Ms. Gay McDougall, independent expert of the ONU investigated

Ms. Gay McDougall, independent expert of the UN investigated for 10 days in September 2007 on the situation of minorities in France. .................. Of delegations Breton, Basque, Occitan and other types of minorities (religious among others ...) convinced Gay McDougall as ostracism exists on the issue of minorities in France is an issue related to human rights. Before rendering its final report it believed, following her meetings with members of different minority communities that "racism 'pernicious' continues in France (according to the Nouvel Observateur and AFP >>>)." Its initial findings have shaken priori-righteous. The French universalist model does not seem to be the best defense against discrimination. "Equality" as a principle of unity and indivisibility consistently opposed to the plurality and diversity leading to a de facto discrimination. Ms. Gay McDougall concludes his report with a stern statement. "Despite the existence of a major anti-discrimination legislation, members of minority communities in France are victims of genuine racial discrimination, rooted in attitudes and institutions The political refusal to recognize this problem has hindered the adoption of measures to ensure the implementation of relevant legislation and correct complex inequalities that settled. "** racism (against the cursed Occitans) french colonialism and racism against Occitan - "the Gascons are light in words, talkative, mocking, fornicators, drunkards, greedy, badly dressed in rags and without money, yet they are trained in combat and remarkable for their hospitality to the poor Sitting around. fire, they used to eat without a table and drink all in one cup they eat a lot, drink dry and poorly dressed;. they are not ashamed of sleeping together on a thin rotten straw bedding, servants with the master and mistress.

You will find in the northern climates peoples who have few vices, enough struggled, much sincerity and frankness. Approach the south country, believe away from morality itself: the strongest passions multiply crimes. (In Europe) equilibrium is maintained by the laziness that (nature) hasgiven to the nations of the South, and by industry and activity it gave to those in the North, this is what the naturalizedservitude among the peoples of the south: as they can easily dispense with riches, they can better do without freedom. Northern peoples have and will always have a spirit of independence and freedom that do not have the people of the South. "Montesquieu, The Spirit of Laws. XIV, II, 1748 .......... ........................... the only thing that comes to me is that you can not repent of the massacre of the Cathars without dissolving the Dominican order [...] the bishop - [...] You would do much damage by removing the Dominicans John Paul II was "repentance" I heard him say:.. "We have sincere repentance. "he mentioned the Inquisition. I think there put the Cathars.

[...] the Cathar - [...] freedom of conscience, it is not the freedom to say what we want and say everything and anything freedom of conscience, c. 'is to be free in thought. But it's a very difficult job. If we are awake, compared with ourselves, we realize that we do not think truly. Our self-talk such as our outdoor speech is primarily a speech interest, that is to say, a speech that is related to the appetites of our incarnation. These passions that drive us and whose engine is made up of our interests, to the Cathar thought, they enclose the soul in the body, so that instead of being pure, the soul is imbued appetites of incarnation. Man is a soul, a psyche. The body is the garment in which the soul is imprisoned. If the soul is to take the risks, appetites and passions of the body, at that time, it is closely related to the body. The perfect Cathar purification process, is to live as a man, that is to say, as a soul, a soul that is released, separated from the body. It is in this sense that he may have an immortality project; because the soul purified soul is crystalline, clear as clear water, that is to say, a soul that no longer carries interest speeches, no speeches attached to the body. This is the perception of the divine. [...]
