| Abstract | In this session we look at the means of establishing orthodoxy in the course of the 13th century. Adam Hoose provides a comparative analysis of the development of the Franciscans and Waldensians, asking why one group became orthodox and the other heretical. Keith Kendall looks at the sermons of Pope Innocent III, their influence on the Fourth Lateran Council (1215), and their subsequent role in strengthening orthodoxy. Elizabeth Sherman explores the Church's use of charity as a means to establish orthodoxy in Languedoc and the re-channelling of lay charity away from heretics. |
