Is anyone here a Cathar?
I talked to someone who said he was a Cathar, but it was a while back. A search of the What's your religion threads would find him if you're particularly interested.
I don't think there are that many Cathars left, you know, since the Pope ordered that whole town of them killed (which, oddly enough, was the origin of the phrase "Kill them all, let God sort 'em out.")
Yeah, I doubt he was from a long line of Cathars, but he claimed to be one nonetheless. That's interesting I'd never heard where that phrase came from. Where did you hear that?

One of the many discovery channel specials after the whole DaVinci code nonsense.
The Pope, when he was informed that there were women and children in the village, reportedly said "Kill them all, God will find His own."
Thanks to the time between then and now, no one's sure if that was the exact quote or if it was an invention of a later scribe, but that's the origin of that saying.
