My mind had forgotten the alt name for the Cathar crusades. Ya learn something knew everyday, eh?? Well, if you're lucky you do.. :-)

I wonder what they burned?? How many books and ancient works did they destroy in their 'crusade' to wipe them out..

The Cathars weren't hurting anyone, weren't demanding land, money etc.. They just lived in peace with their own kind.. The only thing they could have possibly encroached upon is the church...

Don't think I would have like some of the Cathar lifestyle ways but that is their journey and no one else..
