About this listen

In the middle of the 12th Century an unknown Christian sect emerged in southern France. They claimed to be the sole successors of the original Church of Jesus Christ. They called themselves Cathars. Despite their sincere belief, the Cathars were deemed by the Roman Church to oppose several of their fundamental principles of Christianity. Because of these unorthodox practices the Cathars were outlawed by the Church of Rome, and sentenced to a merciless extinction.

I appreciated the clear underlying research and information into a historically fascinating Christian sect, but the authors' prose was painfully stilted and the reading was equally sing-song [said with sincere apology to both author and reader]. For anyone wanting to come to grips with Cathar beliefs and with the ultimately destructive differences between Cathar and Catholic theology, the deficiencies in prose and delivery style can be forgiven.

Informative about a fascinating Crusader-period sect

Really enjoyed this book about the cathar. I knew scanly about their end only but this book was well researched and delivered a wealth of knowledge about a period of history and beliefs of its time.

Really interesting and informative
