Summary

The Cathars were different from the mainstream Catholic church in the 13th century. They openly rebelled against some of the hypocritical behavior by priests and leaders, and they established their own deviant beliefs according to the best ability of their conscience.

But when it all came down to it, what did this mean? What were those belief systems? How did they look at God, Satan, the purpose of life, or equality between the sexes, sexuality itself, or any other principle they embraced? What did they think of the crusades in the Middle East? And how did it all end for them?

Learn more about the Cathars, a community that made a significant impact during a time of dictatorships, massacres, and persecution of supposed heretics.

A Gallop Through Cathar History

There was a decent explanation of Cathar belief and how it differed from Roman Catholic beliefs, The main characters were all mentioned, at least, but quite superficially - I would love to have listened to a book four times as long, giving the background to the main characters, what they hoped to gain, the politics of the time, eye-witness accounts, the likelihood of the history we've been given by those involved at the time being accurate
