ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) - A distinguished authority on Islamic jihad has excoriated Pope Francis for equating the evangelization of Jews and Muslims with the Crusades.
"The Pope is purveying historical fiction," Dr. Robert Spencer, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades, told Church Militant.
"The Crusades were not an exercise in forced conversion. In reality, they were a small-scale defensive response after 450 years of Islamic jihad aggression had conquered over half of Christendom, and an attempt to protect Christian pilgrims in the Holy Land," Spencer asserted.
Spencer, who argues in his work The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS, that the Roman Catholic Church "was at the forefront of efforts to resist jihad aggression in Europe," was responding to Francis' remarks to high school students not to convert Jews or Muslims to Catholicism.

This Pope sucks. Always.
I’ve reached that age where my brain says “You probably shouldn’t say that”, to “What the heck, let’s see what happens”
See that, Pope?
Even your New Best Friends are calling your lies out.
It’s just too obvious.
The current Popew is the quinisential anti-Christ. As in small, not the.
Worthwhile:

5m video with some excellent maps showing battles over time.
His web site is excellent. The Pope should be required to read and watch everything there.

I can’t disagree with anything that anybody has said on this thread to this point. I wish we had Benedict back.
This pope is proof the concept of pope is non scriptural
How long will true and good Roman Catholics put up with this??? Till Francis succeeds in making them and their faith irrelevant????
