Hear Fr. Chris Alar explain what you need to know about the Crusades and its history with Islam. As Muslim expansion increased into Christian lands, was the Catholic Church morally able to respond? What is a just war and did the Crusades qualify?  Separate truth from fiction.  

Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains the Catholic teaching concerning these two Sacraments that we often forget or speak so little about and why they are critical in today's world.
