The Cathars and the Templars – one a persecuted faith, the other a warrior order – were both accused of heresy, both hunted by the Church, and both left behind a legacy that still haunts history. Journey into their lost world in this online talk.
Who were the Cathars, these so-called 'Good Men and Women' who taught that the material world was an illusion, and that true freedom lay in the light beyond? What vision of truth and courage sustained them, even as flames consumed their bodies? And what of the Templars – warrior-monks who rose to immense power, only to be destroyed by the very Church they served? Were their ties to the Cathars mere coincidence, or did they share a secret bond strong enough to threaten Rome itself?
In this online talk, we journey into their lost world to uncover Cathar origins, beliefs, and key texts, from the Book of the Two Principles to the Gospel of John, and the noble families who risked all to protect them. We'll follow the Templars through Occitania, exploring whispered alliances, rumoured refuges, and the shadowy threads that wove these two groups together.
From the sacrifice at Montségur to the trials that ended the Templars, theirs is a story of blood, faith, and silence. Yet some truths refuse to die.
