¿Sabías que muchos cátaros creían en la reencarnación? ¿Y que pensaban que la salvación pasaba por la renuncia a lo material? ¿Qué relación hay entre los cátaros occitanos y el Santo Grial? ¿Existió el tesoro de Montsegur? ¿Llegaron a suponer un peligro real para la iglesia de Roma? ¿Sabías que existe una relación entre el género literario del amor cortés y el catarismo? ¿Y que los cátaros se negaban a comer carne, solo tenían una oración (el padrenuestro) y no aceptaban limosnas? Oscar Fábrega, historiador especializado en la historia de las religiones, además de exponer y explicar sus creencias, sus rituales y su historia, se hace eco de un sinfín de hechos desconocidos sobre los enigmáticos cátaros del Languedoc. Desde mediados del siglo XII hasta finales del XIII, el movimiento cátaro se alzó por Occitania, el norte de Italia, Flandes, Champaña y Cataluña como una auténtica iglesia alternativa a la de Roma, con su propia organización, su doctrina y un curioso rito iniciático, el consolament. Radicales en sus creencias e impregnados de una profunda espiritualidad, los cátaros protagonizan un período de suma importancia para Occidente. Estos rebeldes de la Edad Media calificaban de fraudulentos los poderes terrenales, rechazaban el materialismo, trataban a las mujeres en términos de igualdad, aceptaban la diferencia de credo, defendían el amor libre y afirmaban que el infierno no existía. Pero, sobre todo, los cátaros pusieron en entredicho la autoridad de la Iglesia y su concepción del bien y del mal, provocando que se tambaleara el sistema de valores impuesto. La respuesta del catolicismo fue tremenda: con el apoyo de la corona francesa, que ansiaba ocupar por fin Occitania, la Iglesia se lanzó a reprimir a sangre y fuego el movimiento cátaro occitano. Y consiguió acabar con ellos.
Did you know that many Cathars believed in reincarnation? And that they thought giving up on material things was essential to save oneself? What is the relationship between the Occitan Cathars and the Holy Grail? Did the treasure of Montsegur exist? Did they come to pose a real danger to the church of Rome? Did you know that there is a relationship between the literary genre of courtly love and Catharism? And that the Cathars refused to eat meat, had only one prayer (the Lord's Prayer) and did not accept alms? Oscar Fabrega, historian specializing in the history of religions, in addition to exposing and explaining their beliefs, their rituals and their history, echoes endless unknown facts about the enigmatic Cathars of Languedoc. From the mid-twelfth century to the end of the thirteenth, the Cathar movement rose in Occitania, northern Italy, Flanders, Champagne and Catalonia as an authentic alternative church to that of Rome, with its own organization, its doctrine and a curious initiation rite, the “consolament”. Radical in their beliefs and imbued with a deep spirituality, the Cathars are the protagonists of a period of great importance for the West. These rebels of the Middle Ages called earthly powers fraudulent, rejected materialism, treated women on equal terms, accepted difference of creed, defended free love and affirmed that hell did not exist. But, above all, the Cathars called into question the authority of the Church and its conception of good and evil, causing the imposed system of values ??to falter. The response of Catholicism was tremendous: with the support of the French crown, which longed to finally occupy Occitania, the Church launched itself to repress the Occitan Cathar movement with blood and fire. And it managed to finish them off.
