During the Crusades, Catholicism WAS Christianity.

[usa1776]

Not true at all. There were many Christians that opposed catholicism. In fact, the Catholic church killed many millions more christians to hold on to their power than Muslims. Eventually, the Catholic Church lost its monopoly on power, and the dark ages ended.

How can so many people know so little about the history of western civilization?
Christianity is the word of God, Catholicism is the word of man. A difference worth noting.
