Alas, he did not do enough.
I would venture to say that the Saint did all that God enabled him to do.
It has been others, up to the present day, who are not “doing enough”.

In North Africa, there 750 bishops in the 500s.
After the Moslems came through, there were 3.
Seems like the Crusades were an anti-colonialist action.
