The religious persecutions of the Cathars in the dark ages is an horrific tale, and caused many to flee for their lives. Essentially the Catholic church, the "Holy Father", mounted a crusade to exterminate them as heretics (since they would not bend the knee). Maybe they were onto something, in fact it's hard to think from Clif's exposition that they could agree with the Holy Father on anything very much.
Once you have listened to this you may not agree with the Cathari either, but Clif certainly spins an engrossing story that ultimately affects him personally, the world of medicine profoundly, and the world in general totally.
If Clif is right (and I suspect he is pretty close) then we will all have a great deal to both learn, and to unlearn. There won't be any escape, so - bring it on!
