The Crusades: Followed a call for help from the Roman Emperor. Religious overtones? Sure. Was it all the Church's doing? No.
WWII???? Please tell me how Christianity was the cause of world war II. Then tell me how it was the cause of colonization.
News to me. Christians have done lots of bad things. Does that mean that all the bad things those people did were done in pursuit of a religious mission?

Actually, people are responsible for some of history's greatest atrocities. And by all means, there have certainly been misguided people who claim to be doing God's work when indeed they are doing the antithesis of His will.

The Crusades
Colonization of Africa, SE Asia, The Americas & Carribean
WWII
to name a few...
Pope John Paul did atleast own up to a few of the Catholic church's screw ups.
On a personal note, it seems to me that half the time I pass a U.S. flag it's at half mast nowadays. Most of the time I never find out why, and I do watch the news regularly. Seems to me that this half-mast thing is given out like candy...

You joke because you have no reasonable answer.
How can liberals not look like a bunch on complaining babies when only 2.3% of Indias population is Christian? Answer that.
There's people in Berkeley currently trying to change the name of Thomas Jefferson Elementary School because he was a slave owner.
What's the next abomination for the leftist front going to be, scoobsport98?

Anyway, back to the pope.
I will not lower my flag for him.
As he, like the rest of the Vatican's leadership, detested the US, why honor him with a 1/2 staff flag?

This Pope stood with the US against communism. That's good enough for me as an American.
