The Crusades, in which innocent blood was spilled with abandon.

Silly. The Crusades were defensive wars.

How were the Crusades defensive wars? Muslims had controlled the area for over 4 centuries when we tried to take it back. Dont get me wrong, I loved the crusades but i cant see them being called defensive.

Thank you so much for stating the truth here about the crusades. I am proud of the crusades. My children's Catholic high school moniker is the Crusaders. No fear here, nothing to apologize for or feel bad about. I think some confuse the crusades with the inquisition.
