About this audiobook
The Cathars were different from the mainstream Catholic church in the 13th century. They openly rebelled against some of the hypocritical behavior by priests and leaders, and they established their own deviant beliefs according to the best ability of their conscience.
But when it all came down to it, what did this mean? What were those belief systems? How did they look at God, Satan, the purpose of life, or equality between the sexes, sexuality itself, or any other principle they embraced? What did they think of the crusades in the Middle East? And how did it all end for them?
Learn more about the Cathars, a community that made a significant impact during a time of dictatorships, massacres, and persecution of supposed heretics.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This the very best books I have listened to, and that is the reason I am taking a tiny second to publish a customer review about it. Not bad in any way. I feel it's one of the very best audio books on the market. It's an intriguing principle, the entire premise of this book. You don't normally see that in other books. And that's the reason that it can use a person like me to write a few positive aspects of it.
