Everything about Heresiarch totally explained
A
heresiarch (also
hæresiarch, according to the
Oxford English Dictionary) is a founder or leader of a
heretical doctrine or
movement, as considered by those who claim to maintain an
orthodox religious tradition or doctrine. For example, according to traditional
Roman Catholic doctrine,
King Henry VIII of
England was a heresiarch, as he influenced the
Archbishop of Canterbury to break away from the Catholic Church to form the
Church of England, and so were the other
Protestant reformers such as
Martin Luther and
John Calvin. The miller Domenicio Scandella (called
Menocchio) of
Carlo Ginzburg's
The Cheese and the Worms was also declared a heresiarch by the inquisition judges.
The first official heresy of the Christian church,
Arianism, was created by heresiarch
Arius. It taught that Jesus was of lesser substance than God, which was rebuked by Constantine's Council of Nicea, which asserted that Jesus and God were "of the same substance."
