A2337:Was not Catharism a Christian sect? I'll answer for you. Yes. In fact Cathars were purest Christians and unadulterated, untainted by the Catholic church. Don't make erroneous statements where you get caught not knowing what you are talking about. If you had used Wikipedia, you wouldn't be so ignorant of facts.

Me: I didn't need Wikipedia to know about Cathars. I still do that one thing...you know...read a book. Cathars were dualists, they believed there were two equal gods, one of love/goodness and one of evil. The god of love was the unseen force, the immaterial, that existed in the realm of spirits so to say. The god of evil was all about the material world, thus by us existing in the material form we were inherently evil and Cathars attempted to transcend that to join the god of love in the spirit realm.

Trust me, as a Templar and Grail history nut, the Cathars have come up a few times and I studied them. When I spoke of Christians over Cathars, I meant mainstream Christians, the ones who denied and attacked the Cathars.
