Morten St George Theory

[-JKP-]

You make a good point. The depicted men and women were surely connected when alive. Most likely, they were perfecti, that is, the lay clergymen and clergywomen of the Cathars. The bulge in the middle of some of the men's hats may indicate some type of religious or professional status.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone who jumps to conclusions as quickly as you do, Morten.

As I keep saying, this is not research.

Deciding what it is, at the drop of a hat, without evidence, is not research. It's storytelling. It's a completely different activity.
