Svetlana de Rohan-Levashova.   Revelation

            cracked at last...

                  A horror-stricken young mother held out her child to a knight in supplication. A
            second later she held in her hands two even halves...
                  A little girl, crying in fear, offered her doll, her most cherished treasure, to a
            knight. The head of the doll was off and a moment later her owner’s curly head rolled
            on the floor like a ball...

                  I could not stand it anymore and, bitterly sobbing, I fell on my knees... Was it
            HUMANS doing this?!. WHAT is the word (is there one?) for those who commited this
                   11
            evil?!
                  I did not want to look at it further! I had no strength left... But Sever cruelly
            continued  to    show  some  cities  and  burning  churches  in  them...  These  cities  were
            absolutely empty. Thousands of the dead bodies covered their streets and rivers of
            human blood run through them. Wolves feasted on the streets of the deserted cities,
            sinking in human blood...
                  I was frozen in horror and pain, unable to breathe or stir...

                  What must "people" who gave similar orders feel?
                  I think, they felt nothing at all, because their ugly and stale souls were darker than
                                 12
            the blackest night.
                  Suddenly I saw a very beautiful castle the walls of which were ruined by catapults
            in some places, but mainly it remained intact. The courtyard was stuffed with dead
            bodies drowning in pools of blood. They all had their throats cut...
                  – This is Lavaur, Isidora... a very beautiful and rich city. Its walls were the most
            unassailable. But Simon de Monfort, the ringleader of the Crusaders, was so enraged
            by unsuccessful attempts to take the city that he called on all the rag tag and bobtail
            he could find for help and... 15,000 "soldiers of Christ" which had responded to his
            call  attacked  the  fortress...  Lavour  fell,  unable  to  withstand  the  onslaught;  all  its
            habitants, including 400 (!!!) Perfect ones, 42 troubadours and 80 knight-defenders
            were brutally slaughtered by the "holy" executioners. Here, in the courtyard, you see
            only the knights who protected the city and those who could handle a weapon. Others
            (except for the burned Cathars) were simply left to rot on the streets after they had
            been massacred... The killers found 500 women and children in the municipal basement
            of the city. They were all atrociously killed right in there... without letting them come
            outside.
                  A handsome well dressed young woman was brought into the courtyard. She was
            shackled. Her appearance provoked drunken whooping and loud laughter. Somebody
            coarsely took her shoulders and threw her into a well. Muted moans and screams were


           11
              7000 inhabitants of Bezier were burnt in Maria Magdalena’s church on July, 22. It was the Golden Maria’s birthday.
           They were executed together with 222 Perfect ones. Altogether more than 20 000 inhabitants of the city were exterminated,
           which was all the population of the city. When a confused Crusader asked the Papal Legate Arnaud- Amaury how he could
           distinguish the Cathars from the Catholics, the Legate uttered his famous phrase: "Kill them all! Surely the Lord discerns
           which ones are his". It happened exactly in Bezier.

           12
              The King of France Philip August and Pope Innocent III calmly observed the burning of "heretics", i.e. the Cathars. Is it
           not an irony that the Pope’s name was Innocent?
