Besides if the Pope wanted to decry violence within a faith, why didn't he speak to the Catholic Church's past with regards to violence - afterall that is something with which he could speak to as a moral and academic expert.

OK, and you got this history....where? The CBC? Or from his books and essays (in print or the Internet)? Personal communication from the man himself? Each of these sheds a different light on such "history".
It still doesn't address the issue: you are taking a few sentences here and there and passing a sweeping judgement. Just like the extremists do.
