"More damage to the cause of Christ."Robertson is referring to Evil being destroyed.
Btw, would it have been wrong for the Pope to have called for the execution of Adolf Hitler in 1940?

But only because the Vatican would then have been destroyed by 1941.

Nope wouldn't have been wrong but he didn't as I recall. His predecessor did call for an out and out crusade once too. That was not a blight on the Christian faith as the revisionists would have us believe.

Yes! Christianity is not Islam, and hasn't really behaved in that way since the Thirty Years War. For a Christian leader to call for assassination, even of a person like Hitler, cannot be allowed. Catholics have spent fifty years trying to come to grips with the actions of Claus von Stauffenberg.
While no one condemns the action of this devout Catholic in trying to kill Hitler, you will find very few in the Church who hold his effort up as worthy of emulation.

I don’t recall The Christ calling for the killing of Caesar.
