There you go with your lies. I was speaking about the Crusades. Those were wars that lasted for 300 years not just against Muslims but also Jews and everyone else who is not Catholic. Like when in 1487, Pope Innocent VIII declared an armed crusade against Waldensians in the Savoy region of France.

Only if we ignore 300+ years of Crusades plus centuries of wars against protestants and bulls that allowed the enslavement of African people and antisemitic ideology that caused many holocausts of Jews.
Plus, here is some papal history for you:
Pope Gregory IX originally authorized the killing of witches in the 1200s, and random witch trials were held, but the craze didn't catch fire until the 15th century.
In 1484 Pope Innocent VIII issued a bull declaring the absolute reality of witches—thus it became heresy to doubt their existence. Prosecutions soared.
Pope John XII openly had love affairs, gave church treasure to a mistress, castrated one opponent, blinded another, and donned armor to lead an army.
Benedict IX sold the papacy to a successor for 1,500 pounds of gold.
Urban VI tortured and murdered his cardinals.
Innocent VIII proudly acknowledged his illegitimate children and loaded them with church riches.
Pope Boniface VII murdered two rival popes in the 10th century.
Sergius III likewise killed two rivals for the papal throne.
Benedict V dishonored a young girl and fled with the Vatican treasury. Boniface VIII sent troops to kill every resident of Palestrina and raze the city. Clement VII, while a papal legate, similarly ordered the slaughter of Cesena's 8,000 people, including the children. A previous Pope John XXIII was accused of piracy, murder, rape, sodomy, and incest. Alexander VI bought the papacy by bribing cardinals to elect him—then hosted sex orgies attended by his illegitimate children, Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
