	Paulicians - LoveToKnow 1911
		The Paulicians were, according to Esc., Manicheans, so called after Paul of Samosata, son of a Manichean woman Callinice.
		The division (often inept) of the text into chapters, the references to chapter and verse of a printed N.T., and sundry pious stanzas which interrupt the context, are due to a later editor, perhaps to the copyist of the existing text of 1782.
		The former scruple, however, was not confined to Paulicians, for it inspires the answer made by Eusebius, bishop of Thessalonica, to the emperor Maurice, when the latter asked to have relics sent to him of Demetrius the patron saint of that city.

	Paulicians
		Paulicians, or the Paulician Movement, was a movement of preachers springing up in the in the mid-7th century in Armeniakon, a boarder providence of the Byzantine Empire in eastern Asia Minor.
		This doctrine was declared purely Paulician, which is the reason that it was decided that when tried all suspected heretics, individual cases not accepted, were made to recite the entire orthodox Creed with its professions of belief in one God, creator of Heaven and Earth, the visible and the invisible.
		The Paulician population of Samosata was composed of a large number of Greeks; Symeon, the leader, was of high Greek birth, and not the only member of this stature.

		Paulicianism was a Christian sect that flourished between 650 and 872 in Anatolia, originating from Armenia and the Eastern Themes of the Byzantine Empire.
		The name Paulicians was given by others, derived from their respect for the apostle Paul, rather than from their third leader, the Armenian Paul, as Photius and Petrus Siculus affirm.
		Some historians have stated that incidences of prophetic and estatic utterances among the Paulicians was actually glossolalia, which phenomena occurring outside of the Church was considered witchcraft.

	The Cathars - All Empires (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The early Paulicians insisted that Jesus was born in human nature and was only later adopted by God as his divine son, and was thus not fully identical with the latter.
		The Paulician theology even in its later form lacked the radical Dualism of Mani, and its organisation did not possess the hallmark of Dualist groups, which was the distinctive separation of the congregation into a small elite of the select and that of the majority of listeners.
		The fact that the Paulicians was later denounced by Byzantine state and church as Manichaean heresy does not necessarily signify a similarity with Manichaeism, which had become the epithet of too many unrelated heresies.

		A colony of Paulicians in the Wallachian village of Cioplea near Bucharest also followed the example of their brethren across the Danube.
		In the 18th century, the Paulician people from around Nicopolis were persecuted by the Turks, presumably on religious grounds, and a good part of them fled across the Danube and settled in the Banat region that was part of the Austrian Empire at the time and became known as Banat Bulgarians.

	Paulicians - HyeForum
		Paulician doctrines were disseminated among the Macedonians, Bulgarians, and Greeks, especially among the peasants, and it seems that they contributed to the development of the doctrines and practices of the Bogomils, another neo-Manichaean sect, who first appeared in Bulgaria in the early 10th century.
		In the practice, or at least in the theory, of the sacraments, the Paulicians were inclined to abolish all visible objects of worship, and the words of the gospel were, in their judgment, the baptism and communion of the faithful.
		The modern Paulicians have lost all memory of their origin; and their religion is disgraced by the worship of the cross, and the practice of bloody sacrifice, which some captives have imported from the wilds of Tartary.

	The Story Of Religious Controversy: Chapter XXIII
		This heresy was Paulicianism, a mixture of Gnostic and Manichaean and primitive Christian ideas.
		In 1167 the head of the Paulician sect (the mother of the Bogomile sect, which was the mother of the Albigensian sect) went to Albi, held a great synod, consecrated five new bishops, and gave the religion a splendid public triumph.
		The total number of Manichaeans, Arians, Priscillianists, Paulicians, Bogomiles, Cathari, Waldensians, Albigensians, witches, Lollards, Hussites, Jews and Protestants killed because of their rebellion against Rome clearly runs to many millions; and beyond these actual executions or massacres is the enormously larger number of those who were tortured, imprisoned, or beggared.

	Balkan- Byzantine Dualist Heresy: Different Names and Manifestations- Implications for the Bosnian Church Controversy
		The Paulicians frequently associated themselves and acted in cooperation with the iconoclastic movement, which in its attempted proto-reformation condemned the veneration of images and icons as idolatry and won the support of several Byzantine emperors (who also tolerated Paulicianism) before being ultimately defeated in 843.
		The Paulician principality was backed by the Arab regional powers and thus became a major factor in the Byzantine-Arab/Christian-Islamic encounters and confrontations in eastern Anatolia (Paulician forces played a role in some of the regional battles during the First Crusade).
		There the representatives of this ‘western’ wing of Paulicianism retained their beliefs and rituals as late as the mid-Ottoman period when they were converted to Catholicism by Catholic missions but continued to practice, at least for some time, a certain hybrid form of Paulicianism and Catholicism.

	Distinguishing Evangelicals from Paulicians
		Another argument against accepting the Paulicians as our predecessors is that we know almost nothing about their spiritual accomplishments and background, nor the circumstances under which they adhered to their faith.
		The Paulicians proved to be very fierce fighters and during one of the battles, the Emperor was forced to sue for peace but was rejected.

		One Christian empress of the ninth century slaughtered a hundred thousand of these people, but an emperor of the tenth century still had to transport two hundred thousand of them to the desolate frontier of his empire, next to Bulgaria, to try to suppress the heresy.
		The Cathars were burned or imprisoned in many places but in the south of France the princes and nobles favored them and were proud of their industry and integrity in a corrupt world.
		In 1167, the head of the Paulician sect, from which evolved the Bogomile sect and then the Albigensian sect, went to Albi, held a great synod, consecrated five new bishops, and gave the religion a splendid public triumph.

	Was there Life beyond the Life beyond? - Articles
		Previous scholarship maintained that the majority of Paulicians were not related to or descendents of Mani.82 According to N. Garsoý¨an, Paulician doctrine adheres to two distinct traditions.
		Since, in addition, recent scholarship has criticized the excessive preference given to the Adoptionist strain of Paulicianism and views the Byzantine Paulicians as another predominantly dualist heresy, 88 it is reasonable to conclude that belief in reincarnation may have been part of the doctrines of the Byzantine Paulicians.
		Certainly there is no evidence for the direct connection of Paulicianism to the Manichaeans, but for the Byzantines this was an easy way to come to terms with a new heresy.

	The Paulicians: Chapter 7
		"One of the Fathers of the Armenian Church writes in the twenties of the eighth century that: ‘They (the Paulicians) proceeded from iconoclasm to cruciclasm, and then passed on to the hatred of Christ, and thence to atheism and to devil worship.’ The connection between iconoclasm and Paulicianism is indeed significant.
		Again, it was a trait of Paulician thought which the Emperor Constantine V showed when he suggested in the iconoclastic council of 754 that the veneration of the Holy Virgin and the saints should be prohibited.
		"The strength of the Paulicians lay in the fact that the anti-ecclesiastical and anticlerical forces of the period were released and joined hands with this spititual sect, and, encouraged by the imperial authority, tried to administer a blow to the ritualism of the official Church.

	Cathar Connections to Gnosticism: Part: 1
		Later dualistic movements, such as the Paulicians of the seventh through ninth centuries, emphasize this continuing tradition.
		These texts must be considered not in and of themselves, but as representatives of a larger tradition, one which began with Valentinian Gnosticism, continued into Manicheanism, Paulicianism, Bogomilism, and finally Catharism.
		The Cathar heresy was one of a number of dualistic revivals during the Middle Ages.

		The name arose from his combination of the doctrine of St. Paul with that of Zoroaster, but he had intermingled a larger proportion of the former ingredient than his precursor Manes had thought fit to do in his original theosophy.
		Here their missionaries converted the neighbouring pagans, the Bulgarians, whence the sect derived a new and more odious appellation, one which in course of time from denoting heresy in religion was fixed to the branding of heresy in love.
		These few facts, selected from the wide range of their history, will suffice to illustrate the diffusion of Manichean notions during the period when the Templars were at the height of their prosperity and power.
