«Els càtars» is the historical essay by Jesús Mestre i Godes, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (256 pages, in Catalan).
Jesús Mestre i Godes's essay analyses Catharism as a religious problem and political pretext: a medieval religious movement that was persecuted and that secular power used as justification for intervention. It reviews its origins, its expansion and the persecution it suffered, within the framework of tensions between Church and civil society.
The work bears the subtitle «Problema religiós, pretext polític» and is part of the collection «Llibres a l'Abast». First edition: 2 December 1994.
Those interested in medieval history and the relations between Church and civil society; Mestre i Godes's plain style brings the work closer to the public.
