Who were the Good Men? (Cathars)

Catharism is a movement of Christian religious history from the 10th to the 12th centuries, finding a particular echo in the south of France. The critical spirit of the Cathars confronted the Catholic Church of Rome. The Bonshommes rejected materialism, war, feudal values and wanted to return to the original austerity. Nature, the roads, were their daily places to pray.
