Albigensian Crusade, Cathar Slaughter, and Church Propaganda
The historical slaughter of the Cathars by the Catholic Church is examined as a primary example of state and religious propaganda. Estimates suggest between 200,000 and one million people were killed during the Inquisition, which began as a tool to seize land and control the population in Southern France. The phrase "kill them all and let God sort them out" is attributed to the Bishop of Toulouse during this period of centralized church expansion.
