Cathars were Christians and thought that physical world was created by The Devil. They were vegerarians, had no feudal hierarchy, promoted equality between men and women and gave no ruling powers to their church. Such heretical views ensured brutal persecution by The Inquisition, and ultimatley they were all burned. 143_4380c_Tuchan_Queribus Peyrepetuse (meaning 'Pierced Rock') and Quierbus (meaning Oak) which guards a pass in the ridge.
