#cathars — Public Fediverse posts

Are there any practicing remnants of the Cathars in France or elsewhere? Did any survive the purges of the Inquisition in the 14th century? #christian #christianity #cathars

I will now advocate which I don't do that often.

#TheHistoryOfTheCrusades podcast https://crusadespod.com/
Is one of the top two podcasts I've ever heard. I've paid for #Sharyn s work for years and love every second of it. She takes you through ALL of the crusades, the European christian crusades, the crusades against the #Cathars, the #Baltic crusades and the #Reconquista. But then she takes you to more obscure areas like the #Hussites where #JanZizka confronts violent #Adamite #Nudists.

Followers were described as #Cathars and referred to themselves as Good #Christians; in modern times, they are mainly remembered for a prolonged period of #religious #persecution by the #Catholic #Church, which did not recognize their #unorthodox #Christianity. #intolerance
