St.

Street
Walking
through the gate of the twelfth-century Cathedral of Saint Cecilia located in
the town of Alibi, France, we find ourselves in the south of France during Medieval
times. The Cathedral reflects the cause of its main champion, Chief Inquisitor
Bernard de Castanet, Bishop of Albi (1277-1307) in reaffirming the authority
of the Roman Catholic Church. The church was a strong presence in Europe. Church
of Saint-Sernin (11th.C) and Church of St. Salvy (15th.C) are among many examples
of churches that show the depth of faith of the people at this time
