Thanks! Things old are indeed new again. But I had it that it was Simon de Montfort at Montsegur with the infamous papal guidance. Must have a book around here somewhere. You know, those things made out of piled-up paper? Huh. Just joking. Same point, regarding evil of exclusive marketing rights for god....

Thanks I had for decades thought the same, but I couldn't remember his name, and when I googled it, surprise, Arnaud Almaric came up. So I went with that, much more likely.

Off hand, I suspect that some clergy, blamed it on Montfort rather than a rep of the church

Here is his bio per Encyclopedia Brittanica https://www.britannica.com/biography/Simon-de-Montfort

Here is wikipedia on Arnaud Almaric, and the quote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnaud_Amalric
