angel
of the apocalypse. Here we go,

168
00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:48,240
this is the plug in isogesus method
of whatever you think is going on,

169
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:54,519
plug that into the apocalypse, and
that this would herald the new age.

170
00:15:56,879 --> 00:16:03,639
Note of course, that typically speaking, this doesn't characterize Eastern and Byzantine theology.

171
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,679
There may have been periods when people
thought consistently, I mean pretty much

172
00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:12,360
in every century somebody thought we're in
that last days. But these kind of

173
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:18,039
wild dialectical things like this, I
mean, it just it's not present in

174
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:26,200
the Byzantine normative way of living at
this time period. So the two churches

175
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,200
have clearly gone, you know,
in two different directions. And the next

176
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,279
guy, I don't know how to
pronounce this. I don't know. I

177
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:40,799
can't speak Italian. I guess this
guy is Italian or yeah. Guelmia Guiliema

178
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:45,799
was a dude who died in twelve
eighty one in Milan. He was burned

179
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:56,000
by the Inquisition. She so she
was a woman, heretic, a prophetess,

180
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:03,559
and her initiates received her as an
incarnation of the spirit. So notice

181
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:12,559
the bizarre Western trinitarian views have now
given rise to bizarre heterodox notions of the

182
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:18,279
incarnation. Now, the third person
of the Godhead can become incarnate. I

183
00:17:18,279 --> 00:17:22,319
mean, we saw this in the
Montanous Montanus said he was the incarnation of

184
00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:26,559
the Holy Spirit in the early Church. We're getting the same sort of flower.

185
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:27,559
And by the way, I'm not
saying that this kind of heresy was

186
00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:30,680
only in the Latin West. I
mean the Boga mills come out of the

187
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,559
East. They will come out of
the Orthodox East and infiltrate the West.

188
00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:40,839
I'm not trying to oversimplify this,
but I do think a lot of these

189
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,480
movements in this period of the Latin
Church do arise because of that theology and

190
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:56,799
because of Trinitarian mistakes. Now some
of these notes I can't read, so

191
00:17:56,839 --> 00:18:03,920
you'd have to forgive me. There
behind these people believe that a woman from

192
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:15,119
their midst would be the incarnation of
the Holy Spirit. Her name was Manfreda.

193
00:18:17,599 --> 00:18:21,039
I'm not sure what my notes mean
here, So there's a I think

194
00:18:21,079 --> 00:18:23,559
there's a movement. I don't know. I can't tell what im They received

195
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,799
her as Manfreda. I guess they
believe she was the woman. They called

196
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:30,920
her, that she would be the
first woman pope and angelic pope. She

197
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:37,200
would convert the Jews and Muslims and
usher in the New Age. There would

198
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,960
be female cardinals and clergy. With
this new age, there would be four

199
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:47,039
new Gospels this time period. Notice
the heretics when they pop back up,

200
00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:51,440
it's the same stuff. Montanus said
the exact same thing as this. He

201
00:18:51,519 --> 00:19:10,319
had two women prophetesses, and they
were the voice of the spirit. Okay,

202
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:15,920
so my notes about her in there, Oh you know what, my

203
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:21,640
notes are out of order. Dang, I just realized that. Well,

204
00:19:21,759 --> 00:19:25,960
so I'm not going to go back
and start over. We're gonna sep skip

205
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,559
back a little bit because these old
notes. That page is from a little

206
00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:33,119
bit further. So we're going to
skip back, Sorry about that, to

207
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:44,160
ten seventy eight. Robert King,
Robert the Pious. We're looking at Orleans.

208
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:55,079
Stephen the Confessor seduces the Queen of
Constance into his Manichean heresy. So

209
00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:00,559
this is under ten seventy eight under
King Robert the Pious, So the Queen

210
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:12,839
becomes a Manichean and other potential converts
apparently snitched on this king. Anyway,

211
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,640
the core of this belief was a
form of gnosticism. Initiates were relieved of

212
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,839
all their sins and knew all of
the scriptures, and as a result,

213
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:29,279
they would therefore deny the incarnation,
and there were then no sacraments that were

214
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,359
valid. So I apologize. I
jumped ahead with the Joachim section. I

215
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,279
didn't realize it was out of order. I just thought my nose began Franciscans,

216
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,240
but we're going to go back a
couple of centuries prior to Franciscans,

217
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:45,279
these heretics that will begin to kick
off kind of the coming Gnostic and Cathar

218
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:52,960
stuff. It begins with this I
can't read my notes. Sorry, Stephen

219
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:57,000
the Confessor in Orleans. I don't
know who Stephen the Confessor is, but

220
00:20:57,039 --> 00:21:03,319
he seduces a queen. At this
time, the King Robert the Pious apparently

221
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:11,000
captured and interrogated and convicted and burned
some of the original nascent heretics here that

222
00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:19,799
are going to kick all this off. And he burned down a house full

223
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:25,440
of these heretics. It's pretty crazy. One of these guys was Paul the

224
00:21:25,519 --> 00:21:32,519
Monk, who wrote of the tale. No excuse me. Paul the Monk

225
00:21:32,599 --> 00:21:36,799
is who records this at this time, and he says that the heretics were

226
00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:45,319
notorious for having secret orgies. A
couple of years later, maybe a couple

227
00:21:45,279 --> 00:21:52,480
of years earlier, in Milan twelve
eight a d. The castle of Montefort

228
00:21:52,640 --> 00:22:00,079
is suspected of housing heretics by the
Archbishop Aribert of Milan. The leader is

229
00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:07,359
a guy named Gerard, who is
then interrogated for his heretical views. These

230
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:12,599
heretics early on in Milan taught that
had come with the idea that all sexual

231
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:19,519
intercourse was absolutely wrong. To eat
meat, Veganism is always wrong. It

232
00:22:19,599 --> 00:22:22,960
is always wrong to have private property. Remember this, So we're going we've

233
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:29,240
gone back a couple centuries. These
guys are going to influence later pet or

234
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:37,079
heretical spiritual Franciscans. They came up
with a unique heretical definition of the trinity,

235
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,359
where the Father is God, the
Son is a spirit of man,

236
00:22:42,039 --> 00:22:45,400
and the Holy Spirit is the understanding
of all divine matters. So the Holy

237
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:52,000
Spirit is identified with the reason.
Uh, this is reminiscent. They were

238
00:22:52,039 --> 00:22:59,759
reminiscent of Jean Scotus Ergina and they
viewed so they were influenced by him,

239
00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:02,839
I guess, and he wasn't as
bad as them, but I guess they

240
00:23:02,839 --> 00:23:10,119
influenced him. But they viewed they
viewed this world as a demonic inhabitation.

241
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,519
Christ alone is the head pontiff.
There are no popes, and these sect

242
00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:25,119
members would actually kill men, kill
one another before death. So if if

243
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,079
you were going to die, the
sect would come and go ahead and kill

244
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,720
you. So they didn't let anybody
die on their deathbed, that's about ten

245
00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:36,440
twenty eight. Okay, so this
is leading us up to ten seventy eight

246
00:23:36,519 --> 00:23:42,160
with the heretics and mont Orleans,
and you're starting to notice a pattern of

247
00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:48,680
breaks out ten twenty eight, Milan
breaks out ten seventy eight, Orlean.

248
00:23:52,839 --> 00:23:57,920
Next, we have around the same
time period middle of the eleventh century and

249
00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:04,960
Aquitaine the Peace of God heresy.
The Peace of God movement was borrowing from

250
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:14,039
older manniche intexts and just rehashed this
and represented it us in ten twenty five,

251
00:24:14,039 --> 00:24:21,519
a day the bishop Gerrard had discovered
a group of pratical movements within his

252
00:24:21,599 --> 00:24:26,839
jurisdiction and have them imprisoned. These
heretics were interrogated in the church and questioned

253
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,720
the validity of marriage. So notice
what keeps popping up here is for some

254
00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:37,039
reason, in different regions. I
think that's the amazing part of this is

255
00:24:37,079 --> 00:24:41,720
that these different regions in the eleventh
century are popping up with the same heresies.

256
00:24:41,839 --> 00:24:45,880
It's very bizarre. So I don't
know. I don't think any of

257
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:52,240
us know if there's one source from
which it spread across Western Europe, or

258
00:24:52,279 --> 00:25:00,880
if it's just happening to pop up
in these different places. Under Bisho took

259
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:11,839
Garrard in r as they began to
question the New Testament and because they had

260
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:17,759
rehashed Marcionite ideas. They thought that
the New Testament was teaching a God of

261
00:25:17,799 --> 00:25:21,319
love and the Old Testament was teaching
a mean God. They thought that their

262
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:27,599
ascetic practices of rejecting marriage was called
the way of righteousness. Because of the

263
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:36,160
sins and corruption of the clerical priesthood, these groups had all the clerics,

264
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,200
had all made their sacraments invalid,
so now they're rehashing the donuts dis heressing.

265
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:48,200
Thus the heretics reason baptism was unnecessary. Bishop of Garrard argued that understanding

266
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,519
scripture lay with the hierarchy and the
magistrum of the church and not with these

267
00:25:52,599 --> 00:26:04,599
laymen. The I can't read that
note something about the heretics. Oh,

268
00:26:04,599 --> 00:26:10,079
the heretics were invited to a meeting
to defend their views, and the records

269
00:26:10,079 --> 00:26:12,880
of the meetings claimed that the heretics
had been stupefied by the end of the

270
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:18,640
debate. So I don't know if
this continues on or dies out, but

271
00:26:18,599 --> 00:26:23,839
you're starting to see these things pop
up lesser heretics of this time that also

272
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:32,240
popped up the Soissons. Al Debart
was a rural preacher who started walking around

273
00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:37,920
Germany and declared himself a saint and
distributed toenails and hair clippings to all of

274
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:44,440
his followers. So he was creating
his own living, nasty Bunyan relics.

275
00:26:44,599 --> 00:26:51,839
Right, here's my toenail clippings.
Dog. Another weird heretic Theuda. How'd

276
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,920
you like to be named? Theuda? Theota was a prophetess quote unquote who

277
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,039
received visions of the end of the
world. These vision were imminent and they

278
00:27:00,039 --> 00:27:06,039
were coming to Mainz. We noticed
the patterns here. What are the patterns

279
00:27:06,839 --> 00:27:21,200
in time? Speculation? Sex is
evil, Marcianism, gnosticism, lay preachers

280
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:36,400
right, contrasted with legitimate criticisms of
clergy who are corrupt. So now I

281
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:37,759
don't know why I keep going back
in time. I don't know if my

282
00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:44,480
notes were out of order. But
a little bit earlier similar movements, I

283
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,599
guess. In the late ninth century
in the West, Bishop Claudius of Turin

284
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:56,039
he had come up with an a
conoclasm heresy where he said that we should

285
00:27:56,039 --> 00:28:00,279
have no images in Christian worship,
and no cross veneration, there be no

286
00:28:00,319 --> 00:28:04,839
cult of saints, there will be
no more privilege of pilgrimages. And the

287
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:12,640
pope is the successor to the pope
is not a successor Peter. Peter's premiacy

288
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:18,720
died with him. So I think
that the bishop, I think it's saying

289
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,119
the Bishop of Turin had fallen into
this heresy, and that could be because

290
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:27,119
he was influenced by the fact that
the Carolinians rejected and I see it too.

291
00:28:27,799 --> 00:28:30,400
If you don't know that we covered
that with Snack, go listen to

292
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:36,759
the Frankish papacy stream that I do
with Snack. I think that's what my

293
00:28:36,839 --> 00:28:38,599
note is saying. If I get
some of these facts wrong, they'll go

294
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:44,680
too hard on me because I'm trying
to decode college notes that I wrote fifteen

295
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,680
years ago. From the death of
Louis the Pious to the breakdown of the

296
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:55,680
Carolinian Empire, there does not appear
to be a major Latin outbreak of heretical

297
00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:00,279
movements. I'm not saying that the
Carolinians are Orthodox, They're not. What

298
00:29:00,319 --> 00:29:07,559
I'm saying is that from the vantage
point of Latin theology and Catholicism Romanism,

299
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:12,279
there doesn't appear to be a major
outbreak for about one hundred years, so

300
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:18,559
the Carolinians, and then when they
start to decline, you start to see

301
00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:23,640
what this book is talking about as
heresies, meaning these resurgent gnostic movements is

302
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:30,440
what they're talking about. All right, welcome everybody, we've got to go

303
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:36,039
a little crowd here late night nerds
to twenty three to twenty three nerds late

304
00:29:36,079 --> 00:29:37,920
at night. Welcome. Thank you
for those super chats. You can always

305
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,960
superchat via stream labs. In the
show description, I'll get to those in

306
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:48,039
a minute. Death penalty for heretics. Since the Church, of course,

307
00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:56,039
had penetrated all society, we begin
to see the state having penalties for heretical

308
00:29:56,039 --> 00:30:00,319
movements. Now a lot of people
think this is oh, this is so

309
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:06,240
mean and so mean. There's a
reason for this because typically speaking, heretical

310
00:30:06,319 --> 00:30:12,200
movements were not just a theological debate. They also represented social revolution, you

311
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:18,559
see, And that's part of the
reason why the states, the various states

312
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:23,279
would go so hard on heresy is
because it would upset the entire social order.

313
00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:32,440
In the authorities of the time,
both church and state assumed correctly that

314
00:30:32,519 --> 00:30:38,480
heresy and revolution or rebellion went together
because they did so if we begin at

315
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:44,720
this time period, I don't know
if this is ninth or tenth century.

316
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,839
My notes are fail at this point, but right around this time period tenth

317
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:56,000
century nineteenth century. At Orleans,
heretics are first burnt, where the Queen

318
00:30:56,039 --> 00:31:03,960
of Orleans struck out her confessor's i. At Milan the heretics were committed to

319
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,920
the purge excuse me, to the
pire, meaning they were burnt. And

320
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:14,480
at Goslan heretics were hung. So
death penalty for heretics is beginning at this

321
00:31:14,519 --> 00:31:17,720
time period. And by the way, in the East it's not unheard of.

322
00:31:17,759 --> 00:31:22,319
There were the tendency like in the
Justinian the code of Justinian is that

323
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:29,720
the church would make a pronouncement,
hand them over to the emperor, to

324
00:31:29,759 --> 00:31:33,839
the imperium to make a decision,
and sometimes that was banishment, sometimes it

325
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:38,000
was some other kind of fine,
and there were instances of death. So

326
00:31:38,039 --> 00:31:44,000
it's not totally unheard of in the
East for there to be such things.

327
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:59,599
This is a weird one. Uh. Leutard of Vitus, Leutard of Vitus,

328
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:06,440
tarred of Vitus real Gun. I
think this is about tenth century.

329
00:32:06,599 --> 00:32:12,160
Now, this guy thought that bees
had entered his peepee, and because the

330
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,960
bees had flown down his p hole
in a dream, I'm not joking.

331
00:32:15,319 --> 00:32:19,960
In a dream, the bees told
him to leave his wife and go live

332
00:32:20,039 --> 00:32:28,759
in the fields as a hermit.
So he, being impelled by the bee

333
00:32:28,839 --> 00:32:34,680
spirits that entered his peepee, he
broke into the village church, grabbed the

334
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:40,079
crucifix and said there were no need
to pay ties to the church. He

335
00:32:40,319 --> 00:32:45,119
took that crucifix and started preaching in
the fields, and the peasants followed him.

336
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:57,200
Some of what the prophets and apostles
said Leotard proclaimed was useful. However,

337
00:32:58,359 --> 00:33:04,359
it was better to follow leotarda vitas. Leotard, it appeared, had

338
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,519
come in contact with the Boga mills. Now the Boga mills are going to

339
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:15,400
become important here because the Bogamels are
these heretical gnostic ideas that were centered in

340
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:19,240
the East. So they came from
Orthodox lands, perhaps they've been exiled,

341
00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:27,880
and they influenced some of these weirdos
like Leotard of Vitus. Leotard also had

342
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:36,680
donatus ideas in that you were batter
off if you committed a form of suicide.

343
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:42,240
The Donatists were known to fling themselves
off of buildings and fall down wells

344
00:33:42,799 --> 00:33:47,480
to induce their own martyrdom. So
Leotard, like the Donatus, committed suicide

345
00:33:47,519 --> 00:33:53,880
by throwing himself down a well.
He may have had a form of ergotism,

346
00:33:54,400 --> 00:34:00,319
according to leotarda vitas, some kind
of like you know, infection or

347
00:34:02,359 --> 00:34:07,239
std. And this was early tenth
century. Okay, so my notes are

348
00:34:07,239 --> 00:34:13,480
a little out of worder. But
this guy is interesting because the bees possessed

349
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:21,679
his wee weeze. Heresy in the
early tenth century did not last only in

350
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:30,679
the Diocese of Charlon Sir Marney in
Liege. As far as our records show

351
00:34:31,519 --> 00:34:36,840
only those places. Does appear that
more than once in any given sight,

352
00:34:37,559 --> 00:34:44,199
it seems to have been snuffed out
by the state repressing the possibility of heretics

353
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:51,559
preaching openly. Extinguishing heretical circles as
soon as they were discovered did not allow

354
00:34:51,639 --> 00:35:00,119
them to continue or flourish without having
a remnant of proselytizers to continue. The

355
00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:06,039
heresies died out within a few years
or within that generation, as soon as

356
00:35:06,039 --> 00:35:09,679
the publicity was done. The heretics
were done. After the hanging of the

357
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:16,079
accursed from the Upper Lorraine in ten
fifty one. Silence descends upon all heretical

358
00:35:16,119 --> 00:35:22,920
movements for a good while. That's
page thirty one of Malcolm Lambert Twelfth century

359
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,840
Heresies. Now we're moving up to
where I originally thought we had started my

360
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:32,840
notes out of order. I'll try
to put these back in order twelfth century

361
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,559
heresies. Early in the twelfth century, heresies began to reappear. The eleventh

362
00:35:37,559 --> 00:35:44,440
century heretics sought flight from the world
in the church. Twelfth century heretics now

363
00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:51,320
took on a dogmatic issues themselves and
desired changes within the institutional. Latin Roman

364
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:58,480
Catholic Church preaching gets more aggressive.
Heresy arcs use physical force in this period.

365
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,719
One example of this is forgive me
snack. I don't know how to

366
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:12,280
pronounce these things. Allon des letois
Allon des Lettois mobilized a peasant force to

367
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:21,599
rob churches in Brittany. Arnold of
Brescia mobilized republican government, a revolutionary republican

368
00:36:21,639 --> 00:36:30,199
government to hold Rome against the pope. Heretics began to care for social concerns

369
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:35,840
and made the social concerns an intimate
part of their New Gospel. As usual,

370
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:45,280
heretics mobilize the state as a means
to control influence and put bishoprics in

371
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:52,679
the church. As we will see
the same type of pattern for Cicero papism,

372
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,639
and by the way, papal o
crism is just exactly the same thing.

373
00:36:59,519 --> 00:37:04,679
We see the heretical Byzantine emperors to
try to control the church Heterodox iconoclass

374
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:09,679
emperors. We see it in the
West here with the heretics in these cases

375
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:20,159
trying to get heretical kings to change
the church. In the time of the

376
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,280
Reformation, the exact same thing will
happen German princes a lie with Luther to

377
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:35,760
change the church. The incidents prefigured
the investiture controversy to come. For example,

378
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:42,599
the knight Erlin Bald and his brother
Landulf, notary of the church at

379
00:37:42,639 --> 00:37:50,440
Milan. Erlin Bald almost ersurped a
position in the priesthood as a knight.

380
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:57,440
He just took it, or he
almost did all right. Next famous heretic

381
00:37:57,519 --> 00:38:01,239
of the period, Henry the Monk
Henry Mink was a wandering preacher and apostate

382
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:06,000
monk, and he may have been
at some point ordained as a priest.

383
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:15,239
He entered it looks like I said, Kmart, but I can't read my

384
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:22,639
note. He entered something to preach
some city. I can't tell what city

385
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:23,960
my note is, but if you
look up Henry the monkham sure you can

386
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:30,320
find it. He entered the city
in eleven sixteen and proceeded by two of

387
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:37,199
his disciples carrying a cross and an
iron tipped staff. Proceed he walked in

388
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,119
bearded, barefoot, and wearing poor
clothing, so he had like an entourage

389
00:38:40,199 --> 00:38:47,719
basically of weirdos in front of them, carrying in a procession. At first,

390
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,880
he only condemned the sins of the
clergy, and so he tried to

391
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:58,280
make peace with whatever this city is. I can't tell what my notes say.

392
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:05,440
And he came with an odd dogma
that the prostitutes in the city needed

393
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:15,000
to burn their hair and their clothes
if they stood nude before all poor I

394
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,519
can't read what my nose is of
it. Anyway, they're supposed to marry

395
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:21,320
other people. So he thought he
could like get them all to shave their

396
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,599
head and stand nude, and then
he could like find husbands and wives.

397
00:39:25,119 --> 00:39:28,360
I guess he had a kind of
a good idea here, but was a

398
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,480
little bit crazy here, however,
Henry the Monk was an anti rat became

399
00:39:32,519 --> 00:39:37,840
a radical anti cleric. He started
deciding that there was no need for any

400
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:45,599
kind of sacraments or priesthood. Only
the individual was responsible to God. We'll

401
00:39:45,599 --> 00:39:50,880
hear this in the Reformation, and
there was no such a thing as original

402
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,800
sin. And in fact, the
Pelagians were correct. It was not necessary

403
00:39:54,840 --> 00:40:00,599
at all to baptized infants. So
he crossed up. Infant baptism was a

404
00:40:00,639 --> 00:40:06,280
decision of an individual at an adult
age. They're no longer needed to be

405
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,039
any prayers for the dead or any
Eucharist. Henry the Monk is a Baptist.

406
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:19,199
Henry Baptist monk in uh, I
don't know what century eleven sixteen,

407
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,519
here's your first So, by the
way, if you want to play the

408
00:40:21,559 --> 00:40:23,920
landmark Baptist game and trace everything back
here, you could probably do it with

409
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,880
the Henry the Monk. Of course, you don't have to worry about actual

410
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,400
you know, doctrines or you know, you can be anti Trinitarian or whatever.

411
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:37,280
But at least you can find a
guy who had believers baptism. There's

412
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,679
not a lineas really, but I
mean, you could find these kind of

413
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:47,559
weirdos here and there. Peter of
Brius, or Peter Debris Debreux, he

414
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:53,199
is our our major source for this
heretic. Peter is another Peter the Venerable.

415
00:40:55,039 --> 00:41:00,480
This is the beginning of the Petro
Brucians. The Petro Brucians will be

416
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:06,559
pre Baptists. Baptists will say,
we like the Petro Brucians. So here

417
00:41:06,599 --> 00:41:09,800
here's where we start to get Baptist
stuff, not literally, but you know

418
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:15,199
what I mean. But Peter the
Venerable, the the the writer, the

419
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:22,159
chronicler, wrote the contra Petrobrusians.
So he wrote a treatise against these heretics.

420
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,880
He says that this Henry the Monk
guy was one of the early founders

421
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:32,920
of the Petribution sect. They probably
only had similar tendencies, and Peter might

422
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:37,719
not have actually been a member,
but regardless of the same ideas. They

423
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,559
didn't believe in having church buildings.
They didn't believe in church uh, prayers

424
00:41:40,639 --> 00:41:45,400
for the dead, no masses or
eucharists uh. In terms of the Petributions,

425
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:53,199
Peter Debrew was doctrinally even further than
Henry. Peter said the Old Testament

426
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:58,880
was full of evil, mean stuff, and that it was pagan to venerate

427
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:05,639
the cross. Here Marcianism, iconoclasm, right back, right back where we

428
00:42:05,639 --> 00:42:17,079
were all right, Enter our first
Roman Catholic doctor of the church during this

429
00:42:17,199 --> 00:42:24,119
period, to fight with these guys, Bernard of Claireva. Of course you

430
00:42:24,159 --> 00:42:29,280
probably are familiar with Barnard. I've
got Bernard's treatises over here on my shelf.

431
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:34,559
Bernard of Clavo, famous Roman Catholic
mystic, fought against Henry the Monk.

432
00:42:35,519 --> 00:42:45,360
He wrote against him at Toulouse and
successfully defeated Henry in his claims on

433
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:51,400
the Populace in the year eleven forty. In the eleven forties, so Bernard

434
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:57,719
had a lot of success fighting against
this heretic reconvinced the crowd to go back

435
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:06,000
with him. The church, according
to Peter Debrew, the Petributions was a

436
00:43:06,079 --> 00:43:09,719
petro Brushians was a spiritual congregation just
of the faithful. So here we go

437
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:15,199
the invisible church heresy of the Calvinists
and the Protestants. Here it is with

438
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:20,000
this guy, Oh, you dirty
institutional church people. We're better than you.

439
00:43:20,119 --> 00:43:23,920
We're the pure people. You're all
corrupt, and so we're the true

440
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:38,880
spiritual congregation. The Henritians, the
Henricians, the followers of Henry, not

441
00:43:39,679 --> 00:43:45,639
exactly the same as the Petributions.
The Henritians, in agreement rejected all outward

442
00:43:45,679 --> 00:43:50,559
forms of worship, so here they
have a noostic iconiclasm the Petributions. Also,

443
00:43:51,159 --> 00:43:54,679
the petro Brucians rejected the Old Testament
explicitly, and all the church fathers,

444
00:43:55,119 --> 00:44:00,159
every church tradition, anything like infant
Baptist or infant can Union. They

445
00:44:00,199 --> 00:44:07,480
rejected a sacrificial Eucharist, singing in
the church, prayers for the dead,

446
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:16,519
any and they said their simple method
of proving this was a literal appeal to

447
00:44:16,559 --> 00:44:22,559
the Gospels, by which they meant
they just whatever they read and what they

448
00:44:22,599 --> 00:44:27,719
thought was the immediate meaning disproved all
this other stuff. Jesus didn't have prayers

449
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,760
for the dead, Jesus didn't have
a church, Jesus doesn't mention church,

450
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:37,400
but just really low iq peasant type
stuff. Basically, however, they oddly

451
00:44:37,039 --> 00:44:44,559
believed that the Eucharist was a transformation, but it had only happened once at

452
00:44:44,559 --> 00:44:50,760
the Last Supper. Okay, whatever
did, Christ had no intention of anyone

453
00:44:51,000 --> 00:45:00,320
continuing the Eucharist after after this period, and so ironically no one should do

454
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:05,639
the Lord's Supper. So this actually
anticipates uh the Salvation Army heresy in general

455
00:45:05,679 --> 00:45:12,000
booth if you didn't know, the
Budhists Bouthhism of the Salvation Army believe that

456
00:45:12,039 --> 00:45:17,559
you should not have baptism or the
Lord's Supper weird. So Peter Debru acts

457
00:45:17,559 --> 00:45:23,719
as a kind of heretic heretical John
the Baptist. This is important because Peter

458
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:30,960
Debrew is the John the Baptist that
will prepare the way for the great heretics

459
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:36,599
of the Middle Ages. The Cathari
Catharie will be probably the most important,

460
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:45,960
outright crazy heretical and most powerful heretical
movement of this period. U tan Chalm

461
00:45:46,039 --> 00:45:51,320
of Antwerp. That's a cool name, psych how'd you like to be named?

462
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:58,719
Tan Chalm of Antwerp rejected all church
authorities. He popped up and gathered

463
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:05,159
a crowd of followers by preaching only
to the pedicants, and totally rejected any

464
00:46:05,199 --> 00:46:08,440
need for an institutional church. The
institutional church was a brothel the horror of

465
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:16,239
revelation, and Tanchum said he himself
was God. He entered into a symbolic

466
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:23,199
marriage with a statue of Mary in
a bizarre ceremony, and also during this

467
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:28,360
time people will prepare the way for
the rise of Gnosticism. I think we

468
00:46:28,519 --> 00:46:32,159
mentioned Arnold de Brescia, but Arnold
A Brescia of the eleven thirties studied under

469
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:43,159
Peter Abbalard. However, Bernard of
Claraveau had Arnold A Brescia condemned. I

470
00:46:43,159 --> 00:46:50,639
think Bernard has Peter Ablard condemned.
But at the council sins An eleven forty.

471
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:55,480
But Arnold befriends Guy, a guy
named Guy who was the papal legate

472
00:46:55,519 --> 00:47:01,639
to Bohemia. Pope Eugenius the third
invited him to Row to keep watch over

473
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:07,840
him. But the Pope's involvement in
all of these temporal affairs agitated Arnold A

474
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:13,719
Brescia. Arnold decided that the papacy
was corrupt and too involved in temporal politics,

475
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,280
and so he gathered support from Roman
citizens and expelled Okay, this is

476
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:22,719
the guy who had had the republican
revolution. He gathers together Roman citizens and

477
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:30,599
expels the pope and taught that the
emperor should receive the crown from the people

478
00:47:30,639 --> 00:47:38,320
and not the pope, because that
would be republican, not people. But

479
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:43,000
this is also interesting because this is
where we're starting to see the rise of

480
00:47:43,039 --> 00:47:52,559
republicanism. You see many of these
gnostic sects will favor communal living Italian republic,

481
00:47:53,480 --> 00:48:00,760
Renaissance republic, Plato republic, Plato
communism in the republic. You see

482
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:07,360
the tendency here that what pops up
here. Arnold's theology led him to an

483
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:15,039
extreme democratic view of politics. Thus
there was no real hierarchy, and Pope

484
00:48:15,079 --> 00:48:20,159
Hadrian the second hunted down Arnold a
Bricia and had him killed. Remember a

485
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:24,719
D'tois that we mentioned earlier. Aon
Dutois had gained a peasant following, and

486
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:30,480
through preaching to all these peasants,
had convinced them to oppose all externals in

487
00:48:30,519 --> 00:48:37,440
religion, all buildings, all statues, images icons. He eventually declaimed proclaimed

488
00:48:37,519 --> 00:48:42,559
himself the son of God, and
had a scepter formed in the shape of

489
00:48:42,599 --> 00:48:49,920
a why, and called and deemed
his followers apostles, prophets, and angels.

490
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:59,159
The why meant that two thirds belonged
to God and one third belonged to

491
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,960
Satan. So he would like carry
the staff around and be like, these

492
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,599
are the two thirds that belonged to
God and the rest. Because of the

493
00:49:06,639 --> 00:49:09,199
Texan revelation that you know, one
third fell one third of the angels.

494
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:16,519
The Council of Rhymes heard all of
his revelations and claims, and they all

495
00:49:16,599 --> 00:49:21,519
laughed. We mentioned, by the
way, counts of Rhymes that comes.

496
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,920
I don't there there may have been
more than one Council Rhyme, but it's

497
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:31,159
mentioned in Denzinger is one of the
early ones that explicitly teaches absolutely mind simplicity

498
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:37,239
in the radical sense, which is
in Denzinger. By the way, many

499
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:45,360
of the theologians and scholars present at
the Council of Rhymes that laughed at a

500
00:49:45,679 --> 00:49:51,920
Datois actually just said he was insane. But you notice that what's interesting is

501
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:58,800
that the enthusiasts, these these insane
religious characters find it. It seems to

502
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:00,960
be pretty easy to go out out
and just kind of gather and create a

503
00:50:01,039 --> 00:50:09,920
cult, right, But you could
easily get burnt for doing this. Right.

504
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:19,639
So first outbreak of the major heretics
that are going to be like a

505
00:50:19,639 --> 00:50:22,559
movement, right, we're going to
get to the Cathars. So all of

506
00:50:22,599 --> 00:50:28,400
this has prepped for the real heretics
of this period. The Catharie, the

507
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:35,360
perfect, the pure, some connection
with Eastern Boga Mills of Byzantium and the

508
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:40,679
Balkans had taken place. Nobody exactly
knows. According to Lambert, how the

509
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:46,119
Bogamill heretics of Byzantium, who were
Gnostics who had gone into the Balkans had

510
00:50:46,199 --> 00:50:53,280
some kind of contact with these people
in Western Europe. Bernardo Clavo said that

511
00:50:53,320 --> 00:51:00,920
the Kathari had been influenced by three
heresies, the Manichean, the Sibelians,

512
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:05,880
and the Arians. Right now,
Manichaeans are the duellists that taught that matter

513
00:51:06,039 --> 00:51:09,719
was evil and it was in some
sort of eternal battle with light, light

514
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:16,360
versus matter or whatever. As we
know from my recent lecture, the Sibelians

515
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:20,960
were modalists. They taught that father, son, and Spirit were just modes

516
00:51:21,039 --> 00:51:23,920
of God, not three distinct persons. And of course we all know that

517
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:30,960
Arians denied the full deity of the
Sun. The first outbreak of the Cathari

518
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:38,920
Rhineland eleven forty three, a provost
tells Bernard of Clervaux that a group of

519
00:51:39,039 --> 00:51:50,920
heretics had organized their own bishopric and
Cologne. The provosts told Bernard that they

520
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:57,119
held to a gnostic no meat,
that vegan view, and they had a

521
00:51:57,559 --> 00:52:02,480
laying on a hand ceremony that included
secret rights, secret society rights basically,

522
00:52:04,559 --> 00:52:07,960
and then ultimately they decided that marriage
was false. Now, remember, if

523
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:13,760
you read John of Damascus's heresiology,
which we mentioned many times, Apolitists many

524
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:20,639
other church fathers talk about in their
heresiologies began groups, the Ebionites, the

525
00:52:20,639 --> 00:52:28,320
Incretites, the Pythagoreans, all mentioned
by John Damascus as vegan heretics. What's

526
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:37,000
popping up again here, vegan heretics
connected to their gnosticism. Now, why

527
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:42,599
would there be a connection between veganism
and gnoscissism. Why, it's quite easy.

528
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,679
Let me explain to you. If
you don't believe in Genesis, or

529
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:52,719
if you believe that Genesis is an
evil god, what does the evil god

530
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:59,079
of Genesis tell Noah you can eat
meat? What did he tell Adam and

531
00:52:59,079 --> 00:53:01,440
Eve you can have marriage? So
if the Old Testament God is the evil,

532
00:53:01,519 --> 00:53:06,559
mean God, and he's the one
that said eat meat and get married,

533
00:53:07,599 --> 00:53:15,519
thus the reasoning of the Gnostics and
the cathari There you go. But

534
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,760
now, by the way, I
had a great video that I did on

535
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:27,199
the movie I Had The Devil,
which has kind of a history. It's

536
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:35,960
like Eyes Watch Shut thirty years before
Eywatch Shut. It has hash Donald Pleasance

537
00:53:36,079 --> 00:53:45,599
as the gnostic Luciferian priest, literally
a Luciferian priest, and it's it's what's

538
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:50,440
Roman Polanski. Sharon Tate as her
it's her first role, and she plays

539
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:57,559
a witch, a Luciferian witch,
and basically there's this ancient gnostic pagan cult

540
00:53:58,599 --> 00:54:04,960
that owns the entire city and castle
out in France somewhere. Great movie.

541
00:54:05,639 --> 00:54:09,920
If you're looking for an older esoteric
Eyes Watch Shut Colt movie, go watch

542
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:15,840
Eye of the Devil. Of course, once that I put that, that

543
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,119
was one of my best videos,
one hundred thousand views right away, and

544
00:54:19,199 --> 00:54:24,760
of course it gets deleted taken down. It was awesome. I still have

545
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:30,039
the video, by the way,
but I was drawing from all of this

546
00:54:30,199 --> 00:54:35,960
research that I've done on the kathari
And by the way, I know that

547
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,840
the kathar Eye in the actual history
didn't do human sacrifice, but I'm not

548
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:44,960
convinced that that's the Kathariye story.
I'm not convinced that they weren't doing that.

549
00:54:45,599 --> 00:54:46,480
We don't know what all they were
up to. I mean, they're

550
00:54:46,519 --> 00:54:52,760
a secret society. They invent a
counter hierarchy. That's what's weird about this

551
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:58,039
group is that they don't they don't
do like the peasant thing like most of

552
00:54:58,079 --> 00:55:00,519
the weirdos at this time period of
you know, the bees flying in their

553
00:55:00,519 --> 00:55:07,320
pepe and then their runner through the
fields. These guys actually set up an

554
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:14,280
altered church, like a counter church. Interesting. Now, let's get back

555
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:19,280
to the Bogomils. So they are
the ones that influence the cathari We don't

556
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:23,320
exactly know how, but in the
tenth century the Boga mills were present in

557
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:30,400
Bulgarian villages. Some Bulgarian village priest
had come up with an idea of dualism,

558
00:55:31,039 --> 00:55:37,280
a right good force, good God
versus evil force evil God. This

559
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:43,920
dualistic notion had spread to Constantinople.
They came to the conclusion that everything that

560
00:55:44,039 --> 00:55:51,480
is physically perceived or seen is itself
evil. It's identified with evil. Satan

561
00:55:51,639 --> 00:55:59,480
is the one who created the flesh
itself. The initiates of this sect therefore

562
00:55:59,559 --> 00:56:05,119
believed a severe asceticism to punish the
flesh. Okay, that's all the sort

563
00:56:05,159 --> 00:56:09,239
of the basics that Lambert mentions of
the Boggabills. Now, the heretics over

564
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:17,760
in Cologne had claimed that theirs alone, this new rising Cathari movement, theirs

565
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:24,000
alone is the true church. The
heretics thought that the life of apostolic poverty

566
00:56:24,039 --> 00:56:31,480
itself is what gave them the moral
high ground over the institutional papal succession Church

567
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,320
Cathari. Now, some of the
Colone heretics said that no priests of the

568
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:45,639
Church or valid or are validly ordained, For they said, the apostolic office

569
00:56:45,679 --> 00:56:51,519
has been corrupted through the involvement in
secular affairs. He who sits in the

570
00:56:51,559 --> 00:56:57,719
chair of Peter therefore lost Peter's power
to ordain, which was bestowed upon Peter

571
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:01,639
himself. Because the Apostolics he does
not have this power. The archbishops and

572
00:57:01,679 --> 00:57:08,880
bishops who led worldly lodge within the
Church could not therefore receive from Peter the

573
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:15,199
power to ordain anyone. Hence they
just rehashed donatism. Infant baptism therefore was

574
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:22,400
not only not necessary, it wasn't
biblical. There was no revelation about the

575
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,280
afterlife and therefore no purgatory. There
was no need for any kind of penance,

576
00:57:28,159 --> 00:57:36,079
and Egbert the benedicting abbot of Schoenau. Eventually it was influenced by some

577
00:57:36,119 --> 00:57:43,039
of these heretics and found, excuse
me, he went in to study with

578
00:57:43,119 --> 00:57:45,719
these heretics to see what they were
saying, and found out that some of

579
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:52,440
them believed in a docetic christology right
dosiatism, that Jesus wasn't really human,

580
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:58,800
his death was a phantasm et cetera. Some of them had imbibed the Platonic

581
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:05,880
Platonic doctrine of the transmigration of souls
and the creation of matter in this world

582
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:07,639
by an evil God. Are you
noticing a pattern here? It's always the

583
00:58:07,719 --> 00:58:14,280
same thing, Marcianism, gnosticism,
evil, Old Testament God. Always it's

584
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,599
the same that never fails. Now, why would why aren't the heretics more

585
00:58:17,599 --> 00:58:21,360
creative every now and then they get
created would come up with something a little

586
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:29,320
weird. But why do they always
tend to the same ideas because it's the

587
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:35,400
same spirit motivating them obviously, I
mean, it's like they don't even know

588
00:58:35,559 --> 00:58:45,440
that the exact same heresy existed.
In the second century, the Aeronaeus wrote

589
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:52,639
against hopefully I'm not talking into it. We got two hundred and sixty six

590
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:57,000
welcome, almost up to three hundred
in this late night stream. Welcome everybody

591
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:00,239
if you want to support we got
a couple of fat superchats there. I

592
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:06,480
appreciate that, but glad to see
everybody here tonight. You can do your

593
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:12,440
super chats via stream labs and I
will come to those here in a minute.

594
00:59:12,719 --> 00:59:15,199
This is a little slow going.
My notes are hard to read,

595
00:59:15,239 --> 00:59:24,800
but hopefully this is fun and weird
information. So Eckbert the Benedictine is milling

596
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:30,719
about amongst these guys. He's infiltrated
the weirdos and he has found out that

597
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:39,559
they've got these gnostic views. Ecbert
believed the heresy to have an international character.

598
00:59:39,719 --> 00:59:45,719
This is interesting, so it's almost
like he's conspiracy theorizing that maybe there

599
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:54,639
is an international movement. I think
that's what. My notes are a little

600
00:59:55,960 --> 01:00:00,440
smeared, so it's kind of hard
for me to see see that spilled coffee

601
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:05,800
on this, So some of the
words are smeared. But he says in

602
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:14,440
Flanders they were called the aphiles,
in France, the taxallant, the weavers.

603
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:21,519
In Germany they were called the pure
ones. And so oh, I

604
01:00:21,559 --> 01:00:25,480
see so uh, so Egbert,
because of this network of this that has

605
01:00:25,559 --> 01:00:31,280
popped up, of these heretics in
these different cities and countries with the same

606
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:36,840
names and the same ideas. He's
beginning to suspect that this is a larger

607
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:42,039
movement. I see, so Egbert, the Benedictine starts to preach sermons against

608
01:00:42,039 --> 01:00:53,280
the heretics. They were I can't
read what that says, but they they.

609
01:00:54,639 --> 01:01:01,920
Oh. Egbert attempted to refute them
by exposing them to the dogmatic assumptions

610
01:01:02,119 --> 01:01:08,039
and bases upon which the entire heresy
arrested. Egbert referred to much of their

611
01:01:08,119 --> 01:01:13,800
views as simply a repeat of Manicheanism, and therefore Manicheanism was refuted, so

612
01:01:14,039 --> 01:01:17,119
was their entire heresy. All right, thank you for those super chats.

613
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:23,079
In eleven sixty five a conference was
held a local synod at our conference I

614
01:01:23,079 --> 01:01:30,079
don't know if sent on or compet
at Lombert's castle outside of Alba in southern

615
01:01:30,159 --> 01:01:36,000
France. The Kathari there had a
formidable standing. Local heretical leaders, who

616
01:01:36,039 --> 01:01:42,440
were known as the good Men,
debated openly their opponents before a distinguished gathering

617
01:01:42,519 --> 01:01:51,599
of scholars, nobles, heretics,
priests, etc. The institutional Roman Catholics

618
01:01:51,719 --> 01:02:00,719
had to restrict the citations to proof
texts from the New Testament, since the

619
01:02:00,719 --> 01:02:06,159
heretics would only accept any kind of
argument approved from the New Testament, so

620
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:08,599
which I guess makes sense. That's
where they win. The battleground was the

621
01:02:08,639 --> 01:02:15,119
New Testament. These early kathara I
argued that the true bishops and kings must

622
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:22,400
live as Saint Paul described, or
they are not valid at all. The

623
01:02:23,239 --> 01:02:30,800
normative Roman Catholic the institutional Roman Catholics, tried to get them to debate anything

624
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:35,280
about dogmatic issues like the Trinity or
whatever, but the cathari would only talk

625
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:40,119
about the moral precepts. They refused
to swear to any oaths. Again,

626
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:45,280
a lot of this as Baptists.
You'll see that's repeated by it later Baptists.

627
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:51,960
And when the Roman Catholics achieved the
upper hand in the debate, the

628
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:58,039
heretics would feign or pretend that they
were Orthodox. However, they would not

629
01:02:58,079 --> 01:03:00,679
take any oaths. So they would
just like change the world and oh,

630
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:02,719
okay, we'll find we believe that, but they would just reinterpret it to

631
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:12,119
mean something else. Eleven sixty seven, in the village of Saint Felix,

632
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:22,719
the International and International Conference of Duellists
takes place, and this allows for the

633
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:28,800
achievement of a better structure for Catharism. So they actually have this kind of

634
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:37,320
their own little synod here at a
village, and this aids the growth of

635
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:45,360
Catherism the Kathari at this fake Cathari
council made up plans to send out missionaries,

636
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:51,119
and then they did. They send
out missionaries. Cathari reached Lombardy and

637
01:03:51,239 --> 01:03:58,360
established a hold there before eleven sixty
seven. By sending missionaries from northern France.

638
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:03,599
The movements I think lay in its
ethical appeal to peasants and layfolk.

639
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:18,199
They preached poverty, self sacrifice and
strict chastity come and this converted people more

640
01:04:18,239 --> 01:04:25,079
easily than when they revealed their false
doctrines. Interesting, so they did this

641
01:04:25,159 --> 01:04:30,760
kind of classic cult trick where you
do all this do goodery stuff and talk

642
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:32,639
about how do oh look how or
goody goody, and then lay oh,

643
01:04:32,679 --> 01:04:36,480
but by the way, we secretly
teach blah blah blah crazy stuff. Right,

644
01:04:36,599 --> 01:04:42,679
this is a classic cult tactic.
So within roughly two decades from the

645
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:48,480
first appearance of the Boga mills at
Cologne, the Cathari had disseminated themselves from

646
01:04:48,559 --> 01:04:57,440
Rome to the Pyrene to to the
Italian Peninsula. So the cathari had quite

647
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:00,559
a bit of success. Well,
Denzil. Now again keep in mind what

648
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:12,079
is allowing the proliferation of this stupid
heresy the corruption of the existing institutional church.

649
01:05:12,159 --> 01:05:17,639
Of course, if the institutional church
were not so ridiculously corrupt, which

650
01:05:17,679 --> 01:05:23,960
obviously was, and even the saints
quote unquote in the Romancolic Church of this

651
01:05:24,079 --> 01:05:29,159
time would admit all that they would
preach against the corruption. You see that

652
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:36,559
heresy and schism and sins such as
that becomes scourges for the existing clergy an

653
01:05:36,639 --> 01:05:44,800
existing church. Heresy is a scourge
and a punishment, a tastisement from God

654
01:05:45,039 --> 01:05:54,599
on the church. Valdai Waldo.
Here comes the next of the favorites of

655
01:05:54,639 --> 01:06:01,880
the Baptists, the Waldensians. The
Waldensians are a late health century can't read

656
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:15,360
my note movement. Their focus was
the institutional Church's hierarchy. Their movements spread

657
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:21,760
to Italy at the time of Poe
Lucius the Third in Italy and Languadoc heretics

658
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:29,360
had a had eventually achieved total freedom, So the laws of those states had

659
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:34,039
then had now allowed free reign of
these guys, the Waldensians. Excuse me,

660
01:06:34,039 --> 01:06:40,480
Peter Waldo, I think it's Peter
Walder, But Waldo, where's Waldo.

661
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:54,239
Waldo decided, as a rich businessman
that he would commit to poverty.

662
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:57,400
There we go, That's why he
was able. So he does this big

663
01:06:57,599 --> 01:06:59,960
thing where oh, I'm going to
give away all my business. Well,

664
01:07:00,159 --> 01:07:05,840
I'm going to become poor. He
then translates these scriptures into the vernacular and

665
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:15,039
begins translating the Church fathers. He
desired to become a wandering preacher, and

666
01:07:15,079 --> 01:07:24,159
the initial conflict became his dispute with
local church leaders over orders or the right

667
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:29,480
to go and publicly preach. The
institutional church appealed to the pope and sent

668
01:07:29,559 --> 01:07:32,920
representatives to the Third Latter in Sonata
in eleven seventy nine. They were found

669
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:40,800
to be inadequate to preach, and
Pope Alexander the Third welcomed their evangelical councils

670
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:48,119
but told them not to preach the
Gospel or doctrine theology publicly. Waldo was

671
01:07:48,159 --> 01:07:55,159
willing to accept Orthodox statements and be
submissive. However, eventually in time he

672
01:07:55,199 --> 01:07:59,800
fell into schism and began preaching because
he felt cold to do it by reading

673
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,599
scripture. Now, notice, in
the Orthodox East, this is not a

674
01:08:03,599 --> 01:08:10,800
problem because the Orthodox East has always
held to vernacular scripture. So even though

675
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:16,039
this guy probably isn't exactly right and
what he's doing, at least does have

676
01:08:16,119 --> 01:08:24,279
a correct idea that why are we
not putting the the liturgy into the language

677
01:08:24,319 --> 01:08:28,640
of the people. The Church has
always put the liturgy into the language of

678
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:32,960
the people. The entire Orthodox East
does this. This is stupid. The

679
01:08:33,079 --> 01:08:41,920
Humiliati new movement here at the same
time in Italy a movement of radical radicals

680
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:47,359
called the Humiliati. It's like the
opposite of the Illuminati. The Humiliati in

681
01:08:47,359 --> 01:08:54,960
northern Italy believed in the evangelical councils
by that that just means to renounce the

682
01:08:55,079 --> 01:08:59,600
monastic type of valves, right to
renounce ownership, marriage, these kinds of

683
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,880
things, poverty, chastity, obedience, they were, But they decided that

684
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:10,920
also all oaths should be rejected.
They desired to preach, and once again

685
01:09:11,079 --> 01:09:15,560
Alexander the third denied the request of
these people. However, they decided again

686
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:19,079
that they were they were called to
preach directly by God, and so they

687
01:09:19,079 --> 01:09:26,560
fell under the papal Ban. The
Pope Lucius the third writes a bull called

688
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:34,000
ad Ablindam in the eleven eighties,
and it calls for cooperation with Emperor Frederick

689
01:09:34,079 --> 01:09:42,279
Barbosa in the first attempt to deal
with these heresies on an international scale.

690
01:09:42,319 --> 01:09:46,359
So by now all these different little
crazy groups had gotten so annoying and had

691
01:09:46,399 --> 01:09:50,920
popped up everywhere. It's now called
the attention of Rome. So Lucius the

692
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,800
third he said, all right,
we got to do something, and he

693
01:09:53,920 --> 01:10:00,680
calls for aid of the Emperor.
Now this is unfortunately there's a big smudge

694
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:02,039
here of coffee, and some of
these notes I can't see, so I'll

695
01:10:02,079 --> 01:10:06,279
try to make it out as best
I can. So they The way that

696
01:10:06,399 --> 01:10:13,720
decided to deal with the heretics was
first to send out train theologians to go

697
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:28,159
and visit the parish parishes and re
educate and teach, basically catechize the people.

698
01:10:30,159 --> 01:10:35,840
People that were recalcultrant and would not
listen after periods of catechistus or preaching

699
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:42,680
from different religious orders and monks would
then be handed over to the state to

700
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:50,039
see to receive some form of state
punishment. This proved difficult in the places

701
01:10:50,079 --> 01:10:57,760
where the state leaders had already begun
tolerating heresy. The paper bull was still

702
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:01,960
sent out and propagated as an ideal, and so interrogation was to be done

703
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:10,600
at this time by some experienced trained
theologian. The bull reorganized the episcopal something

704
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:16,960
I can't read it, but it
offered no solution to the recognition and classification

705
01:11:17,039 --> 01:11:23,760
of heresy. Though many were named
and anathematized, it didn't offer a way

706
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:28,760
to solve it. The papal bull
anathematized the Paterines, the cathari, the

707
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:33,640
Humiliaate, and the Arnoldists. The
only distinction made for heretics was those who

708
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:44,800
preached licit and illicit and those who
openly preached heresy. Next movement, another

709
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:50,439
one pops up, the Speronists.
A layman by the name of in Lombardy

710
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:56,319
by the name of Speroni was a
jurist. Between eleven seventy seven and eleven

711
01:11:56,359 --> 01:12:02,359
eighty five, he fomented a movement
against the Church lasted about fifty years.

712
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:08,560
Sparoni came up with some extreme tenants. Number one the rejection of all in

713
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:13,319
every church authority. Number two,
there is no priesthood. Number three,

714
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:17,960
Baptism and the Eucharis were stupid inventions
of the church. Number four, all

715
01:12:18,199 --> 01:12:30,039
formal acts of worship were de facto
idolatrous since the since all followers of Speroni

716
01:12:30,199 --> 01:12:39,319
had already achieved a perfect union with
the Word, so notice antinomianism radical justification

717
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:43,159
by belief of alone is already beginning
to pop up. They held to an

718
01:12:43,239 --> 01:12:47,640
interior baptism of the Spirit that wasn't
in any way necessary in terms of water

719
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:53,680
baptism. The only thing that mattered
was the inner sanctification of the believer by

720
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:57,880
the Spirit, and so therefore there
was no original sin, and all men

721
01:12:58,039 --> 01:13:00,800
were already predestined or elect no matter
what they did. So here it comes

722
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:13,000
a radical predestinarianism. The elect the
elect always remained elect no matter what they

723
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,800
did. There could never be any
change to that. So this was weird

724
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:21,920
because they were Palladians, but they
had a strict double predestination view. The

725
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:39,159
Sparonist Sparonimi Sparoni twelve six Dominican Dominic
Dominicans. You've probably heard of them.

726
01:13:39,199 --> 01:13:49,680
Thomas Aquinas Dominic and his prior Diego
of Ossona decide to live in poverty like

727
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:57,920
the cathari So I will we'll give
Dominics some credit here because rather than trying

728
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:04,000
to force or persuade the Catharie with
burning up the steak. He's like,

729
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:08,399
all right, I'm gonna go live
like these guys so that they don't have

730
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:15,279
any moral bogus moral claim high ground. So he pledges poverty, cha chasting,

731
01:14:15,279 --> 01:14:23,199
and obedience and establishes a house in
Provil for women and girls that were

732
01:14:23,239 --> 01:14:28,479
rescued from the crazy Cathori. In
twelve sixteen or twelve seventeen, he received

733
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:32,359
recognition from Pope Innocent the Third,
and he is, you know, obviously

734
01:14:32,399 --> 01:14:36,199
this is where the Dominican friars come
from. The Dominicans eventually grow into an

735
01:14:36,199 --> 01:14:44,199
international order and well international in the
West, and they become known for debating

736
01:14:44,239 --> 01:14:49,039
and confronting heretics. They are of
course the most philosophical and theological, eventually

737
01:14:49,359 --> 01:14:57,000
producing Aquinas et cetera. Their task
was the confutation and reputation of Heresing.

738
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:06,479
Five years earlier, Francis of a
Cci had been something I can't read my

739
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:17,279
notes there, but Francis apparently had
thought that a pro creation emphasis on creation

740
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:25,439
worldview would perhaps be the answer to
the Catharized gnosticism. So if you know

741
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:29,880
about you know Francis's of you know, brothers Moon, Sister, Sister,

742
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:34,560
moon brother's son or whatever. It's
a reaction to, you know, these

743
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:44,199
kinds of extremes. Later in four
and Pope Innocent the Third the active I

744
01:15:44,239 --> 01:15:50,399
can't read my note. Their participation
of Innocent the Third left a body of

745
01:15:50,520 --> 01:16:01,279
case law and precedent for the litigation
and debate to deal with. In other

746
01:16:01,279 --> 01:16:08,560
words, basically litigation case all canon
law under Innocent the Third allowed set a

747
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:11,119
good press and for how to deal
with heretics. Is what my note is

748
01:16:11,279 --> 01:16:15,000
trying to say. In twelve oh
seven, Innocent the Third decrees that all

749
01:16:15,039 --> 01:16:19,760
the goods of heretics should be confiscated
and their homes destroyed. Later and four

750
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:26,880
contains a dogmatic statement against the Catharite
to this effect. By the way,

751
01:16:27,119 --> 01:16:34,880
how does that job with Vatican two? Heretics should have their property property confiscated

752
01:16:36,359 --> 01:16:44,600
and their homes destroyed. Vatican two
says there's no heretics. Freedom of religion,

753
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:48,119
Bro, could you imagine imagine trying
to smush freedom of religion into Innocent

754
01:16:48,159 --> 01:16:51,439
the Third. What did Joe?
This is why the deeper that you go

755
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:59,600
into Roumtholicism, just the prima fosia
absurdity of Vatican two. It's just ludicrous.

756
01:17:00,039 --> 01:17:08,680
Want me to believe that God in
this century was ordaining that the church

757
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:16,039
burn heretics, confiscate their property,
destroy their homes. And now he's decided

758
01:17:16,039 --> 01:17:20,159
that we all need to have a
CC gatherings where we pray with all the

759
01:17:20,199 --> 01:17:25,520
religions. I mean, give me
a freaking break, dude, give me

760
01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:33,000
a break. Latter and four contains
these dogmatic statements against Kathari Joakim. If

761
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:38,079
you are we already mentioned Joakim,
That's where my notes were out of out

762
01:17:38,119 --> 01:17:42,920
of order. But Yoakam Ifior is
also condemned at the latter in four because

763
01:17:45,079 --> 01:17:55,600
Joachim Ifior attacked the trinitarian views of
Peter Lombard's sentences. Right around the same

764
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:59,479
time, A Mari of Beve I
don't know what that is. I can't

765
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:06,000
say that. Yet another heretic condemned
for his views that derived from John Scotus

766
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:15,319
a Regina. He developed the idea
that everything was evolving to become spirit.

767
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:30,000
So literally Tahard to chard in Tahardism, already present in Amalri of BEVEI Wow

768
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:45,239
Honorious the Third succeeds Pope Innocent the
Third and was less resolved, less resolved

769
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:50,319
and less original, but still dealt
with heresy. Honorius the third made the

770
01:18:50,359 --> 01:19:00,000
same, made sure anti made sure
anti heretical legislation was part of secular code

771
01:19:00,159 --> 01:19:05,119
of law. Emperor Frederick the Second
made such laws part of his imperial legislation.

772
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:11,319
Burning was now the punishment for the
recalcitrant heretic, that is, the

773
01:19:11,319 --> 01:19:15,920
one who has been preached to,
catechized warned. If they keep doing it,

774
01:19:16,159 --> 01:19:23,880
then you go to the stake bro
The major innovation, however, comes

775
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:30,880
with Pope Gregory the Ninth. Pope
Gregory resorts to special agents equipped with full

776
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:36,520
powers directly from the papacy, to
hunt down the heretics. In twelve thirty

777
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:42,880
one, he issues the general Commission
to something I can't read it smudged of

778
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:48,279
Regensburg. I almost feel like I'm
reading ancient documents because they're frazzled and smudged,

779
01:19:48,359 --> 01:19:50,920
you know, and it's just my
own notes from fifteen years ago.

780
01:19:56,359 --> 01:20:08,079
The episcopal local inquisition was then established
at this time, Thus was born the

781
01:20:08,119 --> 01:20:16,119
papal inquisition. Unlike bishops, the
direct emissaries of Gregory the Ninth had the

782
01:20:16,239 --> 01:20:20,439
power directly from the Pope, and
they didn't need the authority of any local

783
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:26,800
bishop. Their job was that they
were tasked with the suppression of heresy.

784
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:33,479
Usually this mission was fulfilled by Dominicans. Thus the Inquisition now pay attention because

785
01:20:35,119 --> 01:20:41,520
every idiot in the world thinks they
know about the Inquisition. Ninety nine percent

786
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:45,640
of people don't actually know the history
of the Inquisition. And Malcolm Lambert is

787
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:48,680
not unfair, Like he's a balanced, just scholar. I think he's some

788
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:53,880
kind of Anglican guy. But regardless, he's a historian and he's not unfair.

789
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:59,760
He doesn't like he's not after the
papacy. He's trying to vindicate here,

790
01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:06,560
it's he's just trying to give a
historical analysis the Inquisition. So the

791
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:12,520
way this begins is that the inquisitors
went out and they would register and log

792
01:21:13,279 --> 01:21:18,319
people suspected of going out and preaching
the mistakes and these weird views. Now

793
01:21:18,359 --> 01:21:23,760
it's not just anybody who has the
wrong idea go to the to the flames.

794
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:27,720
That's not true. What they were
doing was looking for the people fomenting

795
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:30,600
the social revolution. So basically they
were like co Intel or somebody like,

796
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:38,079
like, they're trying to find the
agitators and the revolutionaries. The idea was

797
01:21:38,239 --> 01:21:44,319
that the Inquisition could be eventually tasked
with becoming an international and it is now

798
01:21:44,359 --> 01:21:53,039
at this point an international body,
usually Dominicans, which could link up with

799
01:21:53,199 --> 01:22:03,760
other orders to get information everywhere to
prevent the escape of heretics from being discovered

800
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:09,119
and found out. So what would
happen was if the Inquisition came and the

801
01:22:09,159 --> 01:22:12,840
heretics, usually a Thori, found
out about this, they would just try

802
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:15,039
to flee to another city. But
the reason that they wanted to link up

803
01:22:15,079 --> 01:22:19,239
with other orders in other places was
so that they couldn't do that and get

804
01:22:19,279 --> 01:22:27,079
away. They couldn't be refuge heretical
refugees. The Inquisition was thus the heir

805
01:22:27,199 --> 01:22:35,319
to a body of legislation that reached
back to add what was that people document?

806
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:42,279
You know, the one on heresies? Right? My notes are most

807
01:22:42,279 --> 01:22:46,199
I can't see it. There was
thus a trend now that both the civil

808
01:22:46,239 --> 01:22:56,960
and the ecclesiastical law and powers tended
towards an inquisitional rather than an accusatorial procedure.

809
01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:00,680
Now this is interesting because this will
be the lobby don't even know this,

810
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:05,800
but this will influence later Western legal
theory. Did you know the Inquisition

811
01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:15,000
influences Western legal theory, and not
entirely in a bad way. That's because

812
01:23:15,039 --> 01:23:21,560
prior to this there was actually less
There were less rights for people accused because

813
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:25,880
a king could just come in and
say, I deem you a heretic,

814
01:23:26,359 --> 01:23:30,560
I'm burning your ass. The Church
stepped in to the credit of the Western

815
01:23:31,159 --> 01:23:38,680
Church at this time and said,
this is not right. We need trials.

816
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:45,399
There are rights that the accused have, so rather than just an accusation

817
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:53,960
procedure, there should be a kind
of catechisis and a kind of ecclesiastical barrier

818
01:23:54,359 --> 01:24:00,840
buffer between people and just some king
coming in and saying, I'm burning everybody.

819
01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:02,600
Did you know that most people don't
know that. That was actually part

820
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:10,359
of why the Inquisition came to be. In twelve fifty two, Innocent the

821
01:24:10,399 --> 01:24:20,039
Fourth decides that that torture could be
used in the case of certain heretics so

822
01:24:20,119 --> 01:24:29,279
that they might spill the beans on
the other heretics and their plans. This

823
01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:33,039
was because this was under the aegis
of the faultership of or a faulter of

824
01:24:33,079 --> 01:24:39,880
heretics a supporter of heretics. Faltership
of heresy was thus a grave crime and

825
01:24:42,359 --> 01:24:48,439
an obstruction of what the inquisitor was
trying to do, and thus you could

826
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:55,800
be labeled as a falter. The
place of uncertainty about the use of force

827
01:24:56,960 --> 01:25:04,479
against heresy that had, oh,
that was a popular debate in the eleven

828
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:09,760
the twelfth century was now at an
end. So even in the eleven the

829
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:15,079
twelfth century, it's inentrit that that
there's debates about whether the state or force

830
01:25:15,119 --> 01:25:18,000
could be used against heretics. Now
by this time it's there's no question about

831
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:25,520
it. This forced the heretics to
go underground and to become quite literally conspiratorial

832
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:30,199
and a secret society. This is
what Lambert says. And it's that the

833
01:25:30,239 --> 01:25:34,239
third always stressed, however, that
the connections between the failure of the clergy

834
01:25:34,439 --> 01:25:39,039
were the real reasons for the emergence
of heresy, and this that the third

835
01:25:39,119 --> 01:25:45,039
is correct. You just heard me
say that. Now we return to Catharism

836
01:25:45,079 --> 01:25:47,800
again, the main heresy. Now
we've seen how they arose, but we

837
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:54,880
haven't really focused on them. Catharism
was the most powerful heresy of the thirteenth

838
01:25:54,920 --> 01:26:00,119
century. Without question, the Cathariyes
stimulated the development of the Inquisition. It's

839
01:26:00,119 --> 01:26:09,239
actually the cathori that brought about the
reason for Inquisition. The Cathari were most

840
01:26:09,279 --> 01:26:16,159
strongly established in Italy and Languidoc.
They were the perfecti, the perfect excuse

841
01:26:16,199 --> 01:26:21,760
me, amongst the Cathari. Their
leadership were the perfecti, that is,

842
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:30,319
the elite of the Cathari. The
elite, these inner circle of secret leaders

843
01:26:30,399 --> 01:26:35,359
had obtained the right of what they
called the consola mintum. The consolamentum was

844
01:26:35,399 --> 01:26:41,920
a ritual that they had borrowed from
Bogomilism, the Bogomils and this right to

845
01:26:42,079 --> 01:26:49,079
call God the Father is given.
It's given to you in this right.

846
01:26:49,159 --> 01:26:58,720
In other words, a separate prayer
called the teleoesis gave one full remission of

847
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:04,000
sins. So the Cathari are like
an alternate clergy. And that's what's interesting.

848
01:27:04,239 --> 01:27:11,520
They're like a Gnostic sect with secret
hierofonts or something, and they're kind

849
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:17,399
of like like a Satanic sect or
something like a Masonic sector anyway, but

850
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:23,199
they believe that they could remit sins
through these different rights and prayers. The

851
01:27:23,279 --> 01:27:29,600
Cathari worldview, this is interesting.
After the fall of Adam, the angel

852
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:38,880
who formed the soul of man,
left his spirit behind in heaven and thus

853
01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:44,920
in the ritual of the consolamentum,
the spirit and soul of man were reunited,

854
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:51,079
and the soul would then pass out
of the domain of Satan. Almost

855
01:27:51,079 --> 01:27:56,960
sounds like scientology, like you're trapped
in your ears, Theatans have got you

856
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:04,680
trapped or something. I don't know. But to attain to this secret rite

857
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:12,880
was an arduous task. You must
be approved by the other Perfecti after one

858
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:16,640
year of a probationary period. During
this probationary period, you could eat no

859
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:26,319
meat, no milk, no eggs, no cheese, vegans. You had

860
01:28:26,359 --> 01:28:31,279
to spend then three days a week
on bread and water only, but you

861
01:28:31,279 --> 01:28:38,520
could eat fish. You could never
have sex, because sexuality is part of

862
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:45,399
Satan's creation. After one year,
the initiate must then adhere to an even

863
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:51,439
stricter ascetic practice, and every month
a time of confession is allowed for any

864
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:57,600
minor offenses. If you had a
single breach of the code eating an egg,

865
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:06,680
any sex, murder once more involved
a person in Satan's creation, and

866
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:15,279
thus lost you the entire consolamentum ritual. Later, because hardly anybody could live

867
01:29:15,319 --> 01:29:20,640
up to this retarded nonsense, a
reconciliation ritual was made up, but it

868
01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:28,239
was It was a heavy penance,
So if you wanted to undergo the reconciliation

869
01:29:28,359 --> 01:29:31,159
ritual, it was going to be
an even crazier penance. If a perfect

870
01:29:31,239 --> 01:29:39,680
I ever fell, it brought into
doubt all of the initiates that he had

871
01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:45,520
consoled or had undergone his consolamentum.
So like crazy level donatism here, right,

872
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:53,720
Yet this harsh way of life was
somehow itself attractive to a lot of

873
01:29:54,079 --> 01:30:03,399
simple peasant people. And this false
piety, this false externalism, because it

874
01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:09,960
contrasted with the worldliness of the institutional
church clergy. This is what convinced people,

875
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:13,079
This is why it had an appeal. But remember what Paul says.

876
01:30:13,119 --> 01:30:16,920
It's just literally a repeat of everything
Paul says in Colossians, Right, heretics

877
01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:21,479
are going to tell you to deny
meats, to deny eggs, this kind

878
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:25,800
of stupid stuff. And if you
do that, you're somehow higher and more

879
01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:36,920
gnostic. Literally all refuted and discolostionis
the only way to be saved was through

880
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:46,039
the consolamentum ritual. The black robe
that they wore, their thin, pale,

881
01:30:46,239 --> 01:30:53,560
gaunt appearance is what marked the Perfecti. So they had an appearance of

882
01:30:54,199 --> 01:30:58,680
you know, like, look how
pious we are. We're so you know,

883
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:04,560
thin and pale, and we don't
meet. The believers adored these Perfecti

884
01:31:05,159 --> 01:31:14,359
as if they were angels on earth. This whole religious system is quite obviously

885
01:31:14,359 --> 01:31:18,800
it's nothing but pure hypocrisy and pride. The perfect I blessed and broke bread

886
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:25,760
at their services, and they would
even pray the our Father. However,

887
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:30,800
only the Perfecti were allowed to say
that our Father. Social context of this

888
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:38,079
heresing the various towns where they had
come to have power and authority had perfect

889
01:31:38,079 --> 01:31:42,039
eye houses. The houses were either
men or women. You had to keep

890
01:31:42,079 --> 01:31:55,680
them separate. They performed the consolelamentum
ritual, which eventually eventually it copies the

891
01:31:55,760 --> 01:32:00,159
right of extreme unction in the Latin
Church. Extreme unction the right given to

892
01:32:00,319 --> 01:32:05,760
dying believers. In twelve hundred,
virtually all the entire population of Lac had

893
01:32:06,600 --> 01:32:12,640
had gone over to hear perfect I. They more or less converted and combiac

894
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:20,600
the curate. The Roman Catholic curate
complained that he had lost all but four

895
01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:29,159
of his parishioners to the Cathari in
Karaman, Lanta and Verfael. By twelve

896
01:32:29,279 --> 01:32:33,399
fifteen, hardly anyone died without the
right of the consolamentum of the perfect I.

897
01:32:35,239 --> 01:32:41,920
So now entire cities, villages,
bishops are complaining that the whole church

898
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:47,920
is converted to this stupid heresy.
Adherence to the adherence to this heresy in

899
01:32:48,039 --> 01:32:55,239
many villages and places and towns simply
became normal, understood Christianity. That's what

900
01:32:55,239 --> 01:32:58,279
people thought Christianity was. Now,
just like when you grow up in America,

901
01:32:58,399 --> 01:33:01,920
grow up Baptists, you think that's
what Christianity. Jordan of Saxony.

902
01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:11,359
Jordan of Saxony, a famous or
a lesser known Dominican, complained how daughters

903
01:33:11,399 --> 01:33:18,159
were given over to the perfect ie, to the perfect ee women homes like

904
01:33:18,319 --> 01:33:26,359
they had their like their own version
of nunneries, basically convents. And thus

905
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:32,439
because the peasants were giving their daughters
over to the perfect ied convents, this

906
01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:39,079
was just leading more and more people
into heresity. Do you see the patterns

907
01:33:39,079 --> 01:33:41,560
of history? That's why this is
so important and so fascinating, is that

908
01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:46,920
these patterns repeat how many? I
mean, everything Paul refutes in the New

909
01:33:46,960 --> 01:33:59,600
Testament, it just pops up again
as a repeat. The female perfective the

910
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:05,239
profect I had an almost egalitarian status
for women. Interesting women and men were

911
01:34:05,239 --> 01:34:12,560
basically no different. The Cathari had
an intricate system of how they ran their

912
01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:20,520
cult. Traveling merchants would make contacts. Public businesses were thus casual meeting places

913
01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:27,760
and signs would be made known secret
signs and symbols. Things were drawn on

914
01:34:27,880 --> 01:34:33,119
houses to let people know what were
Cathari safe houses. So if you were

915
01:34:33,159 --> 01:34:38,159
a secret Cathari, you had to
have secret churches, and they put little

916
01:34:38,199 --> 01:34:45,319
whatever their secret codes were. The
Cathari taught that the institutional Church, the

917
01:34:45,399 --> 01:34:48,439
Roman institutional Church, was Satan's Church
well, and by extension, any of

918
01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:56,720
the other Orthodox Church as well.
The initiates and believers weren't immediately introduced to

919
01:34:56,840 --> 01:35:03,239
the more gnostic esoteric doctrines. Shocker. The Catharie cast doubts on the validity

920
01:35:03,279 --> 01:35:10,880
of anything that the institutional Church taught, particularly their materialistic mass. So the

921
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:19,680
Roman Catholic Mass, the liturgy was
materialistic and therefore for profane uninitiated. The

922
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:28,359
gnostic Catharaie, however, had secret
revelations that would later be revealed to the

923
01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:31,560
initiate as they climbed up the rank, and they were told that this was

924
01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:36,119
equal to the Apostolic teaching quote unquote, Their proof text for this was Matthew

925
01:35:36,159 --> 01:35:42,520
thirteen eleven, which they said was
their secret teaching. The evil principle in

926
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:47,079
the world is equal to the good
principle. Both evil and good are co

927
01:35:47,319 --> 01:35:53,479
eternal battling principles. It is the
material world, this world, that is

928
01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:58,680
Satan's kingdom. It will never come
to an end. Satan will always have

929
01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:08,039
dominance over this eternal physical world.
One theory as to the origin of this

930
01:36:08,119 --> 01:36:15,279
in terms of Bogobolism, was a
dualist missionary by the name of Nietus Nicetus

931
01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:20,640
was a dualist heretic from Constantinople in
the eleven sixties who perhaps brought this dualism

932
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:26,760
to the West. The basic presupposition
of this whole sect and this whole religion

933
01:36:26,880 --> 01:36:33,319
is that body and soul, matter
and spirit are utterly incompatible. The origin

934
01:36:33,399 --> 01:36:40,399
of the Cathari myths, so that
Kathari actually have their own texts and scriptures

935
01:36:40,399 --> 01:36:43,479
and myths. They use some of
the Bible, but they'll reinterpret it.

936
01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:51,960
The Kathari fables, for one,
They used scripture, non canonical Christian legends,

937
01:36:54,199 --> 01:37:01,279
Jewish apocalyptic literature, their own imagination, the vision of Isaiah, the

938
01:37:01,319 --> 01:37:11,840
interrogation of John this weird you know, supergraphical texts, gnostic basically texts and

939
01:37:13,199 --> 01:37:17,000
odd texts that purport to explain the
fall of Satan. Okay, the Interrogation

940
01:37:17,039 --> 01:37:21,279
of John is an odd text that
purports to explain a non some weird thing.

941
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:26,479
The fall of Satan has taken on
the form of a serpent to have

942
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:31,199
sex with Eve through his tail.
So here we get like babbling in Talmud

943
01:37:31,239 --> 01:37:40,319
type stories, right, Kabbalistic stories. The Perfecti amongst the Cathari could alter

944
01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:45,600
and mix up these tales to make
them sound really cool and appealing and use

945
01:37:45,640 --> 01:37:50,720
them. Basically, they could alter
them and use them as needed. Radical

946
01:37:50,760 --> 01:37:59,560
Cathari, there were even radicals amongst
them. The radical Cathari were extremely deterministic.

947
01:38:00,399 --> 01:38:03,359
The fall was an act of free
will. Excuse me, the fall

948
01:38:03,479 --> 01:38:06,319
was not an act of free will, but was in fact intended to happen,

949
01:38:08,079 --> 01:38:14,159
and in their myth, their myth
is one of a Satanic conquest,

950
01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:20,560
whatever that means. The perfect I
had vernacular translations, that they would take

951
01:38:20,600 --> 01:38:24,520
these texts put them into the vernacular. That was part of the reason why

952
01:38:24,319 --> 01:38:30,159
they had success was they could whoever
could read would read these texts and maybe

953
01:38:30,199 --> 01:38:36,920
they couldn't read Latin. The Kathariye
sympathizer would be awarded a reincarnate body higher

954
01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:41,680
in the scale of being. If
you came over to the kathari they would

955
01:38:41,680 --> 01:38:43,880
say, well, you know,
follow us, you'll get a higher body.

956
01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:49,680
The true affinities of the kathari were
with far Eastern asthetics, in other

957
01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:54,720
words, like far Eastern religions Hindu
type asthetics. So there was you can

958
01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:59,720
see the parallels with like Hinduism here. Obviously the vegetarian, vegan type of

959
01:38:59,720 --> 01:39:05,119
stuff. Morality here is replaced not
with right and wrong ten commandments, but

960
01:39:05,159 --> 01:39:12,960
with severe bodily asceticism. The Catharide
denied the divinity of Christ shocker right.

961
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:19,479
Obviously all these ethics, theory,
son, and spirit are subordinate entities to

962
01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:27,600
the Father. Nor was he fully
human. His humanity could not be fully

963
01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:30,880
human because Satan created the flesh and
humanity. There were two gods and there

964
01:39:30,880 --> 01:39:40,600
were two creations. This was in
fact another religion altogether, So basically a

965
01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:48,680
gnostic mythos using certain Bible texts and
other texts to have a totally other religion.

966
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:54,680
Because we're enjoying this, I'll read
a couple of super chats. Since

967
01:39:54,840 --> 01:40:00,640
you know, I've been doing this
for about an hour forty are we Hopefully

968
01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:16,520
we're not lagging too bad? All
right, we got an hour ago.

969
01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:21,800
Now, Bill says, do you
or David know enough about the Assyrians to

970
01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:28,319
steal men and refute them? Yeah? I think we do know pretty well

971
01:40:30,199 --> 01:40:36,000
the Assyrian Nestorian view. I mean, I've read Nestorias, I've read significant

972
01:40:36,399 --> 01:40:44,279
sections of Saint Cyril. I don't
think it would be too hard to do

973
01:40:44,319 --> 01:40:46,560
that. I think we can eventually
deal with that. I think Gerald Norris

974
01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:50,000
one hundred dollars. Wow, I'd
never read all this stuff myself. Keep

975
01:40:50,079 --> 01:40:55,000
going, well, it is a
five or six hundred page, mega tiny

976
01:40:55,039 --> 01:40:58,880
print book. So that's why I'm
doing this, is that most people are

977
01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:01,439
not going to read this, and
so well, you're getting graduate level stuff

978
01:41:01,640 --> 01:41:05,520
for pennies on the dollar. So
thank you very much, Joel Norris.

979
01:41:05,560 --> 01:41:11,479
I'm honored that you would give me
that much. I appreciate it atala five

980
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:15,760
dollars. I love your work.
You've greatly helped my faith. I'd be

981
01:41:15,880 --> 01:41:19,079
with you from Lebanon. Hope you
weren't in Beirut, but thank you for

982
01:41:19,119 --> 01:41:25,359
that. Searching three dollars. I'm
searching for my faith in Orthodoxy as an

983
01:41:25,399 --> 01:41:29,520
atheist. I was just brought bought
an Orthodox study by Well Nihilism from your

984
01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:35,079
reading lists. Awesome. What would
be the next two to get? Well,

985
01:41:35,119 --> 01:41:44,920
if you're coming from the atheist realm, you probably have issue with like

986
01:41:45,119 --> 01:41:51,399
apologetic type stuff, so maybe get
an Ultimate Proof by doctor Jason Lyle,

987
01:41:51,640 --> 01:41:57,520
that would be a good one to
start out. And maybe God's Revelation to

988
01:41:57,560 --> 01:42:03,279
the Human Heart by Father surfrom Rose. That's a good compliment to the Nihilism

989
01:42:03,319 --> 01:42:09,439
book. A non says for five
dollars. I was born in Cullingrad formerly

990
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:13,880
Kunisburg, and my family moved to
America. I was raised a mix of

991
01:42:14,319 --> 01:42:18,239
Russian American culture, the only religious
traditions. I can't read these really long

992
01:42:18,279 --> 01:42:23,880
super chats, so I'm sorry they
fall off the page, so I don't

993
01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:27,000
know what the rest of it is. But sorry about that. Anon.

994
01:42:27,880 --> 01:42:30,760
If you're asking about which one to
choose, go Orthodox? How's that?

995
01:42:30,039 --> 01:42:33,399
James donates ten dollars. Thank you, James, much appreciated. Are you

996
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:38,520
aware twenty dollars? What do you
make of historical figures who are types of

997
01:42:38,560 --> 01:42:45,239
the Antichrist? Opposed to international usury, Napoleon, etc. Is it possible.

998
01:42:46,439 --> 01:42:51,279
I don't really think usury is the
determining factor of Antichrist. I mean,

999
01:42:54,159 --> 01:42:59,000
there's nothing about that in any of
the texts to deal with Antichrist.

1000
01:42:59,119 --> 01:43:03,600
Now, will Antichrist engage in usury? Probably, but that's not really a

1001
01:43:03,680 --> 01:43:08,760
defining for Go watch my video on
Antichrist. I did a whole forty five

1002
01:43:08,760 --> 01:43:13,239
minute talk on that. That's what
I would recommend. But thank you for

1003
01:43:13,239 --> 01:43:15,920
that superchat. Sorry, I can't
read all it. Remember guys that it

1004
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:19,600
needs to keep the super chat to
about a sentence, you know, one

1005
01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:24,239
long sentence. That's all that shows
up on the screen. And I can't

1006
01:43:24,279 --> 01:43:28,800
go open up stream labs to read
the entire comments because it's too many windows

1007
01:43:28,800 --> 01:43:34,279
open at once. It slows the
whole computer computer down because I'm running YouTube

1008
01:43:34,279 --> 01:43:41,680
streaming and I'm running stream labs at
once. All Right, we've gone almost

1009
01:43:41,720 --> 01:43:44,079
two hours. I'm gonna do a
little bit more because I'm souped up,

1010
01:43:44,119 --> 01:43:48,199
I got energy, I'm having fun. We've got almost three hundred people.

1011
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:53,920
Who else is telling you in depth
six hundred page books on the history of

1012
01:43:53,960 --> 01:43:59,199
Catholicism? Who else is doing that
for you. By the way, this

1013
01:43:59,239 --> 01:44:01,119
is a half and half. I'm
not going to read six hundred page books

1014
01:44:01,159 --> 01:44:04,840
and summarizing them for you without you
guys helping me out and supporting me.

1015
01:44:05,600 --> 01:44:11,439
You're getting graduate level stuff for pennies
on the dollar. So subscribe at Jay's

1016
01:44:11,439 --> 01:44:16,079
analysis to the member section if you
want the full analysis we've done. I

1017
01:44:16,119 --> 01:44:19,279
mean, this is a big book
we've only dented. I mean this is

1018
01:44:19,359 --> 01:44:26,520
like literally probably one hundred pages of
notes, So I don't think we're going

1019
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:30,680
to get this in one in one
big talk. I mean, this is

1020
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:38,920
probably a This is probably going to
take two or three different installments to finish

1021
01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:43,760
this book, but it'll be unique
because nobody else is doing this kind of

1022
01:44:43,800 --> 01:44:53,800
a in depth type of thing.
The fall of Cathism came from internal dissensions.

1023
01:44:53,840 --> 01:44:59,840
As usual, heretical groups and movements
collapse from within because they're all impelled

1024
01:44:59,840 --> 01:45:05,359
by ego and lunatics and demons.
Some took radical dualist views, and then

1025
01:45:05,439 --> 01:45:10,800
some of them turned around and took
monus views. Excuse me, not mons

1026
01:45:11,079 --> 01:45:15,039
semi dualist views. Excuse me,
but dualism can easily flip over Pnewmanism.

1027
01:45:15,079 --> 01:45:20,359
By the way, the Major Cathari. The Major cathar book was called the

1028
01:45:20,359 --> 01:45:27,840
Book of Two Principles. There's a
shocker. It shows the Italian Cathari we're

1029
01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:31,680
beginning to feel the weight of the
Catholic apologetic of the time. So they

1030
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:40,039
were having to constantly deal with the
Catholic apologetic. They were getting beaten over

1031
01:45:40,119 --> 01:45:45,079
time, and so the Kathari attempted
to adopt and they took on many Catholic

1032
01:45:45,159 --> 01:45:48,399
elements. So originally it's this really
radical thing, but now they're kind of

1033
01:45:48,399 --> 01:45:51,920
blending a little more. They're kind
of watering it down a little more because

1034
01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:58,760
they're having trouble with the apologetic arguments
innocent. The third launches a crusade on

1035
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:03,960
the Cathari. It's called Albagensian crusade. It scatters the Gatharai at first,

1036
01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:13,520
and many of the Perfecta ended up
being killed. Between twelve twenty nine and

1037
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:17,079
twelve thirty seven, many prominent families
in Tuluse were persecuted. The Council of

1038
01:46:17,119 --> 01:46:25,720
Toulouse in twelve thirty nine set all
principles based on ad Ablindaan the anti hereticbole

1039
01:46:26,159 --> 01:46:31,359
for supervising the deviations to Catholic dogma. The first commissions of Gregory the Night

1040
01:46:31,479 --> 01:46:34,960
to the Dominicans came in twelve thirty
three. They were the same. They

1041
01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:42,439
were some of the most formidable statements
of repression. They weren't immediately successful,

1042
01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:45,760
however, they were drowned out.
Excuse me. The heretics were driven out

1043
01:46:45,800 --> 01:46:53,560
of Toulouse for a time in twelve
thirty five. The mechanism for repressing heresy

1044
01:46:53,640 --> 01:46:58,800
became more efficient over time. The
tide begins to turn with a guy named

1045
01:46:58,800 --> 01:47:04,960
Peter of Saila. Peter of Saila
was an inquisitor and a companion of dominic

1046
01:47:06,079 --> 01:47:16,199
The fear of punishment did end up
causing many of many of the heretics to

1047
01:47:16,319 --> 01:47:20,680
avail themselves of what is called a
time of grace. So they kind of

1048
01:47:20,680 --> 01:47:24,520
did this thing where they would send
the Dominican or the inquisitor out and they

1049
01:47:24,520 --> 01:47:30,159
would say, here's katechisus. Come
to the katechisus, get taught, will

1050
01:47:30,359 --> 01:47:34,399
sit in debate, refute your heresies. Then you get a time of grace

1051
01:47:35,680 --> 01:47:41,079
three months six months a year.
If you keep preaching your heresy, then

1052
01:47:41,159 --> 01:47:45,199
you go to trial. That's how
it worked, basically, I mean they

1053
01:47:45,199 --> 01:47:48,880
would vury that model. A party
of inquisitors had been, in fact and

1054
01:47:49,880 --> 01:47:58,880
killed by nobles in one of the
arguments. Interesting, so I'm assuming that

1055
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:05,159
note means that even some of the
nobles had kind of converted over to heretical

1056
01:48:05,239 --> 01:48:10,680
views. Now the cathari will,
you know, they're like, they're not

1057
01:48:10,800 --> 01:48:17,960
done. They're gonna eventually get entire
damn castles that they own. It's crazy.

1058
01:48:18,239 --> 01:48:25,079
I'm gonna have a little piece of
candy so I can stay awakened.

1059
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:36,199
Summation of Catharism. The appeal to
scripture was made easier by the vernacular translations

1060
01:48:36,239 --> 01:48:43,720
of Scripture. The true foundation,
however, was in far Eastern religions and

1061
01:48:43,760 --> 01:48:50,680
their ascetic teachings, Gnosticism and the
fakiers of China and India. Catherism was

1062
01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:58,560
influenced by fakiers in China and India. Catherism truly is the heir to Bogomilism.

1063
01:49:00,279 --> 01:49:10,720
It was an upset. I don't
know what that note means. It

1064
01:49:10,760 --> 01:49:16,119
has an upset sacramental life in exchange
for a lifetime of sacramental living in favor

1065
01:49:16,239 --> 01:49:21,840
of one right of supreme Oh,
I see Catherism upsets sacramental life. In

1066
01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:28,359
other words, this is interesting.
Your whole life becomes preparation for this one

1067
01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:32,640
right of consolamentum. So rather than
you know, weekly mass or weekly confession,

1068
01:49:33,720 --> 01:49:41,520
your entire life is preparing you for
these lunatic hierarchs in this crazy cult

1069
01:49:41,920 --> 01:49:45,199
to give you this weird ritual that
will unite your spirit to your soul or

1070
01:49:45,199 --> 01:49:49,359
whatever for you from the body in
Satan. It almost sounds like Heaven's Gate

1071
01:49:49,399 --> 01:49:55,439
type of stuff, right, Like, didn't Marshall apple White say that when

1072
01:49:55,479 --> 01:49:59,119
the aliens come, you're gonna leave
your body and your body's evil. He

1073
01:49:59,239 --> 01:50:11,439
has some kind of weird like this, dude. The Kathari replaced Christian reality

1074
01:50:11,479 --> 01:50:17,760
with compulsory extreme asceticism. Sin is
purely a metaphysical state of being and not

1075
01:50:17,840 --> 01:50:23,199
an act of the will or a
violation of moral law. Nope, that's

1076
01:50:23,199 --> 01:50:29,600
a huge difference. It eliminated redemption
by denying the incarnation of Christ and his

1077
01:50:29,680 --> 01:50:32,960
crucifixion in favor of a subordination of
the Spirit and the Son to the Father,

1078
01:50:33,720 --> 01:50:41,239
and was radically dualistic. Catholicism is
therefore an extreme Christian heresy and ultimately

1079
01:50:41,279 --> 01:50:48,560
a different religion altogether. The dramatic
fall of Catholicism from a major threat to

1080
01:50:48,640 --> 01:50:54,000
the church in the thirteenth century,
early thirteenth century, to a persecuted minority,

1081
01:50:54,600 --> 01:50:59,600
to the full on disappearance by the
fourteenth century. It arrived in eleven

1082
01:50:59,640 --> 01:51:05,760
forty. Well, I don't know
what that note means, but basically,

1083
01:51:10,279 --> 01:51:20,119
oh, having arrived in the eleven
forties with the bogamill influence and the Nicetus

1084
01:51:20,119 --> 01:51:30,000
of Constantinople influence. The historical writers
about the sect of Nicetus are and some

1085
01:51:30,079 --> 01:51:36,840
of Alessandria and some random dude from
Lombardy both attach significance to the visit of

1086
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:46,359
Nicetus to bring these Eastern cult ideas. We're not talking about Eastern Orthodox So

1087
01:51:46,399 --> 01:51:56,000
basically, and some excuse me,
Nicetus of Constantinople appears to have been some

1088
01:51:56,119 --> 01:52:01,520
kind of bishop, a bishop,
bishop called Nus of constant and noble.

1089
01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:05,239
I don't think he was the Bishop
of Constantinople, arst bishop whatever. He

1090
01:52:05,359 --> 01:52:10,760
was some guy from constant noble called
the bishop of Bishop Nistus who had been

1091
01:52:10,800 --> 01:52:18,399
influenced by far Eastern Fakir dualistic philosophy, probably Chinese Indian philosophy. He brings

1092
01:52:18,479 --> 01:52:24,279
that at the same time as Bogamalism
comes over to Western Europe. That's the

1093
01:52:24,319 --> 01:52:33,039
point here. Bishop Nicetus taught that
the existing church order is faulty. Nicissus

1094
01:52:33,119 --> 01:52:39,800
ordained his own monks UH, and
one of those monks becomes the first Katharai

1095
01:52:39,920 --> 01:52:45,000
bishop of Italy. He claimed that
only he had the valid consolamentum that had

1096
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:50,119
come from the far East. Patricius
of Bulgaria came and doubted the validity of

1097
01:52:50,239 --> 01:52:58,840
Nicetus and his orders. So here
the heretics are friending amongst themselves because the

1098
01:53:00,640 --> 01:53:10,920
because the Eastern cathari UH, one
by one guy named Simon, gave the

1099
01:53:11,000 --> 01:53:18,119
consolamentum to Nicetus. In other words, Nicetus's lineage of this made up consolamentum

1100
01:53:18,199 --> 01:53:21,479
right was invalid because the guy that
gave it to him had lapsed. That's

1101
01:53:21,479 --> 01:53:25,720
what I'm trying to say. From
this, factions and divisions rose. We're

1102
01:53:25,760 --> 01:53:30,000
describing the fall of Catherism, because
so they fought amongst themselves and they basically

1103
01:53:30,039 --> 01:53:33,880
just collapsed. Two parties formed.
One of those was led by a guy

1104
01:53:33,920 --> 01:53:43,359
named Judaeus, who succeeded Mark one
of the cathari and the and the rival

1105
01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:48,720
sect was Peter of Florence at Mossie, a council was held to unify Cathari,

1106
01:53:48,800 --> 01:54:00,159
so the Cathari have their own council
at Mosci, Italy. The the

1107
01:54:00,199 --> 01:54:09,680
Kathari chose a head bishop named Geratus, who was prepared to go on to

1108
01:54:09,760 --> 01:54:16,279
go on a long journey to Bulgaria
to search to find the true Consola consolamentum

1109
01:54:16,359 --> 01:54:23,880
ritual. Just as the collection was
being made for his journey, he was

1110
01:54:23,960 --> 01:54:31,279
discovered to be in reprehensible circumstances having
sex with a woman, and that was

1111
01:54:31,359 --> 01:54:36,239
not allowable for Kathari. So I
guess we can send that guy to find

1112
01:54:36,279 --> 01:54:45,039
the true ritual. So the attempt
at unity the Kathari council ended up in

1113
01:54:45,079 --> 01:54:50,479
an orgy by their leader and the
whole thing collapsed. Others were sent to

1114
01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:57,359
find valid consolamentum rituals and failed.
Bulgaria was supposed to be a stronghold of

1115
01:54:57,399 --> 01:55:03,039
Bogoboism, and so the Cathari did
not generally. I can't read my note

1116
01:55:03,039 --> 01:55:12,560
there, That's why they were going
to Bulgaria. Catholicism, however, did

1117
01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:19,680
not typically contain Antiinomian teachings. This
was the view of the Massallians right.

1118
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:28,079
The testimony of the Inquisition shows that
the Cathari were not in fact Antinomian,

1119
01:55:28,199 --> 01:55:31,600
but did have a strict code so
to speak, not that they necessarily kept

1120
01:55:31,600 --> 01:55:39,279
it. As we said, their
major book was the Book of Two Principles.

1121
01:55:40,520 --> 01:55:48,279
Yet eventually the Kathari began to feel
the pressure of the Catholic apologetic the

1122
01:55:48,319 --> 01:55:56,239
Catholic polemicists. Polemicist forced the Kathari
to think more about their dualism and whether

1123
01:55:56,279 --> 01:56:04,319
it was coherent. For the Catharid
their dualism had actually previously been kind of

1124
01:56:04,359 --> 01:56:10,000
in the background of their theology.
Through the Catholic apologetic and argumentation, they

1125
01:56:10,039 --> 01:56:14,800
more and more forced the Cathori to
deal with the implications of their strict dualism.

1126
01:56:15,479 --> 01:56:20,760
One of the one of the theologians
came to this conclusion, John of

1127
01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:27,640
Luggio, and this was another indicator
in their collapse. Was one of their

1128
01:56:27,680 --> 01:56:33,399
major theologians, I guess was having
problems with this innocent the third The crusade

1129
01:56:33,439 --> 01:56:38,760
against the Cathars did appear to be
effective, first in Languadoc and then in

1130
01:56:38,800 --> 01:56:42,680
Italy. In twelve twenty five,
they held a council at Prius to set

1131
01:56:42,760 --> 01:56:45,640
up a new diocese. Between twelve
twenty nine thirty and twelve thirty seven,

1132
01:56:45,680 --> 01:56:51,520
the backbone of Catholicism had been completely
broken into loose due to the surrender of

1133
01:56:51,560 --> 01:57:00,000
the pro Cathar count. So the
state is propping them up. So notice

1134
01:57:00,079 --> 01:57:05,159
this is probably not just a bunch
of weirdos. If they had not had

1135
01:57:05,239 --> 01:57:13,960
state and princely noble aid, just
as Luther will have aid from the German

1136
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:19,319
princes, none of this would even
work. Right. So as soon as

1137
01:57:19,359 --> 01:57:23,680
the count in this place surrenders up, where do you go? What do

1138
01:57:23,720 --> 01:57:30,520
you know? The sect begins to
collapse. A council and to loose was

1139
01:57:30,560 --> 01:57:42,439
set up, set up a systematized
canonical police system to root out heretics based

1140
01:57:42,479 --> 01:57:47,199
on the Pope's ad Ablendon bull Gravy, the Ninth Commissions, as we said,

1141
01:57:47,199 --> 01:57:51,800
the Dominicans to drive out Cathism.
The Dominicans proved very effective at this.

1142
01:57:54,640 --> 01:57:57,520
They were driven out to loose by
twelve thirty five by the Dominicans,

1143
01:57:57,560 --> 01:58:01,399
mainly from twelve forty to twelve forty. This is the turning point. Peter

1144
01:58:02,199 --> 01:58:15,199
Sela, the commandon, the companion
of dominic and the only I can't read

1145
01:58:15,199 --> 01:58:19,039
my notes there, but he was
a moderate inquisitor for a wire I see

1146
01:58:19,079 --> 01:58:25,880
he at first was a moderate inquisitor. He later achieved much success, and

1147
01:58:25,960 --> 01:58:31,920
many people availed themselves of the time
of grace because theyed they feared the future

1148
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:38,279
punishment. Oh that's because they would
give him a three year period. I

1149
01:58:38,319 --> 01:58:41,720
see what I'm saying. So basically
twelve forty to twelve forty three was like

1150
01:58:41,800 --> 01:58:45,000
the grace period. So they would
come and preach, and you had like

1151
01:58:45,039 --> 01:58:50,520
one or two or three years of
your period of grace before the state would

1152
01:58:50,560 --> 01:58:55,640
come and the inquisitor's hand you over
to the state. A group of inquisitors

1153
01:58:55,640 --> 01:59:02,560
were murdered by Katharai in Auvignon.
I can't read my note, it looks

1154
01:59:02,560 --> 01:59:08,520
like I says Avignon. This resulted
in a siege on the Cathari stronghold or

1155
01:59:08,600 --> 01:59:15,159
castle in the Pyrenee. Two hundred
Cathars ended up arrested, including the Cathari

1156
01:59:15,279 --> 01:59:18,880
bishops of Toulouse and Rose. In
twelve forty nine, Count Raymond the second

1157
01:59:18,960 --> 01:59:26,319
abandoned his policy of tolerance and now
began to persecute. He burned eighty Catharised

1158
01:59:26,359 --> 01:59:31,239
suspects in one day, and I
can't tell what city agent. His successor,

1159
01:59:31,279 --> 01:59:40,039
Alphonse of Poitier was brother to King
Louis the ninth and became a hard

1160
01:59:40,159 --> 01:59:46,840
handed persecutor of all heretics. The
last Cathar was burned at lung Burn in

1161
01:59:46,960 --> 01:59:53,119
Languedoc as late as thirteen thirty.
From twelve forty three, the writing was

1162
01:59:53,159 --> 01:59:59,239
on the wall and Catharism had been
rooted out and collapsed. Bernard of co

1163
02:00:00,079 --> 02:00:09,520
u c au X interrogated four thou
five four hundred and seventy one suspected heretics.

1164
02:00:13,880 --> 02:00:18,640
Quera Low q u e r I
l o u s was the last

1165
02:00:19,319 --> 02:00:24,880
castle stronghold of the Catharie. If
you go and look up the Cathari castles

1166
02:00:24,920 --> 02:00:29,560
you'll see like seven or eight of
them that they had all somehow obtained these

1167
02:00:29,640 --> 02:00:33,079
castle strongholds. So they had to
have, you know, state elite support

1168
02:00:33,159 --> 02:00:39,119
for this. The last of their
castles, the many Cathari castles, was

1169
02:00:40,520 --> 02:00:46,119
this Quera Low or whatever. Bernard
of co had interrogated, However, so

1170
02:00:46,159 --> 02:00:55,079
many of them that his sentences or
penalties listed. Out of the four hundred

1171
02:00:55,079 --> 02:00:59,520
and seventy one, two hundred and
seven were sentenced, twenty three were imprisoned,

1172
02:01:00,119 --> 02:01:05,439
and the rest were given yellow crosses
and other penances, Bernard of Co

1173
02:01:05,680 --> 02:01:12,399
had in fact not burned anyone.
The records were recalled after a few years

1174
02:01:12,840 --> 02:01:15,600
and then so what they would do
is they would interrogate, you would have

1175
02:01:15,640 --> 02:01:21,439
this penalty that you'd wear a yellow
cross for three years as a penance.

1176
02:01:23,880 --> 02:01:30,239
And what I'm saying is that people
think of inquisitions like just billions of people

1177
02:01:30,279 --> 02:01:34,239
being burned, which is all just
pure nonsense. In this one example of

1178
02:01:34,279 --> 02:01:42,800
Bernard of Co interrogating five four hundred
and seventy one persons, two hundred and

1179
02:01:42,840 --> 02:01:46,680
seven of them were sentenced as recalcior
and heretics. Only twenty three ended up

1180
02:01:46,720 --> 02:01:51,359
in jail and the others were given
penance and note, and no one was

1181
02:01:51,399 --> 02:01:56,680
put to death. So it wasn't
as crazy as people make it up to

1182
02:01:56,720 --> 02:02:00,720
be. Now there, as we'll
see, there's different inquisitions. Okay,

1183
02:02:00,760 --> 02:02:08,800
there's papal inquisition, there's earlier state
inquisitions that we saw in this these sections,

1184
02:02:09,159 --> 02:02:14,800
and their Spanish inquisition. Spanish inquisition
is gonna be directly under like Isabella

1185
02:02:14,840 --> 02:02:17,960
and stuff, right, Papal inquisition
is supposed to be directly under the pope.

1186
02:02:18,039 --> 02:02:23,039
So they're not all there's not just
everybody doing there's different types of inquisitions,

1187
02:02:23,159 --> 02:02:26,039
and eventually there becomes the Holy Office
of the Inquisition. Okay, so

1188
02:02:26,600 --> 02:02:30,159
these are developments that take a long
time. Don't get this stuff confused.

1189
02:02:30,640 --> 02:02:36,720
But even still, the entirety of
the Inquisition did not murder millions of people.

1190
02:02:38,039 --> 02:02:41,680
I think Henry Commons says it was
a few thousand. So this is

1191
02:02:41,720 --> 02:02:47,039
all exaggeration. And I'm not a
Roman Catholic, and I'm gonna be honest

1192
02:02:47,079 --> 02:02:59,600
and fair with what the secular scholars
say about this stuff. Where Catherism of

1193
02:02:59,600 --> 02:03:04,600
the twelve forty twelve forties declined from
persecution, the perfect I switched the black

1194
02:03:04,920 --> 02:03:14,600
robes for hidden girdles and retreated to
the country. Simultaneously, Dominik's House for

1195
02:03:14,760 --> 02:03:24,119
abandoned women and abandoned Kathari girls grew
popular. Cathar leaders authorized them to then

1196
02:03:24,279 --> 02:03:31,239
shed blood, so now they turn
into a bloody cult. The indura was

1197
02:03:31,319 --> 02:03:38,760
a form of Kathari self imposed suicide. It was consonant with the ancient Greek

1198
02:03:38,760 --> 02:03:45,000
gnostic idea of the body being the
imprisoning power. By the demi urge Plato,

1199
02:03:45,119 --> 02:03:51,159
some Sami bodies the prison bodies of
tomb and as a result, the

1200
02:03:51,880 --> 02:04:01,039
perfectionist mindset ended up in a suicide
cult. There was a revival. Now

1201
02:04:01,640 --> 02:04:04,960
we're kind of jumping around in time, not because the notes are out of

1202
02:04:05,079 --> 02:04:13,159
place, but he's just kind of
looking at the course of it, reflecting

1203
02:04:13,239 --> 02:04:23,279
upon it. Pierre Autier in twelve
ninety five and his brother Guillaume helped to

1204
02:04:23,479 --> 02:04:29,159
evangelize their relatives for Catherism. Pierre
ended up captured and burnt in thirteen eleven,

1205
02:04:29,920 --> 02:04:33,680
and this was the ultimate final death
blow to Catherism. The fall was

1206
02:04:33,720 --> 02:04:44,199
due solely to the determined use of
the machinery of a few churchmen country Catherism

1207
02:04:44,439 --> 02:04:56,159
was a household manifestation of a parachurch
organization. The Cathars would only marry other

1208
02:04:56,279 --> 02:05:00,159
Cathars at this stage. This doesn't
really make any sense because marriage was outlaw.

1209
02:05:00,239 --> 02:05:04,359
But the sect can of course change
with the times, as sex always

1210
02:05:04,399 --> 02:05:08,720
do. And now you can kill, now you can be bloody. Oh,

1211
02:05:08,720 --> 02:05:12,199
we were pacifist, now we're revolutionary. Bloody. I guess you can

1212
02:05:12,239 --> 02:05:18,359
be married now. The deathbed,
the deathbed consolamentum purported to grant full assurance

1213
02:05:18,439 --> 02:05:25,399
of salvation, and this was the
this is what gave it larger. So

1214
02:05:25,479 --> 02:05:30,319
basically you could do whatever you wanted
and then just do the deathbed suicide ritual

1215
02:05:31,359 --> 02:05:40,239
to achieve salvation. This is just
crazy stuff. Another heretic pops up around

1216
02:05:40,279 --> 02:05:45,359
this time called I Vote of Narbone. I've always a wandering preacher who fell

1217
02:05:45,399 --> 02:05:50,199
in with the Cathars. They he
sent missionaries to the Sorbone to destroy Catholicism

1218
02:05:50,439 --> 02:05:59,039
from within by gaining an inner knowledge
of Catholicism at the university. That's a

1219
02:05:59,039 --> 02:06:01,359
weird one, just a random guy
that pops up. The murder of inquisitor

1220
02:06:01,399 --> 02:06:09,600
Peter Martyr in twelve fifty two was
an action of the Kathari because of the

1221
02:06:09,640 --> 02:06:14,720
persecution of heretics in Milan. The
struggles between Frederick the Second and the Pope

1222
02:06:14,800 --> 02:06:19,039
kept the heretics alive. It actually
slowed the persecution, so the Pope starts

1223
02:06:19,079 --> 02:06:28,119
having problems with Emperor and the Kathari
take advantage of this. Milan's heretics were

1224
02:06:28,279 --> 02:06:38,159
brought to order at the end of
the thirteenth century with Belowne along with Bologne

1225
02:06:38,159 --> 02:06:48,079
in thirteen oh nine. The last
heretical Cathar bishop lasted listed in Western Europe

1226
02:06:48,319 --> 02:07:01,479
was a Cathar bishop of Tuscany in
thirteen twenty one, Peter Order, Roman

1227
02:07:01,520 --> 02:07:11,199
Catholic saint started up confraternities for the
suppression of heretics. Could you imagine this

1228
02:07:11,479 --> 02:07:19,760
after Vatican two, a famous Western
saint starting up a confraternity for the suppression

1229
02:07:19,800 --> 02:07:31,159
of heretics. Catharism, Catholicism revived
in this cathar suppressed atmosphere. So by

1230
02:07:31,479 --> 02:07:36,680
after a few centuries, Catholicism's on
the way out thirteen hundreds, you're now

1231
02:07:36,760 --> 02:07:46,720
getting revival of Catholicism. Heresy was
squeezed into its ultimate oblivion in this time

1232
02:07:46,760 --> 02:07:51,479
period. Heresy in the Roman callis
knowledge was expanding in the thirteen the fourteenth

1233
02:07:51,520 --> 02:07:55,640
century. At this time. At
this time, universities are popping up everywhere,

1234
02:07:56,680 --> 02:08:01,399
New medical schools are popping up,
and so this is making it more

1235
02:08:01,479 --> 02:08:05,359
difficult to kind of deceive, you
know, so many peasants at a local

1236
02:08:05,439 --> 02:08:11,479
level. The new piety of Francis
of Assisi and the emphasis on Christ's human

1237
02:08:11,560 --> 02:08:20,600
life also helped kill Catherism in its
dualism and gnosticism. This incarnational emphasis of

1238
02:08:22,920 --> 02:08:28,319
Francis appears to have helped ideologically.
However, as we said, a new

1239
02:08:28,439 --> 02:08:31,079
danger was beginning to emerge that we
started this talk out with because my notes

1240
02:08:31,079 --> 02:08:37,760
are out of order, yochemism,
there's going to be a heresy even within

1241
02:08:37,760 --> 02:08:50,680
Franciscans. Chapter eight. The Waldensians
after Bergamo, after the I can't read

1242
02:08:50,720 --> 02:09:00,880
my note. Only the Waldensians continued
to survive after this. Out of this

1243
02:09:00,960 --> 02:09:05,560
time period, all the other crazy
cults that we mentioned, they'll die out.

1244
02:09:05,079 --> 02:09:13,239
Only the Waldensians survive from after twelve
thirteen up into sixteenth century, so

1245
02:09:13,479 --> 02:09:20,319
they make it for a few centuries, then they're out. You're done.

1246
02:09:20,680 --> 02:09:26,039
Compared to most of the other medieval
heresies, they're really the only one that

1247
02:09:26,159 --> 02:09:35,000
had longevity, relatively speaking. They
outlasted the persecutions. The Protestants who would

1248
02:09:35,039 --> 02:09:39,479
later go and investigate them found them
under educated, primitive, and still two

1249
02:09:39,520 --> 02:09:46,720
Catholics. So even the Waldensians didn't
make it make the Protestant cut because they

1250
02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:50,680
Protestants, I guess went and met
with them at the time of the Reformation.

1251
02:09:52,840 --> 02:09:56,560
The failed Council of Bergamo, the
rescript them is the only document that

1252
02:09:58,000 --> 02:10:03,960
survives. Council of Bergemow. I
guess this is a Waldensian council. I

1253
02:10:03,960 --> 02:10:07,439
don't know what that means. There
was a great upheaval in the thirteenth and

1254
02:10:07,479 --> 02:10:13,079
fourteenth century due to the imperial papal
conflicts. So the Pope starts having problems

1255
02:10:13,119 --> 02:10:18,720
with his western emperor, and this
is leading to civil upheaval the world.

1256
02:10:20,119 --> 02:10:28,359
The Waldensians supported Emperor Frederick the Second
against the Pope. The Waldensians declared all

1257
02:10:28,479 --> 02:10:37,239
Catholic stuff Nolan boyd because of clerical
sin. The Waldensians, however, made

1258
02:10:37,399 --> 02:10:48,079
quite a bit of headway in Germany. Wealthy families in Strasburg and Augsburg donated

1259
02:10:48,159 --> 02:10:54,279
heavy sums of money to the Waldenians, which helped them going. Germany then

1260
02:10:54,359 --> 02:11:03,319
became the base the Waldensian heresing alright, got a couple more super chats.

1261
02:11:03,359 --> 02:11:07,720
I'll hit those up, but my
voice is starting to crack, even though

1262
02:11:07,720 --> 02:11:13,439
we've still got a solid audience of
about two hundred and fifty five. I'll

1263
02:11:13,439 --> 02:11:18,600
finish up this page, and then
it looks like we've got a little more

1264
02:11:18,600 --> 02:11:24,079
on the Waldensians, and then we
come to Gregory the ninth and John the

1265
02:11:24,119 --> 02:11:33,000
twenty second, the famous popes.
We will deal with the poor Lombards,

1266
02:11:35,319 --> 02:11:45,479
some other weird, random creepy here
atics. We will deal with papal disputes

1267
02:11:45,520 --> 02:11:52,840
with emperors, inquisition, debates,
templars. Uh oh, the free spirit

1268
02:11:52,920 --> 02:11:58,920
heresy they sound neat right, what's
the free spirit heresy? The spiritualists,

1269
02:12:01,640 --> 02:12:09,159
the Great Western Schism, not Eastern
Orthodox Schism, the Great Western Schism,

1270
02:12:09,199 --> 02:12:16,800
fraud Dolcino, Fraud Dolcino, and
much much more. And then we'll come

1271
02:12:16,880 --> 02:12:22,039
up to guess who's after all that? John Wickliffe. Now we're starting to

1272
02:12:22,039 --> 02:12:30,119
get into that pre Reformation stuff.
I don't know how much of that will

1273
02:12:30,119 --> 02:12:35,760
be in Part two because we've still
got a lot of notes on this book.

1274
02:12:35,880 --> 02:12:41,520
We've only covered maybe maybe one third
of the notes, so again,

1275
02:12:41,520 --> 02:12:45,920
this will probably be multiple talks.
I'm going to close it out here with

1276
02:12:46,039 --> 02:12:56,159
this. Passaul Anonymous. Passol Anonymous
Dominican of the late thirteenth century and author

1277
02:12:56,199 --> 02:13:05,600
of a compilation Debating with Jews Heretics
Antichrist, which dates from the second half

1278
02:13:05,600 --> 02:13:11,039
of the thirteenth century, is what
gives us the detailed picture of the Waldensian

1279
02:13:11,079 --> 02:13:16,279
worldview. This is twelve sixty six
AD. Passau Anonymous gives an account of

1280
02:13:16,319 --> 02:13:22,960
the Inquisition of forty two Waldensians.
Passaul says that they had no hierarchy amongst

1281
02:13:24,039 --> 02:13:28,079
them They believe that all of their
members could preach, even the children.

1282
02:13:28,560 --> 02:13:41,319
Even kids can preach. Ten sites
are outlined as Waldensian schools, so they

1283
02:13:41,319 --> 02:13:46,359
had set up ten different places where
they had schools. They will be very

1284
02:13:46,399 --> 02:13:54,760
similar to the coming fifteenth century group
known as the Lollards. The Waldenians believe

1285
02:13:54,840 --> 02:14:01,760
that the words of consecration could be
spoken by a lay person or even a

1286
02:14:01,800 --> 02:14:09,319
woman, so they believe in women
priests. The durability of the movement lay

1287
02:14:09,399 --> 02:14:13,079
in the faults of the existing clergy. So once again, the corruption of

1288
02:14:13,119 --> 02:14:22,960
the institutional Roman church is what powers
and fuels the peasantry buying into Waldensians.

1289
02:14:26,199 --> 02:14:41,359
He Malcolm Lambert notes that corruption of
the institutional clergy is quite often the case

1290
02:14:41,119 --> 02:14:48,119
of the spread of heresy. However, the Waldensians were very superstitious and ignorant.

1291
02:14:48,920 --> 02:14:54,880
They believed that all churches that were
institutional were harlots, and they claimed

1292
02:14:54,920 --> 02:15:01,520
to have and possess outrageous, absurd
miracles. So once again every sactistic,

1293
02:15:01,600 --> 02:15:07,960
Oh we have crazy miracles. This
proves was right. It was mostly It

1294
02:15:07,039 --> 02:15:16,199
was mostly however, ignorant peasants.
The newly converted were immediately ordained as missionaries

1295
02:15:22,720 --> 02:15:26,159
who were sent out to convert as
many people to the sect as possible.

1296
02:15:28,039 --> 02:15:31,119
They told all these people to immediately
become street evangelists, who used all kinds

1297
02:15:31,119 --> 02:15:35,640
of tactics, tricks, and methods
to get people to come to their Bible

1298
02:15:35,720 --> 02:15:39,520
studies, which were held in secret. They stressed the vernacular reading of the

1299
02:15:39,520 --> 02:15:45,640
Bible, the simple interpretation of the
text here is Protestant stuff, and their

1300
02:15:45,720 --> 02:15:50,760
overall theology was basically fundamentalist and donatists. Anything that had been done by a

1301
02:15:50,800 --> 02:15:58,680
sinful preacher, priest, or cleric
or bishop was invalid, and the Bible

1302
02:15:58,720 --> 02:16:03,439
should just be read by this people. In some cases they actually would murder

1303
02:16:05,039 --> 02:16:13,880
hierarchical clerics. The Romancalolic prelates.
Other notable heresies that Passault anonymous. The

1304
02:16:13,920 --> 02:16:22,199
Dominican found within the the Wealdenzians was
that they do not believe in any icons

1305
02:16:22,239 --> 02:16:26,520
or images. They do not believe
in any relics. Pilgrimages should not be

1306
02:16:26,560 --> 02:16:30,960
done, no one should take an
oath. There was no after death journey

1307
02:16:31,039 --> 02:16:37,520
or purgatory. They had a pure
literalism when they read simple Bible, simple

1308
02:16:37,559 --> 02:16:41,559
Bible texts. That's his take.
I'm not saying purgatory in the Romancalolic history

1309
02:16:43,360 --> 02:16:46,600
anyway. Sorry, that is about
the first third of Malcolm Lambert's book summarized.

1310
02:16:46,639 --> 02:16:48,399
It was a little bit out of
order. Sorry about that. My

1311
02:16:48,479 --> 02:16:56,360
notes are My notes are kind of
chaotic and archaic. Family plan for five

1312
02:16:56,399 --> 02:17:01,440
dollars says double duty day, good
job. I mean it doesn't feel like

1313
02:17:01,520 --> 02:17:07,360
work for me to sit back and
talk about you know, mega scholarly six

1314
02:17:07,440 --> 02:17:13,719
hundred page tomes. That's not work
for me. That's enjoyable. And you

1315
02:17:13,760 --> 02:17:16,879
know, joking around and talking with
Tristan that was fun. It's enjoyable.

1316
02:17:16,879 --> 02:17:22,280
It's leisure to me, bro leisure
to me. Funds for five dollars.

1317
02:17:22,319 --> 02:17:26,079
It seems the papal schism was an
explosion of heresy in the West. Absolutely,

1318
02:17:28,040 --> 02:17:35,559
it might be God hardening the heart. Aj do you mean the papal

1319
02:17:35,600 --> 02:17:43,639
heart. I'm not sure, but
yeah, I think that these are manifestations,

1320
02:17:43,760 --> 02:17:50,600
not totally but partly due to problems
within the West in terms of their

1321
02:17:50,639 --> 02:17:54,000
theology. Now, there can always
be corrupt clergy. I'm not saying that.

1322
02:17:54,360 --> 02:18:01,920
I mean there's plenty of corrupt clergy
throughout the East, and Bogomilism and

1323
02:18:01,559 --> 02:18:07,799
the heretic Nicetus these are gnostics who
do come from the East. Sure,

1324
02:18:07,959 --> 02:18:15,200
no denying that. But there's something
fundamentally wrong here, you know, in

1325
02:18:15,239 --> 02:18:18,639
the papal situation, as we're going
to continue to see. I believe the

1326
02:18:18,680 --> 02:18:26,799
solution to that problem is in the
bad theology, absolutely divind simplicity, Philly

1327
02:18:26,879 --> 02:18:33,479
Oquay rejecting Nicia two, which is
what the Carolinians do, which were covered

1328
02:18:33,479 --> 02:18:37,799
with snack. That's the root of
what's going on here in the West and

1329
02:18:37,840 --> 02:18:43,920
the rise and the innovations and changes
that nobody denies anymore unless you're like a

1330
02:18:43,399 --> 02:18:50,079
know nothing online pop Roman Catholic apologists. The Vatican and its apologists and theologians

1331
02:18:50,120 --> 02:18:58,760
have recognized a marked change between the
operations of the Church in the first eight

1332
02:18:58,959 --> 02:19:03,120
nine tenth century and what begins to
change with the rise of the people monarchy

1333
02:19:03,239 --> 02:19:11,840
afterwards. Exactly Ecclesiology is effected on
the basis of theology, not the other

1334
02:19:11,840 --> 02:19:20,920
way around. So you know,
that's what's going on here. But we're

1335
02:19:20,959 --> 02:19:24,559
not really here too, you know, we're not here to lecture on assote

1336
02:19:24,600 --> 02:19:31,719
my simplicity. We're looking at the
you know, the scholarly approach to these

1337
02:19:33,959 --> 02:19:37,239
largely unknown centric A lot of people
don't even know anything about this time period.

1338
02:19:37,239 --> 02:19:39,799
It's really fascinating, crazy, wild
stuff. You know. That was

1339
02:19:39,920 --> 02:19:46,520
really into this book when I read
it years ago. So enlightening stuff for

1340
02:19:46,559 --> 02:19:50,799
sure. Thank you guys, hope
you enjoyed it. Probably the next day

1341
02:19:50,879 --> 02:19:52,799
or two I'll do the second half, and depending on how far I get

1342
02:19:52,840 --> 02:19:56,680
in the notes in the second half, I'll determine whether there will be another

1343
02:19:56,680 --> 02:20:01,639
one. So thank you for joining
to me. Be sure to share this

1344
02:20:01,760 --> 02:20:03,959
if you would give me that like
