Christian Heinrich Anton Aldenbrück  (1753-1795)

Perfectibilists, 448-9

Aldenbruck, Christian Heinrich

Order Name: Petrus Waldus

An advisor of the Chamber of the Court in Cologne; his alias is in reference to the Waldenses, a heretical sect founded by Peter Waldo (Valdès) from Lyons, in about 1170 AD. The Waldenses were condemned in 1184 by the Church along with the Cathars. There are parallels between the two sects: both had “a similar organization, being divided into two classes, the Perfect (perfecti) and the Friends or Believers (amici or credentes).”
