The sentiment is right, but your history sucks

So I gets this email "Imagine what might happen if every Catholic in the world would pray a Rosary on the same day! We have an example in October of 1573, when Europe was saved from the invasion of the mighty Turkish fleet, by the praying of the Rosary by all Christians!"  REALLY?? Truth told is that the Christian rulers harassed the Turks to the point of War, and conceded when they lost and their income began to dry up.

All I'm saying, give peace a chance, be christian not a Christian, and share a little tolerance folks.
