Really? My error then. I thought Catechism was the particular name given to the Catholic doctrine classes given to children.

Not as many people were killed as a result of the Crusades as you might think.

Catechism classes were originally from Orthodox Catholics, but other denominations can study them as well. I did them too in my Lutheran church. Here's a site that discusses it.

Yeah, I seem to recall, oh, say, Richard the Lionhearted, that truly "Chivalrous" king decide the was annoyed at the defenders of a city for actually not surrendering immediately, so he marched them all out in front of the town and had them slaughtered, including women & children, AFTER they had surrendered.

Yeah I can see your religion is sooooo much better cause wiccans and druids are such evil entities.
