It was one of the few times that a pope has apologised for events such as the Crusades or the use of force to spread the faith in the New World. Pope John Paul apologised in 2000 for Christianity’s historical failures.

The Crusades were a push back against islamic armies trying to invade East Europe and the East. Spain had already fallen and was trying to also push back the islamic hordes.
Only the 4th Crusade was a violation of Christian principals when they captured Christian Constantinople.
Ellen White on the church of Rome and those who defend her terror of the past:
Quote
The defenders of the papacy declare that the church has been maligned, and the Protestant world are inclined to accept the statement. Many urge that it is unjust to judge the church of today by the abominations and absurdities that marked her reign during the centuries of ignorance and darkness. They excuse her horrible cruelty as the result of the barbarism of the times and plead that the influence of modern civilization has changed her sentiments.
Why care now? Maybe my great great great great great great great great great grandfather stole a goat. I’m not admitting guilt, maybe he did. I’m not apologizing for him. But as the family lore goes, fwiw, he had the goat stolen from him.
Golly gee pope socialista faggoto, how you be feelin about your moslem buddies slaughtering Christians in the name of their god…alah? Take you pissy apologies and stuff em up your @$#!
Ellen White on Papal infallibility which led to such murders and horror and torture.
She calls this church a “Haughty power”
Quote
Have these persons forgotten the claim of infallibility put forth for eight hundred years by this haughty power? So far from being relinquished, this claim was affirmed in the nineteenth century with greater positiveness than ever before. As Rome asserts that the “church never erred; nor will it, according to the Scriptures, ever err” (John L. von Mosheim, Institutes of Ecclesiastical History, book 3, century II, part 2, chapter 2, section 9, note 17), how can she renounce the principles which governed her course in past ages?
The papal church will never relinquish her claim to infallibility. All that she has done in her persecution of those who reject her dogmas she holds to be right; and would she not repeat the same acts, should the opportunity be presented? Let the restraints now imposed by secular governments be removed and Rome be reinstated in her former power, and there would speedily be a revival of her tyranny and persecution.
I wouldn’t bring up Ellen White again if I were you.
She was as big a false apostate prophet as is any Catholic clergyman, including the Pope.
>>>Why care now?>>>
Just setting the record straight for the ones here who deny all this. They even call Foxes book of martyrs a lie.
Follow along better.
>>>I wouldn’t bring up Ellen White again if I were you.>>>>
I don’t know....she makes pretty good sense to me. Wow could she write! Incredible.
😂👍
Well done Sir.
Wow could she write! Incredible.

Ellen White again? Seriously? Let her be dead. She was a bag of reject marbles.

So God wants the church to fight over land here? You have an interesting take on the gospel of Jesus Christ.
When the Roman Catholic church burned Jan Huss alive, he didn’t fight back....he sang a hymn while being burned.
Now that sounds like a Christian man to me. But hey..if you think God wants the church to fight.....hey, the Muslims think their God wants them to fight too. Have at it.
“Thank you Frankie. You may go now.”
Agreed. The muzzles’ imperialism started it; we have no guilt in trying to counter it. That said, I agree that the 4th crusade was perhaps the darkest episode in the history of the Catholic Church. Inexcusable. Ghastly. Literally an
Adomination. The amazing thing is that the Eastern empire hung on for another century and a half after
I don’t know dude.
She wrote this about the church of Rome...it’s pretty heavy and I think she’s spot on:
Quote:
But Romanism as a system is no more in harmony with the gospel of Christ now than at any former period in her history. The Protestant churches are in great darkness, or they would discern the signs of the times. The Roman Church is far-reaching in her plans and modes of operation. She is employing every device to extend her influence and increase her power in preparation for a fierce and determined conflict to regain control of the world, to re-establish persecution, and to undo all that Protestantism has done. Catholicism is gaining ground upon every side. See the increasing number of her churches and chapels in Protestant countries. Look at the popularity of her colleges and seminaries in America, so widely patronized by Protestants. Look at the growth of ritualism in England and the frequent defections to the ranks of the Catholics. These things should awaken the anxiety of all who prize the pure principles of the gospel.
Y’all left the Church @ 500 years ago.
We don’t miss ya.
Probably all worn out arguing amongst your @ 500 Protestant denominations about the multiple meanings of each scripture quotes you finally miss us.😂
This ROMAN Catholic Farts in your general direction.👻
