Roman Catholic AnswerThe Holy Father did not use emotion to try to persuade Christians to participate in the First Crusade, he used truth. He told them that the Christians in the Holy Land had been brutally overrun in unprovoked aggression by the Muslims. They had been murdered, their holy places burned or destroyed, and those that survived were subjected to unbelievable discrimmation and harsh conditions, plus a tax for not being Muslim This has been going on for centuries but the Pope and the rest of Europe were also having problems of their own and had been unable to respond to the Christians call for help in the Holy Land. In 1067 a group of seven thousand peaceful German pilgrims lost two-thirds of their number to Muslim assaults, but it was not until Pope Urban's address at Clermont in France in 1095 that finally some Knights responded with help. These were Christians and Christian Holy Places, there was no need for emotion.
