To call such a view a "school of thought" would be unfair to both
"schools" and
"thought"."
I beg to differ. The sect still exists in the south of France. One may
deem them as heretics, but they exist, have their theologies and worship
rituals, etc. At one time they were a fair size body of Christians; there
were wars of extermination which they lost and were reduced in size to a
remnant by "real Christians."
It has been a year since I studied them -- that part of Christian History
was a 3 or 4 minute tangential point in one lecture and maybe a page or
two in the text. I seem to recall the name "Parsival" as being associated
with it, but that may not be so.
