Yep! It was Catholics killing Cathars who often lived amongst the others. Cathars who shared some of the same religious traditions as Catholics were declared heretics and order killed. Scholars have often not agreed who actually gave the order and there are many translations. The long and the short of it is there was lots of killing in the name of Christ.
