Or so she said after the inquisitor Hugo de Beniols tortured her and threatened to burn her alive if she did not confess.

Or perhaps she said. In 1275, congress with demons was not yet listed as a crime. And there are no transcripts of her trial, though there is no shortage of them from other trials in that same year. So serious historians consider the fifteenth-century chronicle of her so-called life to be specious and apocryphal, imperfect to the point of meaninglessness.

Angéle de la Barthe was of the gnostic sect of Cathars, so like Aquinas, the devoted Catholic, she would have believed the air was on invisible fire with an aether of demons snatching at souls as they glimmered past. Unlike Catholics, as a Cathar she would have believed in a dualist philosophy of a good god and an evil god who were equally powerful and held each other in balance.
