Pope Urban's Call for the Crusades




On November 27, 1095, Pope Urban II makes perhaps the most influential speech of the Middle Ages, giving rise to the Crusades by calling all Christians in Europe to war against Muslims in order to reclaim the Holy Land, with a cry of "Deus vult!" or "God wills it!"
Born Odo of Lagery in 1042, Urban was a protege of the great reformer Pope Gregory VII. Like Gregory, he made internal reform his main focus, railing against simony (the selling of church offices) and other clerical abuses prevalent during the Middle Ages. Urban showed himself to be an adept and powerful cleric, and when he was elected pope in 1088, he applied his statecraft to weakening support for his rivals, notably Clement III.
By the end of the 11th century, the Holy Land—the area now commonly referred to as the Middle East—had become a point of conflict for European Christians. Since the 6th century, Christians frequently made pilgrimages to the birthplace of their religion, but when the Seljuk Turks took control of Jerusalem, Christians were barred from the Holy City. When the Turks then threatened to invade the Byzantine Empire and take Constantinople, Byzantine Emperor Alexius I made a special appeal to Urban for help. This was not the first appeal of its kind, but it came at an important time for Urban. Wanting to reinforce the power of the papacy, Urban seized the opportunity to unite Christian Europe under him as he fought to take back the Holy Land from the Turks.
At the Council of Clermont, in France, at which several hundred clerics and noblemen gathered, Urban delivered a rousing speech summoning rich and poor alike to stop their in-fighting and embark on a righteous war to help their fellow Christians in the East and take back Jerusalem. Urban denigrated the Muslims, exaggerating stories of their anti-Christian acts, and promised absolution and remission of sins for all who died in the service of Christ.
Urban's war cry caught fire, mobilizing clerics to drum up support throughout Europe for the crusade against the Muslims. All told, between 60,000 and 100,000 people responded to Urban's call to march on Jerusalem. Not all who responded did so out of piety: European nobles were tempted by the prospect of increased land holdings and riches to be gained from the conquest. These nobles were responsible for the death of a great many innocents both on the way to and in the Holy Land, absorbing the riches and estates of those they conveniently deemed opponents to their cause. Adding to the death toll was the inexperience and lack of discipline of the Christian peasants against the trained, professional armies of the Muslims. As a result, the Christians were initially beaten back, and only through sheer force of numbers were they eventually able to triumph.
Urban died in 1099, two weeks after the fall of Jerusalem but before news of the Christian victory made it back to Europe. His was the first of seven major military campaigns fought over the next two centuries known as the Crusades, the bloody repercussions of which are still felt today. Urban was beatified by the Roman Catholic Church in 1881.

FRIDAY ASSIGNMENTS

First, 
Read the following to understand the power of the Pope in the Middle Ages: 

In the Middle Ages the pope was the head of the Christian Church (the Catholic Church was the only form of Christianity in Europe). Because nearly everyone went to church, the pope had great power. People saw the pope as God's representative on Earth (Peter, Jesus’ closest disciple, is still considered the first pope by Catholics). They looked to the pope for guidance on how to live and pray. Since the pope was seen as God's representative, it was his duty to teach the people the Church’s teachings and interpret the scriptures for them (so everyone was instructed the same way). From time to time, a pope would write a letter called an encyclical to explain a religious teaching or outline a church policy. The pope also had the power to decide when someone was acting against the church. One punishment for acting against the church could be to be excommunicated, or casted out of the church (meaning they could not receive the 7 Sacraments). This punishment was greatly feared because they believed that people who died while excommunicated would not get into heaven.  The benefit of pope having the final authority on Church teachings meant that all Christians would be instructed in the same way.  The problem is that a pope could become too powerful and begin to use his influence in areas not subject to Church teachings (and all Christianity teaches that everyone is sinful and can make mistakes).
