The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

What do we think about the Crusades?

a016a5  No.713530

>>713528

The crusaders did nothing wrong.


46859e  No.713532

The first crusade was a clear miracle from God. The rest were utter failures and did far more to damage Christendom than the Musselmen ever could.

Pretty much this; I think you can make a case for the 2nd and 3rd crusades as well but the rest were clearly terrible.

>we think

Can't think for yourself?

>>713535

OP here… Nope, I cannot

Which ones?

>Holy Lands

Sem-important noblemen take up arms to fight for the Roman Catholic Church, and perhaps acquire personal wealth, as well as occasionally kill partially-allied Byzantines, times 14.

>European

Unimportant noblemen take up arms to fight for the Roman Catholic Church against men who are also members of the Roman Catholic Church trying to defend a very small number of men, women and children who are not members of the Roman Catholic Church from the unimportant noblemen who took up arms to fight for the Roman Catholic Church, times 5, maybe.

>Northern

Relatively recently converted unimportant noblemen take up arms to fight for the Roman Catholic Church against the military forces of the unconverted Baltic and Finnic countries of Northern Europe, as well as kill a few Eastern Orthodox people, times 5-ish.

>Popular

Numbskulls go out into the wilderness and die, times we don't exactly know, do we?

>Reconquista

The Spanish try to assert themselves as a world power, become buddy buddies with the Roman Catholic Church, and rescue their long lost great-great-great-great-great… grand cousins from Islam and succeed brilliantly at basically everything, except for saving them, because they might have been made into slave soldiers to fight for Islam, similar to the mamelukes and janissaries.

It was war. War never changes.
