      I’m so sorry that happened to you. I read a novel years ago that involved the Cathars and the massacre of them. It was fantasy based in that the main character could move from the present to the time of the Cathars. I lost the book and don’t remember the name of it. I would love to find it again.

    Absolutely amazing, and such a beautiful place. The level of dedication amongst the archeological specialists is humbling. One has been there for 30 plus years, another began working there as a teenager - so impressive.
    I don’t know enough about the Cathars , but I think that their ideas about, and rejection of the physical church and it’s organisation, ceremony, hierarchy etc as being “evil” were incredibly interesting and not far wrong.
    Given the amount of appalling abuse uncovered (finally) in recent times,
    I can’t imagine what the situation was like centuries ago.

    There are records of the trial of Cathars by the Inquisition. The best overview is a book called Montaillou about a village where the inquisition held trials. It is based on the extant records. As much as I've read about Monsegur, it was all about the ruins . I had no idea there was a village there on the mountain. Fascinating!

    The eventual fate of Simon de Montfort is quite interesting he moved to his lands in England and became involved in the English Second Barons War of 1261-1265 against the Misrule of HenryIII but was hacked to death at the Battle of Evesham in 1265 but both his sons escaped and the family lost its Extensive English Estates and retreated back to France where eventually the name died out after ending in Heiresses by 1400AD.

      The Simon de Montfort who led the Albigensian crusade died in 1218 and was the father of the Simon de Montfort who led the Baron's war in England. Both were remarkable men. The younger Simon came close to winning the Baron's war and completely transforming English history.

      The name didn't die out as such, their power may have, but the surname Mumford is supposed to be a corruption of at least 3 versions of the name De Montfort, like Monfoort in Holland and Mundeford in Norfolk.

    The Catharsis were no more "Christian" in their beliefs and practices than other "rigorist" sects which rejected creation through dualistic beliefs. Yes, they used "Christian" Scriptures and concepts, similar to the way modern cults do, such as the Mormons. The medieval Church viewed the Cathars as not only a religious threat but also as a political and social threat to the existing medieval world, hence the raising of a "crusade" against them.

    As a "trained" historian, this is nothing more than a hagiography of the Cathars, not really a "History". There is no balance, no explanation of the political history that was part of this--just, 'how sad for the Cathars'.

    • @Libbathegreat
      @Libbathegreat 3 месяца назад

      You really trying to "both sides" a genocide? Because that's what this was. Yes, their beliefs were eccentric, but no more than any other faith group out there. The fact that they gained some localized political clout in the Languedoc and won over some wealthy patrons and was enough for the Church to see them as threat to their supremacy, so they launched a jihad to extirpate them, along with tens of thousands of people who may or may not have even been part of the movement. It's not that complicated.

      By "the faith" you mean "the supremacy of the Catholic Church". That's all this was about. They gained some local political clout and won over some wealthy patrons and that was enough reason for Pope Innocent III to declare a jihad on them, basically a genocide by our modern definition. And they killed tens of thousands of people who probably weren't even themselves Cathars.

    "Cathars" not "Catharsis" in the first sentence below! I challenge anyone to really study the beliefs and practices of the Cathars and tell me that they would choose to live like the Cathar "Perfects" and raise their families in such beliefs. It's easy almost a thousand years later to make the Cathars appear better than they really were. All you have to start with is being trained by our modern society to despise Christianity, particularly the Catholic Church. It's another example of a socially promoted "group think."

    • @terryyakamoto3488
      @terryyakamoto3488 3 месяца назад +3

      I would strongly disagree that the contempt for Christianity comes from social pressures. Rather, the decrease in religious belief comes from the removal of "group think" and the unquestioned belief in authority that Christianity formerly enjoyed. Today, in the western world, people increasingly use evidence and rational decision making in their everyday lives, making claims based upon zero evidence, such as Christianity, look like what they actually are, a security blanket for people who are so fragile they can't contemplate the idea that when they die they won't exist
