Vatican change of heart over ‘barbaric’ Crusades

THE Vatican has begun moves to rehabilitate the Crusaders by sponsoring a conference at the weekend that portrays the Crusades as wars fought with the “noble aim” of regaining the Holy Land for Christianity.

Looks like P.C. diversity will only go so far at the Vatican. Although the Chief is certainly not a Catholic, this is a welcome development as it seeks to maintain some historical balance instead of continuing the politically correct cultural self-flagellation about this part of history.
