am I wrong in saying that the catholic church is responsible for the crusades and the inquisition?

Nope.It actually depends on which crusades you are talking about.
Some of what are called crusades can be considered a part of the inquisition.
Nice read Scott.SOGFPP said:
Events like the above are what I meant by "part of the inquisition".Thus betrayed by their Greek friends, in 1204 the Crusaders attacked, captured, and brutally sacked Constantinople, the greatest Christian city in the world. Pope Innocent III, who had previously excommunicated the entire Crusade, strongly denounced the Crusaders. But there was little else he could do. The tragic events of 1204 closed an iron door between Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox, a door that even today Pope John Paul II has been unable to reopen.
I get ya now.That episode was a crusade even though it never attacked Islam..just other Christians who worshipped in a way the Church had forbidden.
The same rewards and promotions were used to gain the support of nobleman as were used for the Islamic crusades.
