Absolutely no bad ones.
Inquisition:
The Pope had power and he used the excuse of religion to root out those that could undermine his power.
Crusades:
There was a leader, probably the Pope, who needed support, so he decided to go to war, to get the people's support. Just look at the last crusade, the one that got greedy and sack the great Christian city of Constantinople.
Here is a quote from Angel, right above me: "Hitler was not a Christian, he practised in the occult."
Come on guys, you've got more events than that!
I'm reading other answers and explaining them.

I see we are Hell bent on spreading hate tonight. More Christian bashing. Wonder who you atheists would bash if you didn't have Christians. You say we are hypocrites, you are just as judgemental and have to dig into ancient history to get the dirt. Anyway during the Crusades, the Christians were defending their lives from the Muslims. Hitler was not a Christian, he practised in the occult, he may have had a parent who was Christian but he was no Christian. Get over yourselves.

Hmmm. May I suggest the AIDS crisis? For years, the Catholic church kept insisting that AIDS couldn't be stopped by using condoms (because the Catholic church is fundamentally opposed to birth control), so people didn't use them, and here we are.
