Not going to mention the Sacking and Looting of Constantinople, where the “holy” crusaders stole precious artifacts and wealth of the city, raped nuns on church altars, and murdered thousands of Orthodox Christians, cementing the Great Schism? Such an act of Love. It’s the whitewashing of history, ‘let’s forget about and/or smooth over the bits we don’t like.’
Absolutely Beautiful. Thank You. Xo ☮️
Great documentary but why is the background music so loud in some bits? It's really hard to hear the host at many points.
The music is louder than the narration. It is irritating.
Your easily irritated

@Godfrey of Bouillon thank you, this is important history and it needs to be told. Deus Vult

@@easternmcg you have your own made up history.
@@nemesis1291 The Fourth Crusade didn’t happen? Yeah ok.
@@easternmcg mostly propaganda from the enemies of Jesus and the church, it wasn't something that the pope condoned.
So looking forward to waTching this...but the music is loud and very annoying...!
Why??
A+++!!!!
I am in love with your channel
We need more Pilgrimage in America 🙏🇺🇲❤️🇬🇧
You need more humanity in America
Shalom everyone ❤️ Libra and Virgo always ♥️ you all ♥️☯️💯💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍🔯🤴👸💯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯❤️🗽🇬🇧🇮🇱
Thank you for sharing.
Too bad this is unwatchable due to the music being too loud and overpowering the speech.
Great documentary, but as others have said the very loud music over the narrative makes it difficult to watch :(
Try using both sides of your brain!
Why would a person wish to be more religious? That's 100% within your control. If you want to be more religu,then make the choice and follow through.
Because walking a pilgrimage is a metaphor for one's religion and a test of faith.
