The "call" for a crusade was made by the Pope."--The Crusades - An Overview"The Shield and Sword"Newsletter Archive"The men who fought these wars under the church's banner would take a vow before the Pope or his priests and they would receive a cross to wear. Some called it "taking the cross". It also bestowed upon them a few "indulgences" or temporal privileges, such as not having to obey civil laws, as well as their lands, property and persons being safe from seizure.

They also enjoyed temporal privileges."--Crimes of ChristianityChapter IX - The CrusadesG W Foote & J M Wheeler "During the time that a crusader bore the cross, he was free from suit for his debts, and the interest on them was entirely abolished; he was exempted from taxes, and placed under the protection of the Church, so that he could not be pleaded in any civil court."--Crimes of ChristianityChapter IX - The CrusadesG W Foote & J M Wheeler "The First Crusade (1095 - 1101)It was decided that Pope Urban II should call for a crusade. Each man who took the vow received a red cloth cross to wear on his shoulder. Four great armies as well as many small groups went forth, ill–equipped but ready to fight for God, and they would kill Jews, pillage and plunder along the way."--The Crusades - An Overview"The Shield and Sword"Newsletter Archive"Pope Eugnius IV called for a crusade, at Christmas time in the year 1145."--Medieval Sourcebook: Odo of Deuil: The Crusade of Louis VII"The Jews were the first victims of the Crusaders plunder. The Crusaders -Considering themselves as enlisted in the service of Christ, concluded that they were fully warranted to take vengeance on his murderers, and they, therefore, put to the sword without mercy such as refused to be baptized, seizing their property without the smallest regard to the rights of justice. In Bavaria alone twelve thousand Jews were massacred, and many thousands more in the other provinces of Germany."--The History of the Christian Church  By William JonesFirst Edition 1812 - London"These pious robbers, having tasted the sweets of plunder, and being subject to no military regulations, began of course to pillage without distinction, till the inhabitants of the countries through which they passed rose in defense of themselves and their families."--The History of the Christian Church  By William JonesFirst Edition 1812 - London<a href="http://photo.xanga.com/apostasy_and_corruption/9d45e212034545/photo.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://x9d.xanga.com/45ec67e702030212034545/z165471468.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> "The Crusades began formally on Tuesday, November 27, 1095, in a field just outside the walls of the French city of Clermont-Ferrand. On that day Pope Urban II preached a sermon to crowds of laypeople and clergy attending a church council at Clermont. In his sermon, the pope outlined a plan for a Crusade and called on his listeners to join its ranks." --History of ByzantiumCrusades -Hypocrisy of Western Nations"THE CRUSADES - the most signal and most durable monument of human folly that has yet appeared in any age or nation."--[Robertson’s History of Charles V. vol. 1. Appendix, Note 13.]"The Crusades....this subject forms a prominent feature in the history of the Antichristian APOSTASY..."--History of England, volume 1, chapter 5"During the Crusades - The brave were not protected by arms, nor the timid by submission; neither age nor sex were spared; infants perished by the same sword that pierced the supplicating mother. The streets of Jerusalem were covered with heaps of slain; and the shrieks of agony or despair resounded from every house, when these triumphant warriors, glutted with slaughter, threw aside their arms, still streaming with blood, and advanced, with naked feet and bended knees to the sepulcher of the Prince of Peace! They thensung anthems to that Redeemer who had purchased their salvation by his death, while deaf to the cries of distress from their fellow-creatures."--The History of the Christian Church  By William JonesFirst Edition 1812 - London"The fourth Crusade issued from England, France, Flanders and Lorraine. Mills calls them "another herd of wild and desperate savages." Their leaders were a goat and a goose, who were thought to be inspired by the Holy Ghost. They took to murdering the Jews, a crime which gratified at once their avarice and their fanaticism. Cologne was the first city they stained with blood. Thousands of Jews were massacred and pillaged in the towns on the banks of the Rhine and Moselle. Seven hundred were slaughtered at Mayence, The infernal multitude, as Mills calls them, "hurried on to the south in their usual career of carnage and rapine;" They pursued them with such slaughter that the waters of the Danube were for some days red with their blood."--Crimes of ChristianityChapter IX - The CrusadesG W Foote & J M Wheeler "Carrion was openly dressed," says Mills, "and human flesh was eaten in secret. Cannibalism was carried to a great extent by the lowest of the low and the camp-followers made a virtue of it.  They liked nothing so well to eat as the roasted flesh of their enemies." --Crimes of ChristianityChapter IX - The CrusadesG W Foote & J M Wheeler</blockquote>
