Yes. But my point still stands.
The image represents an aspect of Christian history, but doesn't speak to all of what Christendom was.
I do not assume ill intent behind your comment. That said, being told to focus on Jesus' teachings rather than discuss Christendom, or her wars, as if these things stood in contradiction to one another, comes across as condescending. Our fathers are worthy of our remembrance and our honor, and if the West is going to have a future, much needs to be retrieved from her past. This doesn't mean we are not rooted in Christ's teachings. In fact, it bears witness that we are.
