Comments: "Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?"
When asked by a Crusader leader - at the siege of Béziers, France in 1209 - how to distinguish Cathars from Catholics, Arnaul Amalric replied:
“ Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius."
Kill them all. For the Lord knoweth them that are His.
