Emergence of Christianity

What do you think of the Roman Catholic Church's tactics when it came to converting the Germanic peoples of Europe?  Think about the Christian holidays and observances today, do you think people today understand the religious implications of the days they celebrate, or is it just another day to celebrate?  Do you think people even have a clue as to why they celebrate the way they do (with all of the 'customs' & 'traditions'? With that in mind, remember the fact that over 2 billion people call themselves Christians today. Were the tactics the right move?

My opinion has altered dramatically about the Judaism and Jewish people in many ways. I didn't know that Jewish people have had to undergo so many invasions and have their territory conquered so many times. I didn't know that Jerusalem was being shared by both the Jews and the Muslims. My opinion about h0w enduring the Jews are changed when I learned that they returned back to their land in the 1800s after have to flee their homeland.
