The Catholic Church considered Bogomilism a heresy due to the duality in the Bogomil cosmogony, wherein the earthly sinful corporeal life is a creation of Satan, an angel that was sent to Earth. Also objectionable to the Church was the Bogomil claim that no human doctrine should be followed because no doctrine comes from the soul — the only divine possession of the human. Furthermore, their disbelief in anything that is created with materialistic and governmental goals led Bogomil followers to refuse to pay taxes, to work in serfdom, or to fight in conquering wars. The enemies and contemporaries of the movement interpreted this rejection of the feudal social system as creating disorder, even as the destruction of the state and Church.
