He must have lost that power struggle. I can’t imagine he didn’t want to.

And of course a huge part of the Albigensian Crusade and the Cathar genocide in general was politics that wasn’t really religious. Fundamentalist alternatives to the Catholic Church aren’t important enough to slaughter em masse any more.

Not initially it wasn’t no. It was a broad-based revolution against a dictator. When the Ayatollah got involved, it became reactionary, and far less an actual revolution.
