They weren't so much opposed to the Catholic church as they were murderers who lived in a society where them killing people who wouldn't show their boss respect was something they expected to be rewarded for but a priest back then was not an acceptable target for feudal violence so they got in trouble
a knight and a mobster were basically the same thing, the mafia is literally a feudal holdover.
also if you want to tell that story then there was that one time the italian communist party convinced a bunch of mobsters that they were the vanguard of the revolution which was in the end pretty weird for everyone involved
those knights who killed the archbishop of Cantebury sort of got drafted into a crusade as punishment but that was an exceptional case
