Page "Catharism" Paragraph 12

Bernard of Clairvaux's biographer and other sources accuse some Cathars of Arianism, and some scholars see Cathar Christology as having traces of earlier Arian roots.

According to some of their contemporary enemies Cathars did not accept the Trinitarian understanding of Jesus, but considered him the human form of an angel similar to Docetic Christology.

Zoé Oldenbourg ( 2000 ) compared the Cathars to " Western Buddhists " because she considered that their view of the doctrine of " resurrection " taught by Jesus was, in fact, similar to the Buddhist doctrine of reincarnation.
