Not in the name of Christianity or Catholicism.
It only seems to be terrorism when it’s against us and done by those that don’t have jets.

We should first define the term but definitions can also be designed, misused or circular leading nowhere but back to word attempting to be defined and really void of a definition.

I’m not sure it matters that we name “Christianity” before we drop the bombs. To those receiving the payload its part of Christianity. For those who see us sleeping with Israel, its Christianity.

Terrorism= the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.

We don’t needs to strap bombs to ourselves. We’re in charge.
But that doesn't really address the question in the thread. The actions of western governments aren't examples of Christian and/or Catholic extremism.
As I said there have been plenty of examples of Christian and Catholic extremism in the past (and still now although not to the violent extremes) but the western governments are not engaging in activities under the banner of Christianity.
For some reason you seem to think that I said that western governments do not engage in acts that could be defined as 'terrorism' but that isn't the question I was addressing.
