I didn't know what an Albigenses was, but this is what i found...

Albigenses


A heresy during the middle ages that developed in the town Albi in Southern France. This error taught that there were two gods: the good god of light usually referred to as Jesus in the New Testament and the god of darkness and evil usually associated with Satan and the "God of the Old Testament." Anything material was considered evil including the body which was created by Satan. The soul, created by the good god, was imprisoned in the evil flesh and salvation was possible only through holy living and doing good works. At death, if the person has been spiritual enough, salvation comes to the believer. But, if the person has not been good enough, he is reincarnated as an animal or another human. The Albigenses denied the resurrection of the body since it was considered evil.

It goes on to say Pope Innocent III had them wiped out.

thankyou both of you for that enlightening information...I think it is a tragedy that the catholics slaughtered them if all they had done wrong was held to wrong teaching...I think a simple correction would have sufficed

actually my husband tells me that the Albigensians were bible believers and it was the catholic church that spread lies that they held to those beliefs that you have given me...I guess that would be similar to the lie about the pope being infallible
