The term "Cathars" derives from the Greek word Katheroi and means "Pure Ones". They were a gnostic Christian sect that arose in the 11th century, an offshoot of a small surviving European gnostic community that emigrated to the Albigensian region in the south of France.The medieval Cathar movement flourished in the 12th century A.D. throughout Europe until its virtual extermination at the hands of the Inquisition in 1245.
There are an ever increasing number of historians and other academics engaged in serious Cathar studies. Interestingly, to date, the deeper they have dug, the more they have vindicated Cathar claims to represent a survival of the Earliest Christian Church.

Why was Inocentius III hated by the Cathars?
Because he initiated a campaign to eliminate Catharism
Were Jews Muslims and heretics tolerated by the Catholic Church?
During the Middle Ages Jews were tolerated by the Catholic, although reluctantly and with a blind eye to their persecution. Muslims and so-called heretics were considered an existential threat and were never tolerated. The Albigensian Crusade and the Inquisition were the Church's response to the rise of Catharism in Spain and southern France.
What was the greatest reason for the start of the inquisition?
The Church had long suppressed heresy, mostly by punishing individual heretics in such ways as imprisonment. The rise of Catharism made it difficult to continue this practice, because there were so many heretics to deal with. So the Church developed inquisitions as a way to deal with larger numbers of people. Inquisitions were not general through the entire Church, but local, and there were many of them.
