"What is a “Paulician”?"

Paulicians were a sect of Christian dualists originating in Armenia in the seventh century. Basing their theology largely on a belief in the letters of Paul as new revelation they rejected the Old Testament and the much of the New. Their parallels to Calvinism are significant and they actually sided with the Muslims against the Byzantines.

You're kidding, right? A Paulician is one that takes the word of Paul over the rest of the Bible. Various incarnations accepted and rejected various other Scripture over the centuries as they came and went. One version in the 7th century rejected the OT; our current crop accept the non revealed OT as superior to everything else in the Bible except for Paul.
