The beginning of the Crusades
Good people of the Holy Roman Empire,
God has commanded us to retake the Holy Land
from the Saracens. They have stolen this land from
our empire just as they have conquered Spain. They
have no right to own the land where our Lord Jesus
walked! We must retake this land for God!!! I
know you have battled against each other for many
years but that is not God’s will. You, great people of
Europe, are brothers in Christ, you must stand
together as one army.
Let’s read what Pope Urban II had to say…
For this special time in history I am granting a special opportunity
for salvation. Any who die while on the journey to the Holy Landor
while fighting the Saracens will receive instant entry into Heaven
regardless of your sins. The greatest sins you can imagine will be
forgiven for any who take up the Crusade.
Those whom our God blesses with safe travel will return with untold
riches. The enemy’s very possessions will be yours. Anything you take in
battle from the Saracens will be yours to keep. You will return blessed
with gold and silver beyond your wildest dreams. You can even find
land to call your own!
So, good people, gather your supplies, take up the Crusade and regain
the Holy Land!
God wills it! God wills it!
 Sincerely,
 Pope Urban II

would bypass purgatory, and be taken directly to
heaven.
