Wait, so one of the biggest threats to the Catholic Church, the Cathars, were asexual cultists that loved eating eggs, fish and veggies? I can't understand why these guys were popular. It's seems to me that the Catholic view of eating, drinking, loving and then paying it all off via indulgences would be waaaay more popular . Was there popularity just blown up to stamp out a heretical branch of Christianity? I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that the Cathars would grow to be such a huge problem that an Inquisition and Crusade were launched against them.

Grand Prize Winner posted:I wrote an essay a couple years ago on the Cathars. Can't remember much about it, but if I dig it up do you want it? It's undergrad-level writing/research, but not terrible. Sure. I'd love to know more about them then just "Crazy sexless cult"

Anyone catch Vikings last night? I missed it but am curious how accurate it is in comparison to the period.
