This article addresses Mark Pegg's two books in which he has rejected the traditional, orthodox view of Catharism as a dualist movement and church in the south of France, in this case Languedoc, by examining the extant inquisitorial sources. It argues that, regardless of what they called themselves or they were called by their enemies, the so‐called “good men” were indeed dualists.
