Without going into a long discourse on history, one need only consider the Crusades, when Christian military expeditions were launched by the Church. While there is certainly an argument to be made that the Crusades were political imperialism in the
guise of religious piety, it is nevertheless the case that they unleashed violence of an order of magnitude that eclipses even what we typically think of as the medieval "standard" (i.e., tremendously brutal).
