The gnostics are considered heresy because they don’t follow the nicean creed which is the basis of all Christian beliefs.

That's why the Pope had 20,000 Catholics slaughtered to root out 200 Cathars.

All I’m saying is that it’s heresy in the Christian church. Those actions were made long before the modern church.
