It's an esoteric expression of the Christian religion condemned at the Council of Nicaea. The Cathars are commonly thought of as Gnostics, although they simply called themselves Christians:http://www.cathar.info/ The Arian Christians followed the preachings of a fourth century priest of Alexandria known as Arius. In an interesting aside, many of the Germanic tribes that Roman and Celtic missionaries first encountered were actually of the Arian persuasion. http://www.arian-catholic.org/arian/arianism.html As our knowledge of history increases and the ancient expressions of Christianity are brought to light, the Christian faith might well anticipate further, non- Nicene divisions in their ranks.
