The Pope expressed that they are all God-fearing people and that they are among the chosen ones. He basically told them that the land that is being invaded was for them. He also expressed to them that Jerusalem was being over ran by people that did not believe. He painted a picture so vividly that the people felt compelled to run to their aid.
