The several texts with ''moderate'' Cathar ideas have already been mentioned. There are fewer texts with ''radical'' Cathar ideas: the ''Liber contra Manicheos'' and the ''Liber the Duobis Principiis''. The ''Liber contra Manicheos'' (''circa'' 1218-1222) is by Durand the Huesca, an opponent of the Cathars, and contains a radical Cathar treatise. (The ''Liber the Duobis Principiis'' was written much later, in the last half of the 13th century.)

The bad God (''malus deus'') is identified with the creator from the Old Testament <ref>From a later text, written 40 to 30 years later, ''circa'' 1250-1280, ''Liber the Duobis Principiis'', mentioned below.</ref>. Thus ontological dualism appears to be an important point of difference between the ideas of the Manichaeans and of the radical Cathars: the Manichaeans preach one God, while the radical Cathars preach two gods.
