Catechism of the Orthodox Cathar Church

By Sebastian C Garreau

The Catechism of the Orthodox Cathar Church serves as the first guide to the revival of Catharism in the modern world. Catharism, an ancient and Mediaeval Gnostic and Christian movement, thrived in Europe from the 12th to the 14th Centuries of the Common Era. It was heavily persecuted beginning in 1209 with the Albigensian Crusade. By the close of the 14th Century, no Cathars were left. Recently, a growing interest in Cathars and Catharism worldwide has lead to the need for the true Cathar faith to be born again. That is the purpose of this Catechism and the organization it serves, the Orthodox Cathar Church. It fulfils the prophecy spoken in 14th Century Occitania: 'In 700 years, the laurel shall be green again.' This prophecy is being fulfilled in our time. Modern Cathar Perfectus S.C.G. has been selected to carry out this most humbling and beautiful task: to fertilize and water the laurel so that it may grow again with new intensity and love. Catharism has long been destined to return, and the Orthodox Cathar Church is the spiritual framework that has been needed for so long. The Catechism spells out, for all who are called, how to start local groups dedicated to true Catharism. It is a guide for those who heed the call of the prophecy and recognize the Cathar spirit in themselves.
