"If the Crusades were such a good thing, why did the Chuch eventually rid itself of the military orders created in part to fight the Crusades?"
Because once the enemy of Christianity had been gotten rid, there was no longer a need to wage war and the orders were gotten ridden of.
Anyway, if you were a true Christian you would be on our side and not say all the pejoratives about Christianity.

"Anyway, if you were a true Christian you would be on our side and not say all the pejoratives about Christianity"

If you like, we can discuss the history of the struggle between Christians and Muslims at length.
Where would you like to begin?
