This ties in with what J. B. Russell called "Reformist heretics," those
who started out as critics and ended up outside, sometime impelled by a
hostile reception. What little I have read about Peter Waldo suggests
that this was how the Poor of Lyons got themselves into trouble.
(Speaking of modern survivals, there is a Chiesa Valdensiana in Rome.)
