Anybody know anything about Cathars?

Question

If you don't know them by that name, you could know them as, Albigenses.

Answer 1

Two for the price of one:

Cathars
12-13th century heretics. Considered most radical heretical group. Rejected trinity, Jesus as only son, god as creator. "true church" Two principles, gods, each of whom created their own universe of good and evil. Rejected worldly attributes. Ascetic. By early 13th century had developed their own infrastructure. Christ was emissary from God, not incarnate, who came to save souls of imprisoned fallen angels in human bodies. Pope Innocent III in 1209 declared a crusade against Cathars. Only 14 remained at turn of 14th century.

Waldensians
Waldis of Leon, the poor in spirit, sandal wearers. Preachers-the perfect. Apostolic life. Rejected church hierarchy. Early 13th century taught that only ordained could administer sacraments. After 1218 any good man or women could consecrate the Eucharist. 1211 80+ burned at Strasburg. By reformation 15th century, Waldensians incorporated into protestant movement. Only one to have achieved this. Part of Presbyterian order now.

Answer 2

The Dhaxem Concept of Rational Spirituality is the reproduction of the Cathar teachings in the language of the 21st Century. For this, and more information about the Cathar teachings, click on the link below. You can read also "What is Spirituality?" and "About Cathars" on the same website.

Much of the information that is traditionally conveyed about the Cathars is not correct for all branches of Catharism, e.g. that their priests and priestesses, the perfects and perfectas, were not allowed to have a family life. Their leader, Thomas De Montsegur was married, and he and his wife, they both were perfects.

Answer 3

The Cathars are an example of the extreme brutality of the Catholic church against fellow Christians. Innocent (check out that name) III launched a crusade against them, and perverts of the inquisition burned many at the stake, although not for their own perverted pleasure as everyone thinks.

Answer 4

yet yet another large question, and what a type of superb solutions, this type of day ! i admire lots of the solutions, however the only that went 'Clang' with me replaced into Phil. He touched on between the few issues that I 'comprehend'. i'm not surely helpful that we 'comprehend' this for precisely the comparable motives, yet probable we do, or close sufficient to not make very various distinction. we are, certainly, making this all up as we flow alongside, the full ingredient, 'previous', 'modern' and 'destiny', all of it. the large 'problems that are the 'reason' in the back of all the obvious 'Paradox' are that the 'place' from which we are making this all up is conscious neither 'Time' nor 'area', for that reason we are very very reminiscent of style of Cosmic movie Makers. we can 'movie' slightly right here, and 'movie' slightly there, and later, interior the 'enhancing room' we can sew all of it jointly. of direction we don't continuously agree, and so we'd desire to flow back and edit as quickly as extra, purely like quite a few solid movie. yet interior the tip i'm helpful that each and each human beings will produce our own, individual, very final 'Director's decrease' in this point of adventure, purely till now we proceed onto the subsequent ! So .... how do all of us comprehend something ? we don't, we purely attempt each little thing and then see what appeared to 'artwork' the final for us. yet i'm unsure that there'll ever come a 'time' interior the relative realm, as quickly as we'd have all written the 'very final be conscious' on 'All it fairly is'. :-))) {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Cosmic information}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Answer 5

Whew!, wow, that was a long time ago. I remember the name. Okay, I peeked at wikipedia. I am not sure that wiki has it correct. The catholic church murdered all of them, as well as nearly 50 million others over a period of time. I just don't remember, and don't trust wikipedia.
