Question

In the beginning, the Crusades had been about protecting Christians from the Saracens and reclaiming the city of Jerusalem (1). But in later Crusades, the Church began declaring holy wars on European land (2). For example, the Albigensian Crusade took place entirely within France (3). The Albigensian Crusade was the fight by the Catholic Church against the Moors to reclaim France from Muslim control (4).
which are true and which are false?

Answer 1

Answer:    (1) and (2) are true / (3) and (4) are false

Explanation: (1) The crusades began as Christians' desire to bring Jerusalem back into the hands of Christians already conquered by the Saracens or Muslims. So the Crusade was initially a holy war in the Middle East.

(2) Later, during the advent of many Christian teachings, or interpretations of Christianity that did not conform to the official teachings of the Catholic Church, the Holy War began on the soil of Europe. At that time, such teachings were on the soil of Europe, designated by the Church as heresy.

(3) One such attack on heresy by Catholic Church occurred in the South of France, therefore not in the whole of France (entirely within France) when it comes to Cathar or Albigensian heresy, what is known as the Albigensian Crusade. There were other heresies throughout France but not Albigensian, it was only in the South.

(4) Cathars were not Muslims, so they were Christians who had their own view of Christianity as one of the teachings with influences from early Christianity that did not survive in the official publications, teachings, and beliefs of the Catholic Church.
