Yes, I am Catholic, however that is irrelevant to the point -- the French were (ostensibly) Catholic at this point, yet did as sucky a job of spreading Christianity as the English did -- but both of these sorry excuses fought on the side of Turks against fellow Christians in the Crimean war, preventing Orthodoxy from re-capturing Constantinople.
They were not as bad as the Dutch though who didn't even bother spreading religion, the Dutch were only about trade.
