Cathism had great splendor in the Middle Ages and the Association for the Study of Cathar Culture studies, recovers and promotes its universal values. We work in numerous areas and with various projects, in a non-profit way, for the knowledge of the peaceful ways of life that have existed throughout history throughout the world.
La Asociación
The Association for the Study of Cathar Culture, is the union of hearts from where we work to spread the principles and ideals of Catarism, a great movement that arrived, from the Slavic countries (where it was called Bogomilismo) in the 10th century, to the ancient region of Occitania, located in the southeast of France and northeast of Spain, spreading throughout Spain and other parts of Europe. Currently the Qatars return to recover this way of life that changed Europe in the middle of the Middle Ages.
Catarism rescues the universal concept of goodness in the world. It implies the full conviction that life is possible without the language of evil. That is why the Cathars carry out an important work of diffusion of the true condition of man as to be kind and yather of peace. They proclaim a world in which the reconquest of goodness and purity is possible.

Los Castillos Cátaros
Los Castillos Cátaros
Cathar castles were masterpieces of another civilization. Its mystery lies in its unique architecture. The rooms, placed in a geometrically benevolent way, wonderfully transported the soul to another dimension, to the heavenly spheres with special airs and vibrations. The architecture of the castles is no less mysterious than that of the pyramids of Egypt. In them there are entrances to the bright living, to the good worlds beyond the limits. The perfect ones had esoteric maps that came from the ancient era of the Atlanteans, who went from one initiate to another. On the maps were marked the sacred capitals of the world, the pillars on which the Earth rests.
The scrolls contained instructions on the eternal places where the castles of the Grail were to be. They were places with unique architectural music, where the archetypes of wisdom, kindness and love were manifested.
Montsegur
The fortification of Montsegur was from the beginning of the thirteenth century refuge of perfect and good Cathar men. But in the wake of the persecutions, the number of perfect and initiates that arrived there escaped from the inquisitors grew. It eventually became the last but spiritually strongest Cathar community. A fortified enclosure, with a tower and numerous houses formed a Cathar village where entire families settled, in total they were about a thousand people.
The siege of Montsegur lasted almost a year. Troops of the French royal army stormed the fortress several times, unsuccessfully. The end of the resistance came for a betrayal. But they did not betray their conscience, they did not break the promise never to answer evil with evil.
