"Be assiduous in the extermination of the heresy by all means! God will inspire
you!" – The Pope appealed to the Crusaders. And the messengers of the church really
did their best...

– Tell me, Sever. Did any cave dweller manage to live long enough to see the day
when he could go out to the surface without fear of being caught? Did anybody manage
to keep his life?

In the corner of the cave there is a small “fireplace” in which they are still “getting cold”
petrified coals ...
– Unfortunately, nobody did, Isidora. The Cathars of Montsegur did not live that
long..., although, as I just told you, there were other Cathars who existed in Occitania
for a long time. The last Cathar was exterminated only a century later. But their life

was already completely different, more secret and dangerous. The people frightened
by the Inquisition betrayed them, wishing to save their own lives by treachery.
Therefore some Cathars moved to the caves and some settled down in the forests. But
that happened much later and they were more prepared to live this kind of life. As for
those Cathars whose relatives and friends died in Montsegur, they did not want to live
long with their pain. Deeply grieving for the deceased and being tired of hatred and
persecutions, they finally decided to join them in another, more kind and pure, life.
There were about five hundred persons, including old men and children. Also four
Perfect ones came from the neighbouring town to help them.
In the night of their voluntary "leaving" the unfair and wicked material world all
the Cathars went outside to breathe the wonderful spring air for the last time and once
again to glance at the familiar shining of their beloved distant stars... to where their
tired exhausted Cathar soul will fly very soon.
