Abstract

The appearance of the thousand year heresy and its interrelation with the Church, and the work of Raoul Glaber shows us a new horizon in the perspective of the beginning of the medieval heresies, in Western Europe. The fear of the end of the world, and the terrible apocalyptic idea of not being saved, led the society of that time to a series of reinterpretations of the end of the world. Also the appreciation of signals and the appearance of various groups in France and Italy lead to a symbolic interpretation, not without credulity and fear. All this gives us to understand that social conflicts had a clearly religious root and the Church had to face such movements.
