Commission to Preach
The church recognized the need to
combat the heresies that were prevalent at the time of St. Dominic.
St. Dominic was commissioned by the church to become a part of a preaching
crusade. Here Dominic is shown receiving his commission from Sts. Peter
and Paul.
St. Dominic saw that the preaching
had little effect because the preachers traveled in grand style.
He began using an itinerant style of preaching with 3 Cistercians.
This approach proved to be extremely successful, especially among the
ordinary people.
