The religious beliefs of the Cathars, which were different from the Church and considered as heresy, the assault on Montsegur is considered as the beginning of the Crusades, with sole purpose being the elimination of other religions considered as competition as was the later Inquisition.Yes, they were but those were not the only reasons as they also had a knowledge that was perceived as a threat, the same knowledge the Cathar's had that also cost them dearly! The Cathars were exterminated, the Templars took the proof to Nova Scotia, in my own humble opinion!
There is no evidence that Cathars possess any physical object for their faith, or that the Templars ever sailed to Nova Scotia beyond speculation of myth, legend, lore, and the always mentioned coconut coir.
Simon de Montfort who conducted the assault upon the Cathars was not a Templar, his son, Simon de Montfort the Younger, was not a Templar, but was a Crusader in the Holy Land.
