This book explores Catharism, considered by some as an evangelical religion and by others as a heresy. Although the distinction was not clear in the 12th century, the Church perceived the risk and acted firmly under the leadership of Innocent III to eradicate the heresy. The crusade against the Albigensians devastated the Occitan society of Languedoc, dragging with it figures such as Peter I the Catholic. Shortly after, Languedoc would be integrated into the Kingdom of France. The author, Jesús Mestre i Godes, offers a deep study of the relations between the Church and civil society, presenting the history in an accessible way for the general public.
