The Cathars:  Cathar Beliefs:  Vindication:  Other Teachings

Free agency lies at the core of the Italian «Book of the Two Principles». The Cathars of the Languedoc, however, rejected the notion of free agency, and believed in predestination. Deprived of free agency, they considered that souls were predestined to be saved. This is contrary to the Catholic doctrine of Free Will, but entirely consistent with the Lutheran and Calvinist doctrines of Predesination.

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.
