Betsy, there's a fiction book on the Cathars and their fate in the book "All Things Are Lights" written by Robert Shea. I am not a big fan of non-fiction literature so this was perfect for me :-) I had never heard about the Cathars that way before, but I know that some religious groups are based on their beliefs. The Mont Segur was their sanctuary and the christians burned it down and killed all the people who lived there. The catholic church saw a threat in them, so they just killed them off. It's been pretty gruesome. -- Spirit World
