Cathars: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

The Roman Catholic Church, the most powerful Christian association at the time, wrongly labelled the Cathari as devil-worshippers. The Roman Catholic Church claimed that the Cathari were a part of a long line of Satanic churches originating in Bulgaria, originally founded by a Persian [[false prophet]] (sometimes identified as Mani Hayya, the founder of [[Manicheaism]]).

This pseudo-historical myth, though a complete fantasy, was what inspired by (innocently) [[Pope Innocent III]] to order a "[[Albigensian Crusade]]" in the summer of 1209. This led to the death of at least 200,000 people who were labelled as Cathari devotees and [[Heresy|heretics]]. Inquisition records from this time show that most of the people identified as Cathari did not see themselves as heretics at all, leading to questions about the true nature of the [[Crusades|crusade]] and it's resultant [[genocide]] being the result of a [[moral panic]].
