Chasing the Heretics: A Modern Journey Through the Medieval LanguedocTracing the remains of a vicious historical drama through the alluring villages and countryside of southern France, Rion Klawinski animates the theological ideas and political realities behind the Catholic Church's 13th-century Albigensian Crusade against a heretical sect of passivists known as the Cathars. The vibrant people and cities of contemporary Languedoc offer a counterpoint to Klawinski's historical explorations, making his journey appealing to tourists, armchair travelers, and history buffs alike. |
