medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
 
 
I think that the process of licensing "clerici" for predication is as earlier as the Gregorian Reform : I do remember that Robert of Arbrissel and Bernard of Abbeville have received such a mandate from Pope Urbain II ("praedicationis officium"). Peter Damian (+ 1072) insisted in his "contra clericos proprietarios" on the fact only ermits should be authorized to preach.
