Almost everyone is familiar with the story of the Crusades. Whether you learned about them in school, seen movies or television shows, or even read about them in the stories. The Catholic Church had much power in the middle ages, and it still does today. It is one of the richest and largest land owning corporations in the World. While the Pope supposedly does not have much power today as he did in the past, he could control Kings and Queens in the Middle Ages with threats of Holy Damnation. If a King did not listen, he would be told he is going to hell, sometimes the King did not care. The First Crusades arose from ideas that William the Conquerer gave Pope Urban II. Pope Urban thought that he could solve some personal problems by starting a ‘Holy Crusade to reclaim the Holy Lands’ from the Turks. Four other Crusades were started by the Pope and others after him, while others after that were started by Kings themselves. Did the Church want owenership of the Holy Land for themselves so that they could make the money for the popular pilgrimages that people would take to Jerusalem? Did the Turks really close off Jerusalem?

After the war the Allied Powers came in and the war was over the Germans were defeated. Jews are still hated by many people today.

Alright, first of all: The specific actions and scope of Hitler's Final Solution were only realized AFTER the Allies won the war and found mass graves and documents that belonged to the Third Reich. This means that the Vatican probably only heard of what was going on when everyone else did. Second: The actual Catholic Church does not condone violece against the Jews. For instance, the Black Death was often blamed on the Jewish community, but the Church leaders of the time tried their best to explain to the huddled masses that it was not a huge Jewish conspiracy. The actual institution of Catholicism actually recognizes that the death of Jesus was ordained by God, to allow forgiveness for sins. Therefore, there is no "personall" agenda for the church to be following. Third: Hitler preyed on the fears that the German people had at the time. He was not spoon fed by the Pope, and he was not excommunicated because, again, no one was truly aware of his actions until after the war. This
