Likewise.
History is complex, and while I don't deny that many wars have occurred in lands under Christian rule, that is inevitable for two reasons: The first is that mankind is sinful. The second is that Christendom has spanned some 2000 years.
However, we also must recognize that not all war is the same. There is just war and unjust war. There is defensive war and offensive war. With some exceptions, nearly all the crusades were defensive wars. As were many pre-crusading wars like those against the Danes.
But as I said, Christendom is more than her wars, just or otherwise, and honoring our fathers as well as retrieval from the past is essential for the West to have any real future.
