In 1244, over two hundred Cathars were burned alive at Montségur. The Church called it victory. The mountain called it awakening. Their fire became prophecy.
🌿The Cathar community must have been so wonderful, full of enlightened souls & advanced thinkers; & Montsegur such a peaceful hilltop with beautiful views of hills all around, as far as the eye could see.🌿It’s sobering & disheartening to witness the Good Men & Women being killed by Empire, as has happened way too often throughout history. God’s Love cannot be destroyed, & yes we can know God without bishops interceding for us.🙏

The Empire always fears those who remember that love needs no license.
Montségur was not just a hill, it was a mirror showing the Church what Christ actually looked like before they replaced him with a crown and a sword.
Yes, a beautiful community, the best of Christianity.🌅The siege of Montsegur reminds me of the siege of Megiddo.
This story always gives me deja vu with a side of hair raising shivers. You tell it beautifully. Thank you.
