the crusades and the Spanish inquisition were about power and fraud and in the inquisitions case perpetrated by corrupt individuals and monsters more then anything else.
Torquemada, King Ferdinand and the rest of those people got swept away in an orgy of hate and greed. Even if you look at it Pope Sixtus IV demanded the use of due process, legal council and appeal to the Spanish and were told to get stuffed.
The Crusades you have a very strong argument on since it was backed by the church.
