catarismo 5
A heretical Christian doctrine that developed in France, especially in Languedoc, during the twelfth century. The Cathars made a profound vindication of Christianity and called themselves the only true disciples of the apostles, practicing like them absolute poverty and manual labor to live, within communities. They were declared heresy, and Pope Innocent III launched a crusade against them, which lasted 30 years, being the end of the Cathars.
