Failed to understand "mounted no further coherent response"
Does the collocation work here? -mounted...response...?
Context:
The Crusades were religious conflicts during the High Middle Ages through the end of the Late Middle Ages, conducted under
the sanction of the Latin Catholic Church. Pope Urban II proclaimed the first crusade in 1095 with the stated
goal of restoring Christian access to the holy places in and near Jerusalem. There followed a further six major
Crusades against Muslim territories in the east and numerous minor ones as part of an intermittent
200-year struggle for control of the Holy Land that ended in failure. After the fall of Acre, the last Christian
stronghold in the Holy Land, in 1291, Catholic Europe mounted no further coherent response in the east.
Many historians and medieval contemporaries, such as Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, give equal precedence
to comparable, Papal-blessed military campaigns against pagans, heretics, and people under the ban
of excommunication, undertaken for a variety of religious, economic, and political reasons, such as the
Albigensian Crusade, the Aragonese Crusade, the Reconquista, and the Northern Crusades.(source: wiki)

What does "give equal precedence to comparable" in that context?
"Give equal priority to what?" to comparable, Papal-blessed military campaigns.
The writer is saying that many historians consider these other Papal-blessed military campaigns to be equal in importance to the Crusad
