The Venetians were on a looting expedition when they redirected the last crusades to sack Constantinople. If they'd managed to get their hands on the medical texts Venice would probably have become the first really large for profit medical service. They had the right mindset for that sort of thing.
Religion has always been double edged. It's misuse, whether from ignorace or intent is a crime, and we are counting the cost of that now. Walker will pay personally for it and so will a family that didn't think things through.
