Annotatio IV §.XVII: Albigenses rise by Scripture and Fathers — crusade diverted; pure doctrine scattered
Same age: Albigenses in Dauphiné, Narbonne, Occitania, Aquitaine are offended and rise against the pontifical doctrine by Scripture and the older Fathers’ use.
Innocent, keener to overthrow than convert, sends Dominic for show but Montfort and Leopold with armies — crusade money turned on them; fire and iron only scatter the purer doctrine across Europe.
Latin
At è contra (pergit Morneus) eâdem ætate in Delphinatu, Provincia Narbonensi, Occitana & Aquitana, Albigenses, & graviter hâc Pontificiâ doctrinâ offenduntur, & fortiter in eam insurgunt, secundum S. Scripturæ normam & antiquiorum Patrum usum, & credere, & docere, & vivere nihilominus rati. Pontifex itaque evertendorum quam convertendorum studiosior, Dominicum in speciem concionaturum mittit, at re vera, Leopoldum Ducem Austriæ & Simonem Comitem de Monteforti, cum ingentibus copiis vi oppressuros: pecuniam in Turcas collectam, Cruciatam vocabant, non sine sacrilegio interversam, in eos convertit; regiones porrò illas igne & ferrô vastat, nil aliud interim consecutus, quam ut totâ Europa sparsi, per Italiam, Germaniam, Bohemiam, Angliam, intima Galliæ, puriorem doctrinam, quam extinguere curabat, dispergerent.
