The Crusades were self-defense of Christians coming to aid other Christians and fall directly in line with that Christ said in scripture.

"I am sayine Crusades were Political not from any biblical scripture"


I agree. However, the thousands of regular-guy soldiers were, for the most part, Christian in belief.

But yeah - the Church itself was mostly a corrupt political organization throughout the Middle Ages. Money and Power will do that to ya!
