Cathars rejected the Old Testament and its God, who they named Rex Mundi (Latin for "king of the world"), who they saw as a blind usurper who demanded fearful obedience and worship and who, under the most false pretexts, tormented and murdered those whom he called "his children" They proclaimed that there was a higher God — the True God — and Jesus was his messenger.
