Heretics?

[Tirenedon]

I was looking though the game manual from Steam when I came across the Religion section where all the game's religions are listed with their benefits, but I then notices something that I found odd. Each religion had a list of possible heretics. For example Catholic heretics include Bogomilist, Waldensian, Fraticelli, Hussite, Lollard and Socinian... This I found odd as I thought that only Protestant, Reformed and Orthodox will be heretics to Catholics as in EU3 but they have their own sections with their own possible heretics.

Does anyone know what this means?

They are rebels and give some bad modifiers to provinces if they win the siege.
That's how it was in EU3 at least.

I think one of the two need to change names or something as this can indeed be confusing.

Heretics in EU are a little different. Sometimes heretical rebels will rise up, but they don't represent a real religion. If they won in EU3, your country and provinces would get a heresy modifier which would lower taxes and stuff.

That makes sense. I remember Heretic Rebels form EU3 but I never remember seeing any special names for them. They were just heretics. I sill find it odd that Sikhism is a rebel-only heresy of Buddhism and not it's own full religion... :unsure:
