The Persecuted Non-Conformists (Part 1)

Church HistorySteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses a category of persecuted non-conformists during the Middle Ages. He explains that during this time, those who publicly preached against the Roman Catholic Church were considered dangerous and faced persecution. Gregg focuses on the Paulicians, a group who believed in a dualistic view of God and Manichean beliefs. He also touches on the Cathars, a group who believed in a cycle of reincarnation and rejected the meat and wine often found in religious practices. Gregg notes that some of these teachings are not supported by the Bible, and that the sources of information on these movements can be confusing.
