I am reading a book about the
Cathars, called the Perfect Heresy.
They were virtually wiped off the
face of the earth.

The interesting thing about the cathar "heresy" is that it re-emerged so often despite being wiped out.
Some conjecture that these souls keep reincarnating and re-asserting their age-old beliefs

Anything is possible in this wonderful world of ours, and I think that ethnic cleansing never really works completely.
That is, I don't think the people, race, or whatever are ever completely wiped out.
So, that being the case, the beleif systrm of the Cathars re-emerged because it never went away. There was probably small pockets still scattered around the Languedoc, and possibly elsewhere.
This doesn't mean that I disagree with the reincarnation theory, I'm just offering a possible alternative.

having only just started gaining knowledge of the subject of cathars, i find it quite interesting that the kt allowed some of the aggressive or mercenary members of the cathars to take refuge in their strongholds and sallie back and forth and wage a almost guerilla tatic campaign against the albegensian crusaders, does anyone have thoughts on this

Well it may be that the KT religious practices were closer to the Cathars than to the roman church.
It may also be that whatever group externalised the KT using pre-existing knowledge also existed within catharism.

Speaking strictly from memory, of reading the book ,that is, the Cathars who agreed to fall in with the dogma of the Roman Church, or who blew the whistle on their freinds, were not killed.
Therefore the Cathars were not completely wiped off the face of the earth.
So while people can be killed or tortured into submission Beleifs and ideals can't.
It is therefore quite within the realms of possibility that Catharism re appeared now and then because it never completely disappeared.
