the pope must have selective memory syndrome.has he forgotten the spreading of christianity by the sword?history is replete with our killing in the name of Jesus.i dont think he was fair not to mention it.even today Bush's war is a crusade as He calls it.and if he didnt mean it why did he say it?

The Crusades
Muslim armies had conquered much of northern Africa, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, and Spain, which had been some of the most heavily Christian areas in the world.
Thousands, and possibly millions, of Christians died during this drive to eventually bring the entire world under Islam.
The First Crusade was launched in 1095 by Pope Urban II to check the advance of the Muslims and regain control of the city of Jerusalem and the Holy Land.
I am sure that some atrocities were committed by both sides during this war but by most people's judgment this was a just war.
With love in Christ.

Wake up and smell the coffee. We live in a world filled with people who want to kill you. It is a fact that all of the terrorist have been muslim. The pope spoke truth... and not the politically correct jabber that has apparently blinded you to truth.

you should read more. The inquisition was over hundreds of years ago. Get over it. The rest of the world has moved on from killing. Only islam kills those who dont agree to join the gutter religion and kills those that choose to leave it too. Kind of like the mexican mafia I think.

I don't get what you mean by "spreading Christianity by the sword". I guess you mean how Christians have been persecuted by others for all time, maybe? Just as now???
