The Waldenses | Church History Series

This is the 23rd lecture in David Guzik's series on Church History, wherein he details the history of Peter Valdes (also known as Peter Waldo, or Valdo; in French: Pierre Vaudès, or de Vaux; in Latin: Petrus Waldus, or Valdus), his clashes with the Catholic Church, and the Waldenses who followed him.

• Peter Valdes / Waldo (c. 1140 – c. 1205)

Some of my ancesters had been Waldenses. They fled in the 17th century from Pragelato in the Italian alps to Germany because they were severly persecuted. They settled in the Odenwald area south of Frankfurt. During the reformation the Waldenses joined the Reformed Church. Their slogan was "Lux lucet in tenebris" (The light shines in the darkness). My ancesters had family names like Gaefelein, Just, Gaydoul, Jayme, Heleine etc. Some of this names have Lombard origin. Greetings from Germany

Thank you for your teaching the church history succinctly and it is very helpful to understand the essence of the each movement.

I am humbled whenever I read about Peter Waldo and the Waldenses.

There is a story of two Waldensian men open air preaching in Metz France and they were asked who sent them to preach (Romans 10:15) and they replied "the Holy Spirit". Encouraging history.

Is it true that the Roman Catholic Church try to stifle the true word of God again?

Fascinating cycles throughout the last thousand years: recurring attempts to restore Apostolic faith and practices, attempts to crush these attempts by religious "experts, " new movements, more oppression, wider restoration efforts, more oppression, etc. Sadly, it continues to this day. But, as Christ Jesus proclaimed, not even the Satan himself can prevail against the true Church based solely upon the Gospel.

This is a perfect representation of the entire Roman Catholic RELIGION throughout their history

[eloygarcia]

Can't be true since they kept the true Sabbath ("Saturday") and all the "jewish" = biblical feasts of the Tanakh. Sounds like a failed try of ocumenialism. TRUTH= the Messiah never founded a new religion.
