I think your wires are a little crossed; the Crusades against the muslims was almost exclusively Catholic (there were no Protestants at that time) and I don’t know if the Orthodox Christians were involved later or at all. As for the Catholics taking over...taking over what and how? Who is their leader, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden (Catholics in name only) And the Catholic hierarchy letting muslims into Western countries? Huh? Western countries,especially in Europe, are humanist, socialist and primarily anti-Catholic; since when do those governments or their leaders ever listen to the Pope? They despise him. As for hundreds of years of Catholic murder...hmmmmm, people of all faiths, or no faith, having been killing each other for thousands of years. Is the Catholic method of killing so much more dramatic,or cataclysmic or ..... what? The current Pope has already been put on notice by the muslims a few years ago when he said that islam historically has not been a religion of peace, or words to that effect. And the Pope before this one, John Paul II, was the victim of an attempted assassination by a Turk, who I believe was a muslim. Go figure. And yes, America was founded by Protestants, with a very few Catholics and Jews tossed in for good measure. And they did a great thing, created the freest, most wonderful country in the history of the world. Nobody could deny that of Protestants and the founding fathers. So what happened, did the Protestants, after doing away with the indigenous peoples (Indians) screw up and let Catholics and Jews in and for what reason? Did the Pope make them do it?

When, all of a sudden they can’t feed themselves.

How many millions of killed does it require to make a affect on you? You’re either not serious or seriously stupid. The Inquisition killed so many it’s not funny. Hard to take you seriously. Not surprising. But it’s your religion. It must be good.
