Countries who have not experienced non-Western conquerors do not know how ruthless they were. I'm from neighboring Georgia btw, Crusades did benefit us.

[@DavidRodriguez-er4rq]

The crusades had nothing to do with profit or money. It was because the Seljuks Muslims were killing their way into Christian lands in the east in Anatolia. Then Alexios Komnenos asked the Pope for help. So he gave his speech in Claremont and called on Catholic men to defend their brothers in spirit in the east to protect Christiandom. Similarly, in Spain but the Pope urged El Cid and others to stay and fight there.

[@jeremyseaton4898]

I think there's also a distinction between the impetus behind the Crusades and what actually went on during them. Its totally plausible to say that a military campaign with a morally justifiable purpose was carried out in an amoral manner; I mean, that happens all the time where us fallen humans are involved.

[@SRose-vp6ew]

The holy land was actually won back by England during world war one and it was returned to the Jews and other Israelites (not just one tribe) after World War II. For the most part the Israelites were forced out of their own land nearly 2000 years before they fully returned, and they still are working towards fully returning(yet the world doesn’t see prophecy fulfilled, they talk about Archduke Ferdinand all confused). You could say that during the fourth crusades evil abounded so no one really got the land. Israel literally turned into a waste land as Samuel Clement documented. Now Israel plants on the land and waters it, but those who are not Israelites literally trash it. I’ve been to Israel and the part of Israel currently called Palestine, I don’t believe anyone would support Palestine if they simply looked at it based on how they treat the land, and I’m not even talking about how they intentionally use children as human shield as they fire rockets made out of donated water pipes from behind them. Even Palestinians are turning against Hamas because Hamas was never on their side as they stole donated resources from Palestinian Civilians and constantly put them in harms way. Israel was letting Palestinians work in Israel, Palestinians destroyed that for the Palestinians by admitting to spending two years doing a planned out unprovoked attack on civilians in Israel.

[@magikarp2063]

Except that wasn't a crusade. It was supposed to be a crusade but then they got into crazy byzantine politics. Even before that the venatians got them to attak Zadar, a Catholic city, because hey couldn't pay for the boats otherwise. At that point it stopped being a crusade as everyone who attacked was excommunicated by the pope.

“Crusading,” Professor Jonathan Riley-Smith has rightly argued, was understood as an “an act of love”-in this case, the love of one’s neighbor. The Crusade was seen as an errand of mercy to right a terrible wrong.

I think the reason that most people today think of the Crusades as a shameful thing is because of The War on Terror, and the Iraq War. There is this tendency in people to equate past events with events that are happening in their present lives. People saw Westerners fighting in the Middle East in an unjust war and so came to think of any war where Westerners are fighting in the Middle East as unjust regardless of context.

[@Skyv111]

not so "unjust" when you consider they WERE also fighting terrorists. Perhaps a lot got SO used to the word "terrorist" that it doesn't anymore give you an idea of WHAT they are... but these people are the same or worse than those Muslims doing Jihad back then: killing anyone and "converting" by the sword (or bomb). So... are the wars against people who LITERALLY threaten the lives of others in *terrifying* ways... really unjustified?

[@rafsandomierz5313]

@@Skyv111 Yeah no. The reason why anybody went to Iraq wasn't because of threat of terrorism.

[@jeremyseaton4898]

No, its different because we're Christians and we have a different moral standard, European, African or otherwise. We don't subscribe to the morality of the Mycenean Age, Pre-Christian Rome, etc. The early Christians were the first prominent people to not just blindly accept their nation's imperial ambitions; Christians in Rome refused conscription and criticized Rome's military aims and their glorification of sacrifice for the state, most memorably in the pages of Augustine's City of God. I'm definitely glad that the Arab conquest of Europe was staved off though. But of course, as Christians, we're going to be critical of military crusades in a way that others might not be; we've got a different standard.

[@Egr-et6ar]

@TEDDTPATTERN “Every society reveres their warriors. The only time we ever question anyone is with Eropeans.” That is due to Eurpean spinning history.

[@TherealTFfromKingston]

Whats interesting about the Crusades is that we can clearly think of them as some sort of military campaign for the governments of that era as well. Only, given the context, the governments would be wayyy more intertwined with religion at that time. Today, we look through the lens most of the time as a “separation of church and state”, and so it can be hard to put ourselves within the circumstances of being attacked/attacking someone else purely based on faith. It also kinda reminds me of a type of “Old Testament” style of warfare where God saw it necessary to have the ancient lands see bloodshed of the wicked who were against God’s people of ancient Israel. However, the major difference here is that this “Crusade era” would be post-atonement of sins through Jesus Christ shedding His blood for “both Jew and Gentile”, meaning that we fight not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual darkness and sin.

The crusades were not only morally justified, but most of the brave men who partook in them should be sung as heroes of western civilization, and Christendom broadly.

9:22 - The Great Schism (between the East and West, thus separating the eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics) was in 1054

This was a good video. Interesting side note- I found out like 7 years ago, that I’m related to King Charlemagne! (He United a lot of Europe in Christianity long before the crusades) I wonder if people knew more about their ancestors, how it might change their view on some things.

[@joshuar1770]

That’s pretty cool. Charlemagne was perhaps the most pivotal Medieval figure.

Rodney Stark has a whole book about it called God's Battalion The Case for the Crusades

[@retrictumrectus1010]

It also came out on my recommendations a few days ago.

Read Urban II speech at the council of Clermont 1095. It was 1776 before 1776. It's this soft era who forget their history. Many Christian soldiers sacrificed for the kingdom of Jesus.

[@jamesmeyer4596]

Like this there are many misconceptions of the Church

[@kdeeznuttz]

Yes

[@Gristourdille]

Crusades was a rescue mission

[@alethein359]

I'm not Christian (although I do respect the religion a lot), but I am a proud white European, and the Crusades were definitely based.

[@Egr-et6ar]

Even the part where they took out your non-Christian relatives? Or possibly even also your Christian relatives during the 4th crusade?

[@kms3019]

The only crusaders are the shame on Christianity are those against onther Christians.

At 6:15 I think what the pope was getting at is that fighting in the war would have been a good work for the Lord and it’s biblical that we get rewards in heaven for good works so I don’t think he said anything wrong

[@peterhenryzepeda3484]

Pope also has ability to bind and loose, being Peter’s successor. He granted absolution to Crusaders and he also excommunicated crusaders, like the ones that sack Constantinople.

[@larissalourenco955]

And we don't preach violence but, we shall defend The kingdom of Christ. Amen.
