Notes -
The introduction to my edition of Montaillou said that the Cathar clergy were notably less likely to engage in sexual immorality than the Catholic clergy, and that this was a major part of why Catharism spread as far as it did.
Which makes it even more of a reminder that sexual abuse of low-status teenage girls is ubiquitous unless someone makes an effort to prevent it.
It’s still ubiquitous if someone does make an effort to prevent it, considering what goes on in the underclass.
