Wowwwwww this is mind blowing!!! As a new Catholic and as a student in general, I never deeply looked into the crusades (and yes it’s been something thrown in my face as I’ve been converting to Catholicism) you have a true gift for reaching history!! God bless. I watch many of your videos so I can learn and prepare for when others want to debate with me.
You are very welcome! So glad it was helpful. Keep up the good work.
Better look into it a little bit deeper. The blood of masses of people, Muslim, Christian, and whatever stains the Catholic Church and the Roman Popes. They are very good at dissemination and obfuscation, believe them at your peril!
Thanks for publishing this. Push back ignorance and shine light on history.
Wow ! I needed these informations! Thank you so much, God Bless, Ave Maria! 🙏🙏
Bless you Brian! I despair sometimes of the level of prejudice and antagonism towards our beautiful Catholic Church. You help me to be strong.
I think you should do more videos in story form like this. This was really enjoyable, I find myself listening to it a lot, you really have a talent for story-telling, and for making it very educational.
Brilliant! Thankyou so much for taking the time to put this together and present it!
Thank you! God bless you abundantly!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽✝️✝️✝️
Great explanation. Would like to learn more. Thank you.
Amen, Amen, Amen. As usual I learned a lot from this. Thank you and God bless you and your ministry
I learn so much on your channel. Thank you for all the hard work you do ❤🙏
Excellent Bryan! Thank you and God bless!
I literally cried listening to this christ has really always being with us!!
Concise and essential facts. Thanks
Such valuable information. I enjoyed every minute of this explanation concerning the crusades. Thankyou again Catholic truth.
Thank you for this wonderful historical information. Too many times people can have a tendency to re-write history for various and sundry reasons. Some people just want to put their own personal spin on history to suit their needs and causes.
This is and extremely good video. It appears so non biased. 🙏❤️❤️😇😇
I have just learned almost the exact same thing you are teaching us.
Check out Fr. Chris Alar (Divine Mercy) - Crusades.
Thank you for this amazing information that everyone must know.
Thank you so much. Love and waiting more facts/videos soon. God bless this ministry.
Thank you! God bless you too!
This was a helpful overview to jumpstart my studies on this topic. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for this historical information
I was totally ignorant about this and no answer for the questions of my children and
Also a lot of protestents
No problem. Glad to help!
Great topic bro. Bryan.Thanks a lot!
@@CatholicTruthOfficial As a fellow Catholic can you explain for me the basics about the Avignon Papacy?
Thank you dear brother . it's wonderful talk. God bless you.
Great video Bryan! Could you do videos on all of the other Crusades?
That will be something for future videos. Though we are starting a Premiere Catholic Truth Club, and will be making Premier videos only for members. As of now, I'm not sure if that topic will be part of that club or not. It is probable though.
I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial✝️ BEAUTIFUL EXPLANATION ✝️ I appreciate your effort .
Thank u Bryan for this video.
Wow. Good information. Just learned so much 🙏
Love your videos brother. God bless you

Thank you for making this video
VERY INTERESTING. Thank you so much. God bless. ❤❤❤
Excellent thank you so much for your true historical explanation
Is there a book levitating above your left shoulder? Great video by the way
It has to be a biography of St. John Cupertino. 😂
Thank you this was great
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful video thanks alot
Thanks for explaining. God love and blessings

@@stinkfinga4918 ha ha ha ha !
Was wondering the same thing lol
I see that too!!! Amazing!!.
Thank you. I didn't know.
I’m very blessed to have found your videos! Thank you and God bless you and your family.
Thank you for watching. We are glad that our videos are blessing you. Thank God for that.
Bravo, Bryan!
I’m very impressed by all of the defenders of the One Holy Apostolic Catholic Traditional Church Teachings,because I for one was born into the Traditional One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church through baptism at a very young age but I never was taught anything at all of the churches Teachings from a very young age. But after several decades of living a very evil life I was given a miraculous chance by the ever so merciful Holy Trinity to be led back to the Traditional Latin Mass which I was brought in,and was guided by some ever so powerful force to get hold of numerous books on the Traditional Church Teachings. I encourage you Mr,Mercer to continue your ever so important works for the glory of the most Holy Trinity and the One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ ,Amen Dominus vobiscum Deo Gratis
Thank you so much! And praise be to the Lord God Almighty! May God bless you.
I am a proud Catholic and proud of Crrusades.
This is exactly why there are thousands of different religions out there. So many people don't know the true historical facts and yet are ready to argue without knowing their history. The Catholic Church is the One and Only True Church created by Jesus Christ. Only the Catholic Church's history dates all the way back to Jesus's time and his apostles and disciples. The Great Siege of Malta where The Knights Hospitaller and other Catholic men 7,000 in number holding their ground as the Ottoman Turks wanted to take over Malta in order to take over Rome. Jean Parisot the commander of the 7,000 went to a Blacksmith and had a rosary put on the sword. They were able to hold off the 30,000 Ottoman Turks from taking over Malta and then Rome thanks to the grace of God and Mother Mary. -Referencing Father Donald Calloway's Talk in Idaho 2019. We're Catholic today because of our rich history with Jesus and because Jesus didn't want any other religion to take his people over. And that's just one example! Thank you Bryan for another wonderful video!
Well said. Thank you.
They are also pagan.
Jesus never created the catholic church
I call heresy.

17/09/2022 WELL DONE BRIAN. I cannot believe that Angel Gabriel came to Mary to announce the birth of Jesus and 600 yrs later coming to Mohammed and creating a new belief system. Obviously satan has been ceating some many problems forever! We need to be aware of this information to bring so much more peace and love to the world.
If only people knew..
I'm proud of the crusades. Most Catholics are ashamed of the crusades.
Very proud of our Crusader Brothers!

Thank you so much! This is definitely a contender for the near future!
@@CatholicTruthOfficial God love you. I am so happy I found your channel
Good presentation- I have that exact same sweater. Nice...
Christian Crusaders 1095 A. D. must be understood in all matters. As now, Christians have heart of peace standing for TRUTH.
About the crusades, my high nobility family was involved and contributed to the crusades. At this time, based in Venice under the Venetian Kingdom/realm. I am sure the Pope must likely utilized historical evidence from St. Augustine's era, concerning the sacking of Rome by a barbarian force lead by Alaric (410 A.D.), from an early form of 'Just War' doctrine. It derived from Augustine's viewpoint.
Do you have a recommended source to read the letter from Pope Urban II? Most I find on the internet have added their spin. Thanks.
✝️🙏Beautiful explanation 🙏 ✝️
I'm a Roman Catholic from Palestine. Yes, the crusades helped us in Palestine, but I dont like how Islamophobic modern Christians are today.
Yes, there was fighting between Muslims and Christians, but they generally still lived together in Palestine for centuries.
Modern day Israel is causing more disharmony than any crusade has in the past.
Why do you say modern-day Israel is causing disharmony? Just curious.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial mass genocide, apartheid, etc.
Phobia is an irrational fear. Try being a practicing Christian in Saudi Arabia. Openly professing your faith. You'd be a target.

That's a lot of sources. But some of the books are:

Bearing Faler Witness, also by Rodney Stark
The 7 volume work of Warren H Carroll, The History of Christendom (Vol. 2-4).

All of David Ewing Jr's books and online interviews are well worth your time.
Bryan is my favorite professor 🤗
We need an animation for this
True Knights of the Church , please pray for us.
Amen
thank you for revealing the truth to all
Alexius I was the Eastern Emperor. I never heard him referred to as a “commodore”. Just something that caught my ear. Good site.
very good historian
I'd say The Crusades were (intentionally or not) for The Glory of THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GOD AND THE DEFENSE OF THE ONE TRUE RELIGION, THE CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC ONE!!
God bless you, Bryan!

@@hachibidelta4237 well that's you ignoring history so...
@@acrusader.1801 yes for the glory of God butcher Christians in Antioch and Roman empire
@@hachibidelta4237 "Siege of Antioch, (20 October 1097-28 June 1098). This marked the arrival of the First Crusade in the Holy Land. Events set a pattern of betrayal, massacre, and heroism that was to mark future campaigns. By capturing Antioch, the crusaders secured lines of supply and reinforcement to the west.Sometime during the winter, Bohemond made contact inside the city with a Christian soldier named Firouz, who had command of the Gate of Two Sisters. On 2 June, Firouz opened the gate, allowing the crusaders to enter and join the Christian inhabitants in a massacre of the Turks. Yaghi Siyan was killed but his son Shams held out in the citadel. Two days later a huge Turkish army led by Kerbogha of Mosul arrived and laid siege to the crusaders inside Antioch."
- Encyclopedia Britannica
Hmmm, Christians in a city teaming up with Crusaders to kill barbaric, raping, Turks is bad?
And I haven't heard of any Crusade killing Roman citizens. Name, please?
@@acrusader.1801 the city was sacked and slaughtered by the crusader, it was majority Christian city. Melkites to be precise (Arabic/Aramaic Orthodox). The crusader couldn't tell the city was inhabitted by mostly Christians and kill them indiscriminately. They initially wanted to do the same with Nicaea but was prevented by Alexios. Also crusader forces basically ravaged their way through Hungary and Roman land. The villages surrounding Constantinople was raped and murdered during first crusade.
Basically any subject of Alexios was Roman citizen, you didn't even know this??
Christians killing other human being is generally bad. Why is killing Muslim different than killing Christian?? Frankish barbarian are brutal slaughtering Antioch and Jerusalem. Burning villages surrounding Aleppo, isn't this barbaric?
Brothr God bless you 🙏 im not Catholic myself anymorr but have much respect for true catholics and Would love to reconnect with my roots and culture as i have Spanish Catholic background
Thank you for the comment. If we can help you in any way or answer any of your questions, please let us know. God bless.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial thank you yes i am trying to learn more about Catholicisms less talked about aspects like saint Cyprian necromancy praying for dead ancestors the templars and how to usw the rosary and be more spiritual become closer to god and am learning Latin so i could read more olden manuscripts and prayers i would love to hear or read anything you may have to input on these Subjects also i feel like Catholics were wrongly accused by christians in some ways but i see youhave videos on that as well and am enjoying your channel
@@CatholicTruthOfficial also i love how Catholic ideals relate with science and Would love for you to Elaborate on that and how related is it to judaism? Does tefillin also include Catholics? And would you suggest greek over latin?
In fact without crusade war not only Christian but even Mormon also doesn't exist or been heard.
15:00 100,000 is an incredibly high figure, it's closer to 50-60 thousand, and by the time they got to Jerusalem, they only had around 12,000.
I also heard you mention the 4th Crusade. That is just as misunderstood as the First Crusade, if you haven't done one on it, i think you should consider it.
Thank you. We haven't done one on The Fourth Crusade yet. So we do have an article on it on our website.
How is The Case for Jesus floating, its between the bookcases?
" Wage the Good Warfare"( 1 Timothy 1:18), and, " Fight the Good Fight of Faith ( 1 Timothy 6:12), " as a Good Soldier of Jesus Christ"( 2 Timothy 2:3-4). As both a Latin Rite( Roman) Catholic , and, Prior Service United States Marine Corps ( USMC) and United States Army ( US Army), I have NEVER, EVER , had a problem with Piety and Patriotism. I NEVER, EVER, had an issue with being a Christian of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church ( both Latin ( Roman) and Oriental ( Eastern) Rites).

You are a great missioner of JESUS CHRIST TRUTH. I love the historical truth of Catholicism. Jesus Christ is a peaceful Servant leader, opposite to mohammed islam is a violent character. Now, islam is conquered by PRAYERS... ROSARY to this day.
Thank you this always bothered me made christians look bad, now it's a little clearer
how can that book with a yellow spine next to ( Something ) Daughter be sitting there ? Like your videos.
Galileo's Daughter. We have several books by anti Catholics and atheists because we like to read and study both sides. We also find the flaws in them as well.

It's coming soon.
it's thanks to the Crusades that you have a computer and an internet connection
Wait how

Hello Brian, could you please make a video for Islam, based on perspective on Catholic faith..?
Yes. We will be.
Can you tell me what bad things did the crusades do
Bryan, I think it would have been better if you cited sources so that the evidence would be stronger and not just their words against yours. God bless!!!
Thanks for the suggestion. Anybody can find these facts in history, encyclopedias, history books, and so on. We will keep this in mind for the future. We usually cite sources in the books we write, not necessarily TH-cam videos.

Then why were the Templars burned at the stake?
Can u please explain that about before the crusade started how the Muslims took the Christians land and countries and which countries were used to Christians
“Commodore” Alexius?! What does this even mean? The Alexius here being referred to is Alexius I Comnenus, the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire (1081-1118). Prior to his accession to the Imperial throne of Byzantium he had briefly been a military commander, but “commodore”? - that is something altogether different...and even if this could be put down as a recurring slip, why refer to him as such when during the time of the First Crusade (1096-1099) he was already Emperor? This is just a minute sample of the striking historical inaccuracies and patent falsehoods with which this video is replete. The arguments presented simply do not hold up to even a basic understanding of the historical period in question. The chief motives for the Crusades were purely political, strategic, and economic. The religious fervour was only incidental - a convenient ideological pretext for the Roman Church to increase its wealth and to expand its power and influence eastwards at the expense of the “Schismatic” Eastern Roman Empire, and to check the rising power of the Seljuk Turks (who had occupied the Holy Land following their momentous victory over the Byzantine forces at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071).The call for a Crusade by Pope Urban II at Clermont (1095) was met with enthusiastic popular support among all classes in Catholic Europe, but was also a means by which many of the dispossessed and greedy Western robber barons, knights, and soldiers of fortune sought to gain lands in the rich East, and to carry on doing what they had always done best: plunder, rape, and kill - but this time, “in Nomine Christi” and with the full blessing of the Holy Father; because, you know...”Deus vult”...
marcelo alvear - Gracias, amigo.
Correct. This video and those who keep trying to defend the tragedies of the past to somehow validate their beliefs is odd. What next, the conspiracy behind pedophile priests and their complicit bishops? Video probably already out there
The crusades were an act of love...
lol sure
yeah right
But what about Pope Urban and The letter
✝️
You are 👍
I totally agree that nowadays people often take the crusades a bit out of context in order to make the church sound bad. But justifying it and claiming it was defensive is just not accurate. The Muslim world was very divided at the time. By the 1090’s the threat of Muslims expanding into Western Europe was long gone. And Christian pilgrims were allowed to come and go as they wanted. Nobody was keeping Christian’s from making their pilgrimage. But at least in the first crusade they killed just as many Christians than anyone else. Regularly ransacking christian cities. They even destroyed the Byzantine empire completely during the fourth crusade. Almost all of the crusades, even the successful ones, were a damn disaster. But that doesn’t say anything about the church today. Using religion to justify invading others was common for the time. But saying they were good or justified simply because your catholic and they make the church look bad doesn’t help anything
We Survived eastern romen persecution. Our Church Is Ancient And Strong. Prey for them
Yes pray for Islam!
Jesus asked Go to forgive those who mocked him, Muhammad had people who mocked him assasinated
Im not european and nor am i catholic, but boy owh boy am i grateful to God for the crusades
Wasn’t there a schism between Byzantium and Rome even before the threat of Islam?
Islam came about in the 7th century, and the Orthodox Churches broke away from the Catholic Church in the 11th century.
There was already differences, due to language mainly. Then there was issue with the papacy making their own things without ecumenical council, which was actually the reason why its hard to change Orthodox practices.
I can tell you read Warren Carroll! Great historian!
I want to know why they invanded Constantinopol in the forth Crusade

@@billybari8081 it's easy to call names and condemn, it's a lot harder to give facts and evidence to back yourself up.
@@billybari8081 And in fact we do care what the Bible says, you should be careful about lying about people. In fact we quote the Bible and most of our videos because we love the Bible and we believe it.
Sorry, Bryan, as much as you are needed in parishes, our local nice churches wouldn't accept you - too much controversial truth, way too much enthusiasm, and not enough jokes, trivia, safe comments, and feel-good banality. If only you were a bishop or cardinal ... wait ... you either wouldn't make it that far or would be sent to the country to minister to the birds, away from sensitive listeners. So, stick to what you're doing.
Unfortunately, many churches are like this. It's really sad, and a disservice to our teens, and we wonder why they don't come back to church.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Too true, Bryan! It's like the house is on fire, and many clergy are "ho hum" - what a lovely day la dee da whereas I'm wondering, if shepherds really love their flock, they'll sound the alarm to get out of Hell (mortal sins, heretical lies and errors, etc.). I've been utterly perplexed for years even while storming heaven with countless prayers and mortifications. I know of a priest who was sent literally to the country because he spoke the truth about contraception and other foreign priests who've been silenced for their orthodox preaching. Suddenly they become needed in their home country. What a mystery? ;). Your YT channel offers some relief like water in a desert, but my heart goes out to the morally ignorant young Catholics who unwittingly contract immoral vices, feel guilty, can't face their guilt, and the quit the church with the many fallacious excuses underwrite they hide. As a result, there are scores of baptised pagans who become the devil's agents and often our opponents - so often due to cowardly shepherds. Trust me, I could go on. Thanks very much.

This is what you told 2 teenage LDS missionaries, not the Mormons.
Yes, two missionaries who were Mormons.
Christianity wasn't spread by wars, harsh words, or anything bad??? I guess this guy never heard about the Holy Roman Empire???
To be specific, he says that Christianity as a whole wasn't primarily spread by the sword in the first 600 years (around the time Muhammed started preaching).
Witch is correct. Most Christians up to that point were a product of hard missionary work,...
The few exceptions you have are, firstly just exceptions, and secondly mostly done by leaders who acted on own authority and not that of the church
So yes, in that light, it is true what he says,...
