"I've read say McVey was raised as a Catholic ...."

I know some who even believe that Catholicism could be lumped in their right along with Pentacostals and Baptits as a Christian religion -

I know for a fact it damn sur was during the last Crusades.

"during the last Crusades."

The Crusades were basically a holding maneuver to stop Islamic expansion. So if you look at the Crusades as a black mark against Christianity you need to look a lot deeper and ask some questions:

1. Since the Christians had access for over a millennium to the Holy Land and the Muslim expansion denied access to Christians is that really a war of aggression? I call it defense.
2. If Islam is so peaceful why have they killed so may in wars?

The Crusades were justified. The Crusades were a reasonable, justifiable Christian response to nearly 450 years of Mohammedean agression. But for the Mooslim aggression that began at the inception of the "religion", the Crusades would not have occured, since the Holy Land, North Africa, and the Iberian Peninsula would not have been invaded by the Mohammdeans.
