Unlike some of your other videos, I had little trouble following this one. One rarely hears about the crusade against the Cathars, so I appreciate your effort. What you do is important; please keep it up!
Two interesting facts: - Peter of Aragón died in the battle of Muret after exchanging his armor with one of his men to prove his courage. When the knight wearing the royal armor was killed, the king himself exclaimed "The King is here!" and then he was surrounded and killed in the same way. That was the beginning of the end of the Albigensian crusade. - Simon de Montfort was killed years later in the siege of Toulouse when a catapult, operated by women, threw a stone that crushed his head.
Its very interesting to hear about these parts of history that are passed over for more controversial and impactful events like the Crusades for Jerusalem. Thank you.
did my first ever history research on this topic back in 4th grade of high school, finding primary sources was quite of a challenge, but that might also be because I didn't really know how to do it back then ;P
Do an episode on the waldensians. I'm not sure if they were founded by peter valdez (valley) in 1170, or if they actually had some continuity from Claudius the Bishop of Turin from 817-827ad as they recorded in their own accounts.
@@samuellubell4557 Fasting doesnt equate to starvation the catholics have always fasted but the cathars actually starved themselves to the point of death
Well. Cathars were very out-there, but killing them in that Crusade was completely unnecessary. And this comment comes from a Catholic who absolutely disapproves of Gnosticism (of which Cathars were a branch of).
That's got to be the shittiest castle I've ever seen. It's a grey blob with some circles cut into it. I couldn't even work out what the fuck I was looking at at first!
The crusade noone talkes about! I come here from Kings and generals bouvine Clip where they mention this breeeeeeifly in The end. Wtf. Why havent i heard about this crusade before Now?
there are still a few branches of the gnostic church today, alot of gnostics fled into russia & the crimea where bogomilism had a toehold. Also you find alot of gnosticism cropping up in the greek churchs monastic communities, Monastics tend to preserve what eccleiastics try to destroy. Lastly the Gnostic Catholic Church regulary preforms the gnostic mass, its written down on their website if you are interested
@@conlaiarlaYes. And all of this for "hidden knowledge"? God never hid His knowledge from anyone, and it's easy to see why Gnosticism was hunted down to extinction, with whatever remainders forced to go into hiding as of today.
they were an abominable heresy, they regarded the body and everything physical as pure evil, and one soul could only be saved by freeing from the body, that was mixed with universalism, the belief that everyone would be saved. that said, many of them praticed ritualistic suicide, killed infants and prohibited women from getting pregnant. they were so disgusting that the church had to institute the court of inquisition so they would not be lynched and killed by furious population or kings and nobles without a judgement
Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine How is that different from Buddhism (apart from the baby killing)? Also didn't jesus say that physical possessions were evil? Sounds more like the Catholic church didn't like the lack of tithe. "these people are choosing to commit suicide, better slaughter them all, that'll teach them" Yeah ...... that sounds like the people who should decide who are or aren't heretics.
Yes he did, he was the Fifth Earl. His son the 6th Earl had the same name. Do research before you post. “Simon de Montfort, (born 1165?-died June 25, 1218, Toulouse, France), French leader of the Albigensian Crusade declared by Pope Innocent III against the Cathari, an unorthodox religious group in southern France.”
They believed in adult baptism as do many Protestant churches. They rejected marriage for believers, but most Cathar parfaits/parfaites were married (to Catholic husbands in some cases) and had children before becoming parfait Believed in reincarnation (with the body being less important than the soul) - yes, here, they sound more Buddhist or Hindu. A different religion, I agree, with elements picked up from Zoroastrianism (Manicheanism), Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism.
boss180888 Yeah, I call it proto-bolshevik sometimes when I'm talking with friends. But Christianity as been so successfully absorbed by Western Culture that its Semitic origins have been almost completely wiped out.
+Nick Papanicolaou that's been argued about every single Gnostic Heresy and Religion enough with the Cathar strawmans read the Gospel of Truth, and the Gospel of Thomas and you'll see what these people actually believed in rather than the bullshit that the Church wishes to cram down our throat every day.
Without establishing, within the first of four minutes, how Catharism and other heretical sects became important and found footing in Italy, France and Spain to begin with, why would anybody be convinced that the remaining minutes are more illuminating than illustration's caption in a childrens' history book? 3 minutes wasted are three I won't get back. Moving on.
IIRC, there was a belief that the distinction of sex was in no way transcendent, and that souls were simply reincarnating souls. With this in mind, and operating under the assumption the material world is essentially a bunch of bullshit, you couldn't really justify the deeply misogynistic worldview most of medieval Christendom held.
3 minute history in 4:17. Your just about as accurate with your time as you are with your presentation. As appealing as it is to people who will probably never bother to read a few books and become more informed; why don’t you just take the time to do it right and do it justice?
