How's this for a religious warrior?
This is a painting of St. John of Capistrano, whom the famous mission in California is named for. The painting was commissioned by Blessed Junipero Serra for the mission church. St. John was a Fransican friar who converted many Jews, preached against the heretical Hussites, and helped reform the Conventual Franciscans. But among his greatest acts was when he personally led an army against Muslim invaders in Eastern Europe near Belgrade in 1456, using a force only one-tenth the size of the Muslim army. The Christian forces defeated the Muslims on the feast day of St. Mary Magdalen.
The painting is the featured work of art in the October issue of Magnificat magazine.

Well it was nice of the West to help out instead of also attacking the Empire at the same time (and that was beack when their was no Cath/Orth division).

An illegitimate emperor for an illegitimate Crusade for an illegitimate era.

I don't disagree. Just don't blame the Pope for plotting it.
To: Hermann the Cherusker
The Pope did not plot it. He just blessed it.

Of course it goes without saying that if it was not for the sack of Constantinople by the Pope's crusade this battle would not have been necessary.
You're lying, of course, by hinting that the Pope had anything to do with the sack of Constantinople in 1204. Indeed, he condemned and lamented it in strong terms. Let's face it, the Greeks had been falling back since 1071 and if not for the Crusades, Constantinople might have fallen to the Turks much earlier than it finally did in 1453. And, I might add, when beseiged in1453, many of the stoutest defenders of the Constantinople were ... Latin Catholics from Venice, Genoa, and Spain.
So take your anti-Papal propaganda and stuff it.

Pope Innocent III later removed the ban that had excommunicated the so called Crusaders.
