This particular crusade was named Albi, which is a town in southern France. In the year 1208 Pope innocent III portrayed this act as an threat against the church authority. This act had an great affect. It caused the people in the church to be more aware of things that were occurring around them and not just worrying about just the church. Socially, there was a great lost of some of the priest that were inside of the church at the time of the attack. Also, since some of the priests were gone they had to find more and then they had to go to school and also pay for the classes and preparation of becoming a priest. ||
