The New Crusades

The New Crusades were a series of holy war called by the Popes in response to the growth of Jilmism in the swamps of the western and southern United States.In opposition the Jilmists proclaimed their own spiritual leader in the form of the Bear Granddaddy, raising their own armies and clashing with the crusaders for decades. The crusaders tended to fair well against the Jilmists, winning several key victories such as the Battle of Atchafalaya Basin in which 30,000 Jilmists were slaughtered. Of course any time they went up against The Jilms themselves they were obviously annihilated.
The War of the Second Coming would be proclaimed the final crusade by the Ultra Pope during the far future, a prime example of the legacy the new crusades left on the religion.
