Common Expressions: CLUNIAC

Expressions Definition
Cluniac reformers During the tenth and eleventh centuries, a reform movement was born by serious Christians. They founded a monastery in Cluny, France. Their goal was to purify monastic life and set a higher Christian ideal that could be looked up to. The Cluniacs refused to listen to any authority other than that of Rome. These Christians were able to build up Rome when the conditions were horrible and raised up Latin Christendom. (references)
