What stands out in terms of differences though is that Urban II was calling on the West to fight the Turks who had conquered "the Holy Land." Kirill is imploring Russians to kill Ukrainians who are not just Christian but their fellow members of the Orthodox Church — PolitiTweet.org

It also leaves the listeners aware that atrocities and/or war crimes committed while answering the call? Meh. Who cares about treating enemies with respect when your soul is on the E-Z Pass list? — PolitiTweet.org

Urban II knew rallying Western Europe to aid Constantinople would put him on a better foot against the Eastern Patriarch. And Kirill knows not to bite the hand that feeds him after trying to maintain the Church's independence in the early Putin days https://t.co/kG9XbhPZn3 — PolitiTweet.org

Aside from the similarities in the language itself, the context in which both speeches were given is fascinating to me. In each instance a religious figure is promising a ticket to Heaven to those who commit acts that would ~coincidentally~ shore up their temporal power — PolitiTweet.org

I meant to write a full piece about this when it happened and had to spike it due to time constraints but here's the link to the AP story about Kirill's speech: https://t.co/uiTkPiOWEd — PolitiTweet.org

Let's compare the language Russian Patriarch Kirill used in a sermon a few weeks back — promising salvation to soldiers who die fighting in Ukraine — with the historical records of Pope Urban II's speech launching the First Crusade, shall we? https://t.co/VFPMywS9D4 — PolitiTweet.org
