ON DEUS VULT, THE FIRST CRUSADE, AND THE JERUSALEM CROSS.

During a political discourse, Michael Knowles, a Catholic, took a moment to educate the panelists on the Jerusalem Cross, Deus Vult, and the First Crusade. If Michael Knowles didn't know his history and precisely Church History, the panelists would've fed their audience with lies about the Jerusalem Cross, Deus Vult, and the First Crusade, hence feeding the hatred for Catholics.

Speaking of the Jerusalem Cross. What does it represent?

There are at least three interpretations:
1. It represents the Five Wounds of Jesus: On his head from the crowning thorns; on his right hand, left hand, and legs from being nailed; and on his side from being pierced with an arrow.

2. It also, symbolizes the Four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) with Acts of the Apostles and every Christian as the Fifth Gospel by the virtue of Christ who being at the center, continues his mission on earth in and through us. So, the Church becomes the fifth gospel.

3. Similarly, it symbolizes the Four Corners of the World with Jerusalem (the big center cross) theologically being the center of the world as the place of the Incarnation.

The Jerusalem cross is never a threat to any nation, and neither does it define anyone as radical. While in the context of it being a crusader's cross in connection to Deus Vult. A soldier wearing it symbolizes his conviction that God wills his mission of defending his nation. Such doesn't make him an extremist or a threat to his nation.
