medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Diana,
As far as I know heretics are those, whose dogmata differ from those of the
majoritarian church (particularly from the catholic point of view). The
greek word 'hairesis' means: doctrine, 'schisma' is a splitting, so that
schismatics do not neccessarily have other ideas on dogmatics, but built a
complete rival church. This can come about by political reasons, too. To be
a schismatic, you have to have been a member of the majoritarian church
before, heretics can appear from anywhere and then get into conflict with
the doctrine of the majoritarian church.
Best greetings !
Yours Vera
