What are the benefits of the Crusades?
The Crusades did have some benefits... crusaders found riches and brought lots of building ideas. From a Crusader's point of view, they were very beneficial because they were fighting for their religion and they thought it was their divine purpose of life.
Did the motives for the Crusades change over time?
In answering this question it is important to first define what constitutes a crusade in this discussion. Some historians argue that only crusades to the East (I.E. to Jerusalem etc.) where real crusades. This is called a traditionalist view. However, the view that is now becoming more widely accepted by modern historians is that the crusades include all the organised battles/wars by members of the catholic faith towards a certain group deemned to be enemies/threats to christendom, it must also be sanctioned/launched by the current pope. There must also be some sort of crusader beneifit such as the remission of sins or a plenary indulgence. The latter definition mentioned above means that as well as the crusades to the East, there are also crusades against pagans in the balkans, crusades against the German emperor Frederick II, and the Albigensian crusades in Southern France against the Cathar heretcs. As well as many other small crusades. In the begining of the crusading movement, the crusades were all to the East. The main motives for these crusades was the protection of Christian Holy sites such as the sepulcher. Another important motive was the protection of both christians living in the area and also pilgrims who were increasinly facing attack from Muslim forces. During the course of the crusades, the direction of some crusades changed from the east to areas within Europe. This also caused the motives to change. There were no holy sites to protect, and no pilgrims or christians under immediate threat. Instead these crusades could be described as political crusades. This is particularly true of the crusade against Frederick II. Frederick and the pope of the time fell out for many reasons and the crusade was launched by the pope as a way of dealing with his political problems caused by Frederick in areas such a lombardy. Crusades against the pagans and the cathars in southern France, also so not fit in with the motive that apply to crusading to the east. Instead, this was a way of attacking potential threat to Christianity and/or the popes political power. The Pope that was most willinging to sanction these political crusades was Innocent III who was particularly ruthless.
Were the crusades a mistake?
No the crusades were not a mistake. Without them the world we live in today would most likely look quite different.While many died for what could be perceived as a religious-political power struggle on the part of the papacy the crusades were important. Europe would not have passed through the 2 renaissances it did (first being in early 12th century due to Norman conquest of Sicily and southern Italy). Europe benefitted hugely by making contact with the Islamic culture and receiving noteable technology and information from it. It was the Crusades that pushed Europe towards the Renaissance.Note: This is an unbiased and objective point of view. Those with more fundamental beliefs will no doubt provide different answers.

What is the proper relationship between the pope and the Roman Catholic Church from the popes' point of view?
Since the Pope believes his pronouncements are infallible, that means they must be right and true, so they can't be wrong, so therefore there will be no dissent and there will be unquestioning obedience no matter what. From the Popes' point of view, he is the feudal lord of the manor, and everyone else are serfs.
