"The Cathars believed that they needed no priests to intercede with God on their behalf. For a Cathar, Christ was directly accessible. They denied the power and purpose of the priesthood – and this the Church could not tolerate… Thus the Albigensian Crusade began."

"6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

"When I heard these things, I, John, turned away from the temple and went off to a deserted mountainous place. I was very unhappy, saying to myself:

"How was the Savior designated?
Why did his Father send him into the world?
Who is his Father?
What kind of realm will we go to?

For, although he told us, ‘This realm is modeled on the imperishable realm,’
He didn't teach us about the latter.”"

"13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
