I didn't use the name of religion, I used the name of a pope. and he used the name of Christ.

Wars ( violence) have been fought "in the name of religion" since time immemorial. Catholicism has used "violence" throughout the course of the history of the Church, mainly as a defense against heresy, Islam, paganism or the ѕуηαgσgυє.

Even Yahweh in the O.T. commanded the Hebrews to annihilate heathen peoples. a direct order of violence from God Himself.

Violence, in and of itself is not necessarily evil, but many times employed to destroy an evil.

I'm sure judaizers like yourself pooch had no problem when the Allies in WWII used violence, many times in the name of religion against the peoples of the German and Japanese nations. Then I assume you would have hardly compared them to ISIS terrorists.

Perhaps you should tell past popes of this as well.....


Snippet from Pope Urban II call to crusade against Muslims in the Holy Land declared at Clermont in 1095;



"Although, O sons of God, you have promised more firmly than ever to keep the peace among yourselves and to preserve the rights of the church, there remains still an important work for you to do. Freshly quickened by the divine correction, you must apply the strength of your righteousness to another matter which concerns you as well as God. For your brethren who live in the east are in urgent need of your help, and you must hasten to give them the aid which has often been promised them. For, as the most of you have heard, the Turks and Arabs have attacked them and have conquered the territory of Romania [the Greek empire] as far west as the shore of the Mediterranean and the Hellespont, which is called the Arm of St. George. They have occupied more and more of the lands of those Christians, and have overcome them in seven battles. They have killed and captured many, and have destroyed the churches and devastated the empire. If you permit them to continue thus for awhile with impurity, the faithful of God will be much more widely attacked by them. On this account I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ's heralds to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people of whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends. I say this to those who are present, it meant also for those who are absent. Moreover, Christ commands it.
