-Shows up with rag-tag group of starving, infighting people from all over Europe
-Conquers Jerusalem in record time by storming it
Why would anyone feel guilty about one of our very common shared European success stories?
Okay, one week account with numbers in it and hidden history.
Ok, the inquisition was a repressive institution that had a chilling effect on free thinking in the Spanish empire. I don’t think its actions can be defended. Other than when they oppressed protestants in the Netherlands, of course.
But no one today feels guilty for the inquisition, we didn’t impose it, old Pedros did.
And the crusades, if they’re talking about the more famous ones in the middle east then Spain had little to do with them. We were in the middle of the reconquista, we didn’t have to go to the other side of the Mediterranean to fight muslims.
Did any Catholics go on crusades or vote for an inquisition this century? No? Then leave them alone.
If you wanna bother people over holy wars go talk with the jews and the muslims.
Show me on religion that old and I can tell you they made some bad things. But that feeling bad about it makes as much sense as feeling bad about what your country did in the 30 years war.
On the other hand they did hide and protect their pedophiles during our lifetime, this should make them sad.
Didn’t we all just burn a Catholic the other day?
Ah yes but being muslim you wouldn’t feel guilty about the Ottoman empire or invading Spain and France huh ?
What about that time a tiny country below sea level beat your powerful Imperial armies?
Do you feel ashamed about that?
Might be too western for me…but I’ve never understood why people should feel guilty for something they haven’t done?:))))
Like if my ancestors did bad things is not like I am Jesus and gonna die for their sins.
Being Catholic has never been particularly beneficial to us
Why would we feel guilty about the Crusades? The Muslamics conquered Christian lands and we tried to take them back. Do you think they feel guilty about conquering Constantinople?
The Inquisition was painful if you got caught up in it, but really very minor in terms of actual victims, in the grand scheme of things.
That interviewer was so underhanded with saying “I’ll give you an opportunity to talk about it.” as if she was helping Sweeney clear her name or something instead of twisting a boring commercial into a bullshit racism narrative like she was actually doing. People like her are the absolute worst. Sweeney’s response was perfect though: “If I have an issue I want to speak about, people will hear it.”
10/10 would do it again

Excuse me I have to marry my fertile daughter to my genius nephew and assassinate my idiot son.
Middle east was jewish and christian before being muslim though, christianity started there and then spread to Europe when roman empire converted to christianity.
Muslims came way after and conquered the area.
I am not for new crusades and do not condone all the slaughter crusaders did there obviously but the initial reason behind the crusades was kind of legitimate ***in the context of early middle age*** if you know history. Muslims were the ones who conquered Middle east and converted the Christian and Jewish people living there.
Europe has many dark shit in its history that are shameful, crusades were not exactly something shameful. For Christianity at the time it was about reclaiming what used to be theirs and had been taken from them by force.
The things that are wrong about the crusades was the way they happened, with tons of rape, torture, slaughter and oppression but it was kind of a two way street most of the time.
I don’t understand how anyone can feel guilty for the actions of people who were alive fucking centuries before they were born.
And we’d do it again
I need to do more research on my end but why do people say the crusades were bad? I thought everyone everywhere on the planet were trying to fight for empires and their own gods back in the day?
In my opinion, the Spanish Inquisition is portrayed in an exaggerated way. In all it’s time it is responsible for roughly 12.000 deaths.
I’m regretting we’re not having another one…
Burning of witches, crusades, inquisitions. We know how to party!

Why should she fell guilty about the crusades, though? Spain didn’t exist back then, and what kingdoms existed where more concerned with doing a little border readjustment with their own local muslims.

Find me another country (other than Portugal) to have given citizenship (aka reparations) to the ancestors of people who were persecuted 500 years ago.
