The Cathars were a medieval Christian sect with a neo-manichaean philosophy, a heretical gnostic sect, holding that matter was evil and only spirit was good; this was a fundamental challenge to the notion of incarnation, central to Roman Catholic theology. It originated from a reform movement within the Bogomil churches of Dalmatia and Bulgaria calling for a return to the Christian message of perfection, poverty and preaching. They became known as the Albigensians as it gained many adherents in the city of Albi and surrounding area in the twelfth and thirteenth century.

  • The Cathars were a medieval Christian sect with a neo-manichaean philosophy, a heretical gnostic sect, holding that matter was evil and only spirit was good; this was a fundamental challenge to the notion of incarnation, central to Roman Catholic theology. It originated from a reform movement within the Bogomil churches of Dalmatia and Bulgaria calling for a return to the Christian message of perfection, poverty and preaching. They became known as the Albigensians as it gained many adherents in the city of Albi and surrounding area in the twelfth and thirteenth century. The Council of Tours of 1163 declared that all Albigenses "should be imprisoned and their property confiscated". Innocent III's diplomatic attempts to roll back Catharism met with little success. After the murder of the papal legate, Pierre de Castelnau in 1208, Innocent III declared a crusade against Languedoc. He offered the lands of the Cathar heretics to any French nobleman willing to take up arms. The Albigensian Crusade also had a role in the creation and institutionalization of both the Dominican Order and the Medieval Inquisition.
