Today's the first of four episodes on the Cathars, a series which is going to be much more relevant to P2C's interests than you might initially think. This episode is very much a straightforward account of the history of the Cathars, their origins and beliefs, an account of the Albigensian Crusade, the inquisition, and and overview of the modern-day neo-Cathar movement, such as it is. Big payoffs in this series in episodes 3 and 4.
