Talk:Apostolic Brethren

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article incorporates content from the 1728 Cyclopaedia, a publication in the public domain.

This article includes content derived from the Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, 1914, which is in the public domain.

I was the first to propose the merge but now after having read much on the subject I believe it is wrong to merge them, the apostolics in fact where diffused in europe and survived the dulcinians that where only present in the north-west of italy. They were just a short lived offspring of the apostolics and disappeared after the crusade against them, they eventually became more famous but it is simply a different story. Maybe instead the article about the apostolics should be improved and extended.

[edit] This article should be rewritten, impartially!

"At the head of a fanatical horde" "The ideal which the Apostolic Brethren strove to realize was a life of supposed perfect sanctity"

How do you know they were a "fanatical horde"? How do you know they were just pretending they wanted to live a life of perfect sanctity?

I thought that Wikipedia was impartial. Who subscribed this article seem to speak from the point of view of the Apostolic persecutors. Doesn`t matter if is his/hers point of view, or is just a quote from a book given as reference, this article should be rewritten from an impartial point of view. And by this I mean historical facts, not personal interpretations.
