Introduction
The Roman Catholic Church fought Tengriism under a number of names, the most known of which are Arianism and Catharism, while the Greek Orthodox Church fought it under the names Khudaiyar in Türkic and its calque Bogomil (God-worshipper) in Slavic. The offshoot of the Greek Orthodox Church, the Russian Orthodox Church fought it by labeling its followers “Judaizers”, but they called themselves “Old Believers”. In every case, that was a multi-faceted fight of Trinity against monotheism, wrapped in the early Christian lingo, with depiction of the theological competitors as Christians, the bad Christians, but the Christians nevertheless. With their profound differences in the adopted historical positions, both the Roman Catholic Church and the Greek Orthodox Church do not acknowledge the Tengrian roots of neither the schism, nor the Türkic ethnic background of the “Bulgars” or “Scythians” that followed the Tengriism in either unadulterated or in Christianized form. However, the glossing over “Bulgars” or “Scythians” carries a great historical load, the the religious history of the Tengriism is as much a part of the Türkic history as are the Huns or Türkic Kaganates.
The sources of the eastern monotheism are readily apparent, although in the Christological theology they are camouflaged under different names and falsely attributed to the recognized early Christian luminaries, who in fact had nothing to do with the effects ascribed to them, Arian had nothing to do with “Arianism”, St-Augustine had nothing to do with “Catharism”. This religion came to the Central and Western Europe with the kurgans and Kurgan people in the 4th millennia BC. Only in the beginning of the 1st millennia AD it became an enemy of the bifurcated canonized Christianity on its roll to gain primacy in the Northern and Eastern Europe. The map below is correct only partially: the Bulgars came from the Great Bulgaria in the N.Pontic, and so came the Goths, and the Alans, the Huns, and all people of the Hunnic circle. By the 2nd millennia AD they resettled across Europe, occupied aristocratic positions among their tribesmen and locals, probably largely lost their mother tongue, but continued following the precepts of the millennium-old religion.
The dateline reads as a series of mass murders. Funny, for devoted parishioners, their church did nothing wrong. For them, mass murder was a normal course of ecclesiastical events, not needing attention, acknowledgement, or apology. They do care about individual abortions, though, and find it despicable.

Posting Introduction
The polarized versions of the Arian and Cathar movements in English-language literature rivet on the terminology and narrative of the Roman Catholic Church, independent of the viewer's position. The narrative of the Orthodox Church is different, since it is in opposition to both sides, and thus allows a somewhat less biased, though not much more truthful or kind, account; both Churches are busy minimizing and distracting from the past violence when they could inflict it unrestrained. The following is an extract from the monograph composed by an adherent of the Russian Orthodox Church. The reference to the Eastern Paulicians and Bogomils alludes not to the Tengrian Church in Armenia and Bulgaria, but to the Roman Catholic vague definitions in its fictitious and sanitized version of each one.
| DATELINE | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Time | Period | Events | |
| BC-AD | 100 BC - AD 100 sees the flourishing of Gnosticism in the Middle East, including one of the three main strands of early Christianity. | ||
| 216 | Birth of Manes (Mani):. Manes, a minor member of Persian royalty, was born in Mesopotamia, and was executed for his new religion (incorporating dualist beliefs) in AD 277. | ||
| 1100 | early eleventh century | Theodora, Empress of Byzantium, had a multitude of Paulicians put to death. | |
| 1012 | The first Cathars known in Europe were noted in the Limousin. | ||
| 1022 | King Robert II of France (996-1031) had thirteen distinguished citizens, ecclesiastic and lay, burnt alive at Orleans “because he feared for the safety of the kingdom and the salvation of souls”. Ten were canons of the église collégiale de Sainte-Croix (Church of the Holy Cross) and another had been confessor to Queen Constance. They were described, in Medieval fashion, as Manichæans, meaning they were dualists. They died steadfast in their beliefs despite torture. This action earned the king the soubriquet Robert the Pious. | ||
| 1022 | Several Cathars were discovered and put to death at Toulouse. | ||
| 1028 | Catholic Council of Charroux is convened at the suggestion of Guillaume V of Aquitaine. The Council is charged with devising a way of combating religious (Cathar) “error”. | ||
| 1045 | Roger, Bishop of Chalons, observed that the sect was spreading in his diocese, and asked of Wazo, Bishop of Liège, advice as to the use of force. | ||
| 1049 | Catholic Council of Reims convened to formulate an understanding of Cathar beliefs. | ||
| 1051 | At Goslar, in the Christmas season of 1051, and in 1052, (Cathar) “heretics” were hanged because Holy Roman Emperor Henry III wanted to prevent the spread of “the heretical leprosy”. | ||
| 1056 | Catholic Council of Toulouse threatened Cathar “heretics” with excommunication if they did not repent. | ||
| 1077 | In 1076 or 1077, a Cathar is condemned to the stake by the Bishop of Cambrai. Other Cathars are given a choice, by the magistrates of Milan, of converting to Catholicism or being burnt at the stake. Most chose to be burned at the stake. | ||
| 1118 | the Emperor Alexius Comnenus has a number of Bogomils executed. (possibly triggering a move of survivors into Western Europe.) | ||
| 1119 | Catholic Council of Toulouse: Presided over by Pope Calixtus II, this Council charged the secular powers with responsibility for dealing with “heretics” severely. | ||
| 1135 | Catholic Council of Pisa. A cleric, Henri du Mans, disowns his “errors” (though he later re-adopts them). | ||
| 1139 | Second (Catholic ) Lateran Council. Presided over by Pope Calixtus II, this council again stresses that the secular powers must take rigorous action against the heretics. | ||
| 1142 | Bogomils are burnt in Cologne. | ||
| 1144 | A Catholic mob storms a prison where the Bishop of Soissons keeps heretics imprisoned, and burns them alive. A similar incident occurs at Liège, though a few are rescued from the fire. Yet another similar incident happens at Cologne. | ||
| 1148 | Catholic Council of Reims. This council decrees that Lords harbouring “heretics” on their land will be treated as their accomplices. | ||
| 1157 | Catholic Council of Reims. This council lays out repressive procedures against the “heretics”. | ||
| 1163 | Catholic Council of Tours. Presided over by Pope Alexander III, this Council establishes a less unjust and arbitrary procedure against the Cathars. | ||
| 1165 | Council at Lombez. Condemnes the boni homines. | ||
| 1167 | Cathar Council held in Saint-Félix de Caraman. This council established an administrative organisation in the Languedoc and agreed matters of doctrine. It was presided over by Nicetus, the Cathar bishop of Constantinople, who had travelled from Bulgaria. | ||
| 1167 | Execution of seven Burgundian Cathars at the stake in Vézelay. | ||
| 1179 | Third (Catholic) Lateran Council. Presided over by Pope Alexander III, this council attempts to restore the tattered dignity of the Catholic Clergy. It also anathematises the Cathar “heresy”. | ||
| 1180-1181 | Henry, cardinal-bishop of Albano, raises an armed expedition against the stronghold of “heretics” at Lavaur a fief of Raymond Roger, viscount of Béziers. He takes Lavaur and forces the submission of Raymond-Roger. . | ||
| 1183-1206 | Over an extended period, Bishop Hugo of Auxerre attacks a number of neo-Manichæans. Some are despoiled, some exiled, and some sent to the stake. . | ||
| 1195 | Catholic Council of Montpellier | ||
| 1197-8 | In 1197, Peter II the Catholic (1196-1213), King of Aragon and Count of Barcelona, issues an edict in obedience to which the Waldensians and all other schismatics are to be expelled from the land.

| 1204 | King Philip Augustus of France has several Cathars burned at Braisne-sur-Vesle, and many Cathars burned at Paris, including priests, clerics, laymen, and women. | ||
| 1204 | February | Peter II of Aragón convenes a debate in Carcassonne between Catholics and Cathars (followed by a second one between Catholics and Waldensians). | |
| 1204 | Cathar Council of Mirepoix. The proceedings are largely unknown, but it is
possible that Raymond de Pereille was asked to rebuild the Château of
Montségur (
Montsegùr) to provide a Cathar stronghold. |
||
| 1206 | Preachings of Dominic Gúzman (later St Dominic) to the Cathars in the Languedoc. In spite of his reputed eloquence, Saint Dominic fails to convince the “heretics” to renounce their beliefs. Recognising the Roman Church's failure, Pope Innocent III declares all southern fiefs forfeit. He also called on the lords of France to take part in the crusade against the Languedoc. | ||
| 1206 | Esclaremonde of Foix, the Count's sister, is administered the Consolamentum, so becoming a Parfaite. | ||

| 1208 | 15 January | Murder of Pierre de Castelneau as he is about to cross the River Rhone in Saint-Gilles following an unsatisfactory meeting with Raymond V. The killer is identified as an officer of Raymond VI of Toulouse. | |
| 1209 | Council of Avignon. Although there is no evidence against him, Raymond VI of Toulouse is excommunicated again. | ||
| 1209 | 18th of January | Submission of Raymond VI of Toulouse. Stripped to the waist, Raymond is flogged in public on the spot at Saint-Gilles where Pierre de Castelnau had been killed. He was then authorised to lead a crusade against his own subjects, required to discriminate against his Jewish subjects, and absolved from his supposed sins. | |
| 1209 | June | Initiation of the Crusade. The crusade is preached throughout Europe, and an army raised mainly from the areas now comprising northern France. The crusading army is mustered under the command of Arnaud Amoury the Cistercian Abbot of Cîteaux. Tens of thousands of Crusaders are enlisted. They are mainly Northern French, keen for plunder, the remission of their sins, and an assured place in Heaven. They are crusaders in every sense, wearing the crusaders cross and enjoying all of their privileges (protection of goods, suspension of debts, and so on). | |
| 1209 | 22nd of July | The Massacre at Béziers. On 22 July 1209 the Crusader army arrived at Béziers on the periphery of the area in the Languedoc where Cathars flourished. There were believed to be around 200 Cathars in the town among a much greater population of sympathetic Catholics. The crusading army sacked and looted the town indiscriminately, while townspeople retreated to the sanctuary of the churches. Arnaud Amoury, the Cistercian abbot-commander is said to have been asked how to tell Cathar from Catholic. His reply, recorded later by a fellow Cistercian, demonstrated his faith: “Kill them all - the Lord will recognise His own”. The doors of the church of St Mary Magdalene were broken down and the occupants slaughtered. 7,000 people died in the church including women, children, clerics and old men. Elsewhere many more thousands were mutilated and killed. Prisoners were blinded, dragged behind horses, and used for target practice The town was razed. Arnaud, the abbot-commander, wrote to his master the Pope: “Today your Holiness, twenty thousand citizens were put to the sword, regardless of rank, age, or sex”. Reportedly, not a single person survived. | |
| 1209 | 1st to the 15th of August | Siege of Carcassonne. From 1st to 15th of August Carcassonne is besieged. Its Viscount, Raymond-Roger Trencavel, is seized during a truce and without their commander the inhabitants surrender. The Crusaders expel the inhabitants with a day's safe conduct, so that they can loot at leisure. Arnaud writes to the pope to explain why on this occasion no-one had been killed. It is at this stage that Simon de Montfort is appointed to hold Raymond-Roger's territories. | |
| 1209 | 10th of November | Death of Raymond-Roger Trencavel in mysterious circumstances, in his own prison. | |
| 1210 | Siege of Bram. When the castle at Bram falls in 1210, 100 prisoners have their noses cropped, their lips cut off and their eyes gauged out. One man is left with one eye so that he can guide the others away. With a hand on the shoulder of the one in front, and the one-eyed man at their head, a file of blind prisoners winds its way to Lastours (Cabaret), a visible demonstration of the ineffable mercy of God's Army. | ||
| 1210 | February | Simon de Montfort fails repeatedly to capture the Castles of Lastours (Cabaret) | |
| 1210 | Early June | The “Montréal Meeting” is convened between Peter II of Aragón and Languedoc lords. The lords were prepared to swear allegiance to the king in return for his support. The negotiation fell through. | |
| 1210 | 22 July | Capture of Minerve. Following a six-week siege, 150 Cathar men and women are burned alive when they refuse to abjure their faith. The Cistercian Vaux de Cernay notes that it was not necessary to throw them to the flames, for they went voluntarily. They claimed that “neither death nor life can separate us from the faith to which we are joined”. Their behaviour seems to have impressed some of their persecutors, but not enough to raise qualms about killing them. | |
| 1210 | 22nd of August- November | Siege of Termes, which fell after a four-month siege. | |
| 1211 | Council of Montpellier, at which Raymond VI of Toulouse is excommunicated for the third time. | ||
| 1211 | Early March | Surrender of Cabaret, under diplomatic rather than military pressure. | |
| 1211 | 3rd of May | Capture of Lavaur. Lavaur falls after a siege, after which the French crusaders excel even themselves in cruelty and disregard for the accepted rules of war. Aimeric-de-Montréal and 90 knights are hanged. The chatelaine, Geralda de Lavaur, is thrown alive into a well which is then filled with stones until her screams can no longer be heard. As in all other cases, Cathar Parfaites decline to abjure their faith. 400 cathars are burned by the crusaders, “with great joy” as de Cernay noted. (The crusaders generally burned people alive with great joy - cum ingenti gaudio). One Parfaits allegedly renounced his faith. The rest sing as they are being led to the pyres. | |

Raymond VI of Toulouse goes into exile, seeking refuge with his Plantagenate relative King John of England. | |
| 1215 | May | Surrender of Toulouse to Simon de Montfort | |
| 1215 | 1st of June | Prince Louis and Simon de Montfort enter Toulouse | |
| 1215 | November | Fourth Lateran Council. This Council was the main even of Innocent III's pontificate. Pope Innocent expanded Gregory VII's claims to temporal as well as spiritual matters, trying to impose a theocracy on the Christian world. A practical application of these temporal claims was the purported dispossession of Raymond VI of Toulouse whose estate was allotted to Simon de Montfort, who thus adopted the title Count of Toulouse. | |
| 1216 | May-24th of August | Siege of Beaucaire. Raymondet, the son of Raymond VI of Toulouse, the future Raymond VII of Toulouse, lands in Marseille and besieges Beaucaire. When de Montfort leaves Toulouse to intervene, the inhabitants of Toulouse seize the opportunity to revolt (see next). | |
