Humiliati. An Italian penitential movement. Its adherents devoted themselves to mortification, the care of the sick, and preaching; in 1184 they were condemned for their disobedience to the hierarchy. Innocent III in 1201 reorganized them in the form of three orders, governed by a single general chapter: the first order consisted of double monasteries of canons and nuns, the second of houses of celibate lay men and women, the third of married people living at home. The first two were assimilated to the mendicant orders; the third disappeared in the 14th cent.

Humiliati

The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed. | 2008 | Copyright

Humiliati [Lat.,=the humbled ones], Roman Catholic association of laymen formed in the 11th cent. in Lombardy. They wore plain clothes and lived under special vows, but mingled freely with the world. They were protected by the papacy in most of the 12th cent., and some of them were organized into an order or joined other orders. There were occasional defections from the Humiliati to the Waldensians, and some conversions in the other direction. The Humiliati were finally suppressed in the 16th cent. after their orthodoxy had long been questioned.
