Cathars & Sophia
In one of the podcast featuring Amanda Radcliffe, she discussed the brutal elimination of the Cathars in medieval France. Given that the Cathars are often understood to be deeply devoted to Sophia (the Divine Feminine), this historical tragedy raises a profound theological problem of evil: If Sophia represents an active, compassionate divine wisdom, why did she not intervene to prevent the violent suppression of her followers and the destruction of irreplaceable Gnostic texts? From a Gnostic cosmological perspective, how is this divine silence or lack of intervention during such extreme bloodshed explained?
