I agree with your conclusion but one could argue his political goals were in perfect harmony with Christianity. That's the argument of course he made.
This is ultimately how almost ALL Christians are with regard to their religion. That's why modern Christianity appears to be another form of Leftism not because Christianity is inherently leftist because traditionally it's not, it's because all humans try to shape the religion toward their end.

"...the Jewish people, ever rebellious against God and derogatory of our rites, within the frontiers and territories of the Franks, own hereditary estates in the villages and suburbs, as if they were Christian residents; for they are the Lord's enemies...

"The Founder of Christianity [Jesus Christ] made no secret indeed of His estimation of the Jewish people. When He found it necessary He drove those enemies of the human race out of the Temple of God; because then, as always, they used religion as a means of advancing their commercial interests.

They even enter into political intrigues with the atheistic Jewish parties against the interests of their own Christian nation."
