Arnoldist

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arnoldists were a kind of sectaries in the 12th century, named after Arnold of Brescia who criticized the great wealth and possessions of the Church, and preached against baptism and the Eucharist. His disciples were also called Publicans or Poplecans, a name probably deriving from Paulicians.
