Overview

The Waldenses, like the Fransiscans, emerged from the apostolic movements within the Latin Church of the decades around 1200, but unlike the Fransiscans they were driven underground. Not a full counter-Church, like the Cathar heretics, they formed a clandestine religious order, preaching to and hearing the confessions of their secret followers, and surviviving until the reformation. These articles rely upon a wide range of evidence, trials and treatises relating not just to the Germanophone Waldenses of the 14th century but to the Waldenses throughout Latin Christendom between the 1170 and the 1530s.
