The question does not make much sense. Christianity is a religion; it cannot be seized. If the question is trying to ask when Saladin seized Jerusalem from the Christians, it Saladin reconquered the city on 2 October 1187, when the (Christian) Kingdom of Jerusalem relented after two week siege.
The question does not make much sense. Christianity is a religion; it cannot be seized. If the question is trying to ask why Saladin seized Jerusalem from the Christians, it was because the city had been under Islamic control for over 300 years and many Muslims believed that they had the right to govern it as they had for centuries.

The relationship between Moors and Jews in Spain 1492 is that both groups were persecuted by the Spanish Christians. During the Spanish Inquisition, the ruling classes and the Church seized upon the concept of "purity of blood" and used this concept to persecute Moors and Jews who had not converted to Christianity. During this time most Jews and Moors were stripped of their possessions and expelled from Spain.

The Mormons were also persecuted greatly, forced to move due to violence, and all sorts of illegal acts of violence, and the government did nothing to help, even though the US was founded partly on the freedom of religion.Another answerPossibly the question should not have read when 'was' the Christian Church persecuted the most, because statistically speaking the modern Church is being persecuted far more than at any time in history. Of course, the numbers of persecutions are relatively small percentage-wise because of the vast size of the modern Church, and, compared with the church described in the first answer, the percentage of the Church that is persecuted is far less. However, we, in the western world (USA, Europe, Australia etc) do not appreciate the oppression suffered by Christians elsewhere. Numbers-wise, and not looking at percentages, there were far, far more Christians put to death purely as a result of their belief in the 20th Century than in the previous nineteen centuries put together.And persecution still takes place today. In many Islamic states it is still an offense to even possess a Bible let alone preach. In some Islamic states the preaching of the gospel - and the spread of Christian literature - is a capital offense. In China, despite there being an estimated 100 million practicing Christians in the country, the house-churches there (ie. free churches not heavily controlled and monitored by the state) are still illegal, and belonging to one, or being involved with someone who is, is still an offense and punishable by prison. In some totalitarian states like North Korea, it is still an offense to belong to any religion, Christian or not.So, persecution carries on. But sadly, we in the West, who often see the sanitized Church with its quaint customs, forget that for millions of Christians, following Christ is certainly not an 'easy option'.
The Crusades were a type of military campaign sanctioned by the Catholic Church to restore Christianity and Christians access to the Holy Land.
The question doesn't include enough information. "Seized" by who (what agency) for what reason (evidence - forfeiture - safekeeping - etc) ? If it was seized as contraband and seized for forfeiture it will become the property of whatever agency that seized it. If it was seized as evidence of a crime, it will be returned to the victim/complainant after the trial is over.

The Edict of Milan marked a dramatic change in the way Christians were treated in the Roman Empire. They would now be tolerated instead of persecuted. They would be compensated for property that had been seized.
