Is it possible to remove the word "radical" from the description of Peter Waldo? It's a bit judgemental to say the least, and serves no purpose in describing the man or his message, whatever it may have been; and if not much is know about what his message was, then calling it "radical" is not useful at all.[[User:Bob em|Bob em]] 13:38, 1 May 2006 (UTC) |

-I think you misunderstand the context in which the word "radical" is being used. During the late middle ages, a "radical" was simply one who practiced christianity outside the approval of the Catholic Church. The phrase is not offensive in the least, and similar to the way modern academia uses "heresy". Though you are correct in saying that it is irrelevant to Waldo's message, it is very relevant in that defines his stature as a political/religious pariah.

Radical
Is it possible to remove the word "radical" from the description of Peter Waldo? It's a bit judgemental to say the least, and serves no purpose in describing the man or his message, whatever it may have been; and if not much is know about what his message was, then calling it "radical" is not useful at all.Bob em 13:38, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

capitalization
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proven%C3%A7al. The page has "provençal" but if it's a proper name of a language, (could someone check if it's referring to the proper "Provençal"), then shouldn't it be capitalized?

New York???
The reference to selling women in New York does not appear in the source cited, and is an impossibility since Waldo lived long before New York existed. I will remove the sentence. Innerkip (talk) 16:59, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
