John Owen on the Cathars

On page 147 of John Owen's Biblical Theology in a section where he is discussing the Roman Catholic Church and how it and pagans in general lie about God's remnant in all eras he states:

"I will pass over other similar monstrous lies with the simple comment that they all pale into insignificance in comparison with the slanders that the Roman pontiffs have dreamed up against the Albigenses [Cathars], the Waldenses, and other faithful servants of Christ."

It's disgusting that modern day Calvinist/Reformed Christians mindlessly and wickedly bleat the same Roman Catholic lies they have been fed in their 'educations' in seminaries and from Roman Catholic sources. How did I know the Cathars weren't what all the reference sources said they were? I have the Spirit of discernment in me: the Holy Spirit. I know God's remnant are maligned by the devil in all eras.

The word Cathar, by the way, is the same as the word Puritan. You'd think this alone would kind of give the Village of Morality churchians calling themselves Calvinists a clue.
