The Cathars:  Cathar Beliefs:  Roman Catholic Propaganda:  Incest

There is no evidence that Cathars were given to practice incest.

A modern carving of a dove, representing the Holy Spirit, which Cathars believed dwelt in every Parfait. The sculpture cleverly reflects Cathar belief in that the representation is not a material object.
