What Does The Catholic Church Teach About The Jews?
Defining What A “Jew” Is, For This Presentation
Before continuing, it’s important to define what we mean by “Jew”.
By “Jew” we mean anyone of the Hebrew stock, or a non-Hebrew Jewish convert, who publicly or privately REJECTS Jesus Christ as their Messiah, Lord, Savior, and God.
This includes all religious Jews, since the First Century (Pharisees, Sadducees, Rabbinical Jews, Orthodox Jews, Conservative Jews, Reformed Jews, Hasidic Jews, etc.).
This includes all secular non-Christian Jews that are only ethnically Jewish and who do not practice the false religion of Judaism.
Whether they are Zionist or not doesn’t matter.
It doesn’t matter that these subgroups may have bitter differences. ALL REJECT CHRIST!!!
The Bible Tells Us That Jews Are Our Enemies
The New Testament makes it clear in several places that Jews are our enemies
Christ Himself tells us that the Jews are our enemies multiple times
St. Peter makes it clear that the Jews killed Christ
St. Paul makes it crystal clear multiple times that the Jews killed Christ and are our enemies
St. Stephen, the protomartyr, calls out the Jews as the enemy who killed Christ
There are many other passages in the Bible that show that Jews are the enemies of God and Christians
Let’s start with what Our Lord says.
In Matthew 23, Christ criticizes the Jews who oppose Him for their perfidy, hypocrisy, blindness, and evilness, calls them the sons of those who murdered the Prophets, and compares them to snakes, amongst other things.
In John 8:44, Christ tells the Jews who oppose Him: “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.”
In Apocalypse 2:9, Christ calls the Jews that oppose the church of Smyrna false Jews and calls them “the Synagogue of Satan”
Likewise, in Apocalypse 3:9, Christ tells St. John to write to the church of Philadelphia to tell them that the fake Jews, “the Synagogue of Satan”, will bow at the feet of Christians.
Objection: But Our Lord Is Not Talking About ALL Jews!
Answer: The context behind these passages is that Our Lord is referring to the Jews that reject Him as their rightful Messiah, and thus oppose Christianity. Those are the Jews He is criticizing and calling of their father, the devil!
Counter-question: Which Jews DO NOT reject Christ?
Answer: The ONLY Jews that DO NOT reject Christ are Christians.
Conclusion: Every Jew, that isn’t Christian (which happens to be the majority – both secular and religious Jews) is part of the Synagogue of Satan!
The Bible contains SEVERAL passages that show the Jews wanting to kill Christ.
For instance, John 5:18 says: “TheJews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath, but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God.”
How many passages show that Rome wanted to kill Christ? None!
Objection: But It Was Pontius Pilate Who Ordered The Crucifixion!
Answer: Pilate ordered the Crucifixion after several attempts to bargain with the Jews. He found “no cause” for the Crucifixion, and tried to avoid Crucifixion by torture through scourging and the crowning with thorns, bargaining for Christ to be released instead of Barrabas, and finally, washed his hands of it because his efforts were to no avail.
Here’s the key passages that show it was the Jews who ultimately took responsibility for Christ’s Crucifixion:
“When the chief priests, therefore, and the servants, had seen him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Take him you, and crucify him: for I find no cause in him.”
“But they cried out: Away with him; away with him; crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: ‘We have no king but Caesar.’”
“And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made; taking water washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man; look you to it.”
And when Pilate washed his hands of Christ’s Crucifixion, remember what the crowd of Jews said?
“His blood be upon us and our children.”
In other words, the Jews cursed themselves and their children for Christ’s Passion.
Objection: But God Wouldn’t Curse ALL Jews!
Answer: First, God didn’t actively curse the Jews. They cursed themselves, and God honored it.
Secondly, God has cursed whole peoples MANY times for the sins of their fathers.
Examples:
-Consequences of Original Sin for ALL men (Adam & Eve, Genesis 3)
-Cain and his descendants (Genesis 4)
-Ham and his descendants (Genesis 9)
-Esau and the Edomites (Malachias 1)
There are many others. I would suggest any of you that doubt that God would curse whole lines of people to read the Old Testament. Also, you can find exorcists, like Fr. Ripperger, talk about generational curses online.
Let’s look at what St. Peter says about the Jews killing Christ:
In Acts 2, St. Peter is speaking to a crowd of Jews in Jerusalem, starting in Act 2:14. St. Peter collectively charges the Jews in the crowd with killing Jesus Christ in both Acts 2:23 and Acts 2:36. Moreover, St. Peter tells St. Cornelius that the Jews killed Christ in Acts 10:39.
Objection: But the Jews didn’t kill Christ! The Catechism of Trent says we all did!
Answer: In a certain sense, yes, we are all responsible for Christ’s Passion. God the Son intentionally incarnated, suffered, and died for our sins, in order to redeem us. And yes, like the Catechism of Trent says, when we Catholics sin, we are worse than the Jews because we are His own and are betraying Him through our sins. However, all this being said, temporally-speaking, it was the Jews of Jerusalem that rejected Christ in the First Century that ordered His death.
Let’s look at what St. Paul says now.
In 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16, St. Paul tells us that Jews are the enemies of God and men:
“For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they have from the Jews, Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are adversaries to all men; Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end.”
Moreover, in Romans 11:28, St. Paul again tells us that Jews are our enemies, except for their fathers that believed in God.
Objection: But Not All Jews Are Our Enemies!
Answer: The Hebrew Patriarchs, Prophets, and heroes of the Old Testament are not our enemies. They are Saints.
Likewise, the Jewish Christians in the New Testament, and Christ Himself, are not our enemies.
Anyone who has Hebrew blood and has a true conversion to the one, true Faith, in our own time, is not our enemy.
Our enemies are the Jews who have a hardness of heart to their Messiah, and this includes all secular and religious Jews, since despite their differences, they all oppose Christ!
Counter-Response: But we should love our enemies!
Answer: Yes, we should! We should love the Jews so much that we want them to convert!
And indeed, Romans 11 does say that eventually the Jews will convert en masse, near the end of time, after all the Gentiles are called to believe.
Romans 11 is key to understanding everything here, so please do yourself a favor and read that chapter, prayerfully.
Now let’s look at what St. Stephen said to the Jews that were stoning him to death.
“You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you also.
Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them who foretold of the coming of the Just One; of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers:”
Objection: But It Was Only A Few Jews That Killed St. Stephen!
Answer: Yes, it was only a few Jews that killed St. Stephen. Just like it was a whole crowd of Jews that called for Our Lord to be crucified. Just like it was only a few Jews that went with St. Paul to hunt down the early Christians to slaughter them. It was only a few Jews that arrested St. Peter and John too. And it was only a few Jews that throughout the early Church persecuted Christians. However, all the Jews that didn’t actively persecute the Christians were still complicit in their support of those who did, and still rejected Christ and His Church. That alone makes them our enemies.
Read the Acts of the Apostles, and you will see several passages that show the Jews persecuting the Christians.
Let’s move on from Scripture now, to the Early Church.
What Did the Early Church Fathers Teach About The Jews?
The early Church Fathers virtually all made it clear that the Jews are the enemies of God and the human race.
Let’s look at quotes from the Church Fathers from the Second to Fifth Centuries to hear what they thought about the Jews, in their own words.
In the Epistle of Ignatius to the Magnesians, written in the early Second Century by St. Ignatius of Antioch, disciple of St. John the Apostle, Ignatius, criticizing the Judaizers, writes that Christ: “endured the cross at the hands of the Christ- killing Jews”
In his Dialogue with Trypho, written in the Second Century, St. Justin Martyr said: “Accordingly, [bad] things have happened to [Jews] in fairness and justice, for [Jews] have slain the Just One, and His prophets before Him; and now [Jews] reject those who hope in Him, and in Him who sent Him— God the Almighty and Maker of all things— cursing in your synagogues those that believe in Christ.”
In the Third Century, St. Cyprian, in his Testimonies Against the Jews, writes: “I have endeavoured to show that the Jews, according to what had before been foretold, had departed from God, and had lost God’s favour, which had been given them in past time, and had been promised them for the future; while the Christians had succeeded to their place, deserving well of the Lord by faith, and coming out of all nations and from the whole world.”
In his Expository Treatise Against the Jews, written in the third Century, St. Hippolytus says, regarding the Jews: “But why… was the temple made desolate? … but it was because they killed the Son of their Benefactor, for He is coeternal with the Father. Whence He saith, ‘Father, let their temple be made desolate’; …for they have persecuted Him whom Thou didst of Thine own will smite for the salvation of the world; that is, they have persecuted me with a violent and unjust death, ‘and they have added to the pain of my wounds.’ In former time, as the Lover of man, I had pain on account of the straying of the Gentiles; but to this pain they have added another, by going also themselves astray. Wherefore ‘add iniquity to their iniquity, and tribulation to tribulation, and let them not enter into Thy righteousness,’ that is, into Thy kingdom; but ‘let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous,’ that is, with their holy fathers and patriarchs.”
In the Fourth Century, St. Athanasius, writing in his On the Incarnation, says: “The Jews are afflicted like some demented person who sees the earth lit up by the sun, but denies the sun that lights it up! What more is there for their Expected One to do when he comes? To call the heathen? But they are called already. To put an end to prophet and king and vision? But this too has already happened. To expose the God-denyingness of idols? It is already exposed and condemned. Or to destroy death? It is already destroyed. What then has not come to pass that the Christ must do? What is there left out or unfulfilled that the Jews should disbelieve so light-heartedly?”
Also, in the Fourth Century, St. Basil the Great, writing On Prayer, said this about the Jews: “If someone should kill the beloved son of a man, and then stretch forth their hands still stained with blood to the afflicted father, asking for fellowship, would not the blood of his son, visible on the hand of his murderer, provoke him to just anger instead? And such are the prayers of the Jews, for when they stretch forth their hands in prayer, they only remind God the Father of their sin against His Son. And at every stretching-forth of their hands, they only make it obvious that they are stained with the blood of Christ. For they who persevere in their blindness inherit the blood-guilt of their fathers; for they cried out: ‘His blood be upon us, and upon our children’”
St. Ambrose, in his Fourth Century sermon on the Two Ships, said this: “The faithlessness of the Synagogue is an insult to the Savior. Therefore He chose the barque of Peter, and deserted that of Moses; that is, He rejected the faithless Synagogue, and adopts the believing Church.”
In one of his homilies against the Jews in the Fourth Century, St. John Chrysostom says this: “How dare Christians have the slightest doings with Jews, those most miserable of all men! They are lustful, rapacious, greedy, perfidious bandits, pests of the universe. Indeed, an entire day would not suffice to tell of all their rapine, their avarice, their deception of the poor, their thievery, and their huckstering. Are they not inveterate murderers, destroyers, men possessed by the devil? Jews are impure and impious, and their synagogue is a house of prostitution, a lair of beasts, a place of shame and ridicule, the domicile of the devil, as is also the soul of the Jew. As a matter of fact, Jews worship the devil: their rites are criminal and unchaste; their religion a disease; their synagogue an assembly of crooks, a den of thieves, a cavern of devils, an abyss of perdition! Why are the Jews degenerate? Because of their hateful assassination of Christ. This supreme crime lies at the root of their degradation and woes. The rejection and the dispersion of the Jews was the work of God and because of His absolute abandonment of the Jews. Thus, the Jew will live under the yoke of slavery without end. God hates the Jews, and on Judgement Day He will say to those who sympathize with them: “Depart from me, for you have had doings with My murderers!” Flee, then, from their assemblies, fly from their houses, and, far from venerating the synagogue, hold it in hatred and aversion”
In the late Fourth Century, St. Jerome, writing his 84 Epistle, says: “If it is expedient to hate any men and to loath any race, I have a strange dislike to those of the circumcision. For up to the present day they persecute our Lord Jesus Christ in the synagogues of Satan.”
In the Early Fifth Century, St. Augustine, writing in The City of God, Book 18, Chapter 46, says: “The Jews who slew Him, and would not believe in Him, because it behooved Him to die and rise again, were yet more miserably wasted by the Romans, and utterly rooted out from their kingdom, where aliens had already ruled over them, and were dispersed through the lands (so that indeed there is no place where they are not), and are thus by their own Scriptures a testimony to us that we have not forged the prophecies about Christ…God has shown the Church in her enemies the Jews the grace of His compassion, since, as says the apostle, their offense is the salvation of the Gentiles… And therefore He has not slain them, that is, He has not let the knowledge that they are Jews be lost in them, although they have been conquered by the Romans, lest they should forget the law of God, and their testimony should be of no avail in this matter of which we treat. But it was not enough that he should say, ‘Slay them not, lest they should at last forget Your law’, unless he had also added, ‘Disperse them’; because if they had only been in their own land with that testimony of the Scriptures, and not every where, certainly the Church which is everywhere could not have had them as witnesses among all nations to the prophecies which were sent before concerning Christ.”
St. Cyril of Alexandria expelled the Jews from Alexandria in 415 because they massacred Christians.
Objection: But All The Church Fathers Lived In A Time When Jews Persecuted The Christians!
Answer: Yes, it is true that in the Early Church the Jews actively persecuted Christians when Christians had no political power. However, as we will see going forward, the Church was still at odds with the Jews, even after the balance of power shifted towards the Church being the dominant power in the Middle Ages.
What Did The Church In The Early Middle Ages Teach About The Jews?
Throughout the early Middle Ages, the Magisterium and Saints made it very clear that the Jews were the enemies of Christians and should be seen as such.
The Popes also made it clear that we shouldn’t harm the Jews nor force them to convert; this policy was known as Sicut Judaeis.
The Church made it clear that Jews cannot hold public offices; condemned Catholics, especially clerics, who supported Jews over Christians; condemned crypto-jewry; condemned Jews owning Christian slaves; and the Church revoked other rights from the Jews.
The Church also expelled the Jews.
Why did the Church do all these things? Because the Jews are enemies of God, the Church, and all men; and the Jews cursed themselves when they killed Jesus Christ.
Now let’s look at passages from these Magisterial documents and Saints to see what they say.
Sicut Judaeis
Even though Catholic Popes consistently criticized the behavior of the Jews, Sicut Judaeis was a standing order for Christians to never harm the Jews, which started with Pope St. Gregory the Great in the late 6th century.
In 598 AD, Pope St. Gregory the Great, who was very critical of the Jews owning Christian slaves, mercifully said this in a letter:
“Just as one ought not to grant any freedom to the Jews in their synagogues beyond that permitted by law, so should the Jews in no way suffer in those things already conceded to them.”
Here is a sample of Sicut Judaeis written by Pope Alexander III, with additions by Pope Innocent III:
“[The Jews] ought to suffer no prejudice…. We, out of the meekness of Christian piety, and in keeping in the footprints or Our predecessors of happy memory, the Roman Pontiffs Calixtus, Eugene, Alexander, Clement, admit their petition, and We grant them the buckler of Our protection.
For We make the law that no Christian compel them, unwilling or refusing, by violence to come to baptism. But, if any one of them should spontaneously, and for the sake of the faith, fly to the Christians, once his choice has become evident, let him be made a Christian without any calumny. Indeed, he is not considered to possess the true faith of Christianity who is not recognized to have come to Christian baptism, not spontaneously, but unwillingly.
Too, no Christian ought to presume…to injure their persons, or with violence to take their property, or to change the good customs which they have had until now in whatever region they inhabit.
Besides, in the celebration of their own festivities, no one ought disturb them in any way, with clubs or stones, nor ought any one try to require from them or to extort from them services they do not owe, except for those they have been accustomed from times past to perform.…
We decree… that no one ought to dare mutilate or diminish a Jewish cemetery, nor, in order to get money, to exhume bodies once they have been buried.
If anyone, however, shall attempt, the tenor of this decree once known, to go against it…let him be punished by the vengeance of excommunication, unless he correct his presumption by making equivalent satisfaction.
We desire, however, that only those be fortified by the guard of this protection who shall have presumed no plotting for the subversion of the Christian faith.”
That last part is important. This Papal protection only applies to Jews that haven’t subverted the Faith. And we will see throughout this series that this is something that happens quite frequently.
Objection: But Sicut Judaeis Is Proof That Jews Are Innocent And Christians Are Guilty Of Persecution!
Answer: Although it is true that some Christians unjustly sinned against some Jews or sometimes went above and beyond the law to administer heavier punishments than were just, the reasons for these reactionary responses stem from the fact that the Jews were mocking Christians in Holy Days, assaulting Christians, charing excessive usury against Christians, enslaving Christians, defrauding Christians, and doing many other horrible things that demanded justice.
From the late 6th Century to the early 8th Century, Visigothic Spain had problems with the Sephardic Jewish population and passed several laws against Jewish persecutions of the Catholics in this time span.
The 3rd Council of Toledo, a local Spanish synod presided over by St. Leander of Seville in the late Sixth Century, promulgated this 14th canon against the Jews, who were persecuting Catholics in Spain before the Visigoth conversion to Catholicism, which said this in the canon:
“No public offices shall be conferred on [the Jews] by virtue of which they could impose penalties on Christians.”
The 4th Council of Toledo, a local Spanish synod presided over by St. Isidore of Seville in the mid Seventh Century, had many canons against the Jews. Most notably, Canon 58, criticizing those Catholics who support the Jews, said this:
“Concerning those who show support and favour to the Jews against the faith of Christ. The avarice of some is so great that they therefore separate themselves from the faith, just as the Apostle expressed it; just as even many among the clergy and laity accept presents from the Jews and aid their perfidy, in that they allow them to enjoy their protection; to those, of whom one knows not without reasons, that they belong to the body of the Antichrist, since they work against Christ. Every bishop, priest or layman, who in the future grants support to them (the Jews) against the Christian faith, be it through briberies or favours, shall be regarded as profane and blaspheming God. He shall be excluded from the Communion of the Catholic Church and be regarded as not belonging to the kingdom of God; for it is no more than right that those who reveal themselves as protectors of the enemies of the Lord be separated from the body of Christ.”
The 6th, 9th, 10th, 12th, and 16th Councils of Toledo, local Spanish synods presided over by various Catholic Visigoth Kings and affirmed by their local bishops in the Seventh Century, passed dozens of canons against the Jews, specifically condemning crypto-Jewry, Jews owning Christian slaves, and Catholic clerics who allied with the Jews.
The 17th Council of Toledo, a local Spanish synod presided over by St. Felix of Seville in the late Seventh Century, in a final attempt to deal with the Jewish problem in Visigothic Spain, said this in Canon 8:
“Concerning the condemnation of the Jews.—And since it is known that the Jewish people with wickedness, blasphemy, and the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ, in addition through the violation of the oath (because, among other things they had sworn to be true Christians and not to honour Judaism in secret) they are polluted, so that the wickedness has no end, they therefore must weep that they have committed such a serious, horrible sin, who on account of their wickedness wished not only to destroy the Church, but have also attempted with tyrannical bravado to ruin the fatherland and the nation, and had rejoiced because they held their time to have come, and to have caused harm to Catholics. Therefore must this cruel, astonishing arrogance be done penance with a still more cruel punishment. So must judgment against them be all the stricter, and whatever is established of infamy must be everywhere punished. In connection with other affairs we here at this Council have learned of their conspiracy. Thus not only on account of breaking their promise have they polluted, through belonging to their sects, the garb (tunica) of faith with which the Holy Church had invested them with holy baptism, but wished also to gain control of the royal throne through the conspiracy.
Since we have learned through their own confessions of this disastrous wickedness, they should be punished with irrevocable censure through the condemnation of our decree. Upon command, namely of our devout religious prince Egica, who serves the Lord zealously and is strong in Holy Faith, should not only the mocking of the cross of Christ but also the planned destruction of his people and country be avenged, against which they proceeded so cruelly. They shall proceed more strictly against them and their property be confiscated, which then falls into the state treasury. In addition they themselves, their women, children and other descendants in all provinces of Spain live in eternal servitude. They must leave their homeland, must be driven apart from one another and must serve whosoever the King so commands. . . Over their children of both sexes we shall dispose, so that, as soon as they are seven years old, they be separated from their parents and no relationship be allowed to them. Their own masters shall give them over to true Christians for education, so that the men marry with Christian women and conversely. As we had already said, it is allowed neither the parents nor the children to celebrate the ceremonies of Jewish superstition or to fall back upon any occasion again into unbelief.”
Unfortunately, in the early Eighth Century the Jews aided the Muslims in conquering Visigothic Spain. The unholy alliance of the Muslims and Jews against Spanish Catholics lasted for almost 800 years. It wasn’t until 1492 that all of Spain was finally reconquered by the Catholic monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, who passed the Alhambra Decree expelling the Jews from Spain only months after the Reconquista ended.
Objection: But The Toledo Councils Were Not Official Magisterium!
Answer: No, they weren’t. However, they set precedents that were later referenced by Popes and Ecumenical Councils in official Magisterium in the High Middle Ages.
The Second Council of Nicaea, in 787, says, in Canon 8:
“Since some of those who come from the religion of the Hebrews mistakenly think to make a mockery of Christ who is God, pretending to become Christians, but denying Christ in private by both secretly continuing to observe the sabbath and maintaining other Jewish practices, we decree that they shall not be received to communion or at prayer or into the church, but rather let them openly be Hebrews according to their own religion; they should not baptize their children or buy, or enter into possession of, a slave. But if one of them makes his conversion with a sincere faith and heart, and pronounces his confession wholeheartedly, disclosing their practices and objects in the hope that others may be refuted and corrected, such a person should be welcomed and baptized along with his children, and care should be taken that they abandon Hebrew practices. However if they are not of this sort, they should certainly not be welcomed.”
Objection: But Someone Can Be A Jewish-Christian These Days!
Answer: Is this really true, though? Christ Himself said: “No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Christ also said: “A house divided against itself shall not stand.” We have seen that Judaism is by definition antichrist, and Christianity is by definition pro-Christ. You cannot syncretize 2 opposing religions without breaking the Law of Noncontradiction unless you force one to submit to the other. And in practice, when syncretization is done, Catholicism is always made the servant to the other. To this Christ said: “He that is not with me, is against me.” And thus is the problem of these Neo-Judaizer crypto-Jews: They always want to serve Jewry before Christ, and thus can never be truly Christian while they retain their Jewishness.
Writing in the Ninth Century, St. Agobard said: “Jews are cursed and covered with malediction. The curse has penetrated them like water in their bowels and oil in their bones. They are cursed in the city and cursed in the country, cursed in their coming in and cursed in their going out. Cursed are the fruits of their loins, of their lands, of their flocks; cursed are their cellars, their granaries, their shops, their food, the very crumbs off their tables!”
In the 10th century, Pope Leo VII allowed Archbishop Frederick of Mainz to expel the Jews who refused to convert, saying:
“Let the Gospel be preached to them and, if they remain obstinate, let them be expelled.”
Objection: But The Pope Was Mean For Not Letting The Jews To Stay In Mainz!
Answer: The Jews in Mainz were given a choice to convert to Catholicism or leave. Many chose to leave. The reason they were given this choice is because the Jews were persecuting Christians through assault, slavery, usury, and other persecutions directed at Christians, so this was a last resort measure.
What Did The Church In The High Middle Ages Teach About The Jews?
Throughout the High Middle Ages, the Magisterium and Saints made it very clear that the Jews were the enemies of Christians and should be seen as such.
The Church made it clear that the Jews killed Christ and cursed themselves; are faithless and perfidious; are to be permanently dispersed throughout the world; are to serve Christians; that Christians cannot serve them; that their legal testimony is to be held in lower esteem than Christian testimony; that they cannot charge excessive usury; that they have to dress differently in public; that they cannot hold public office; that they must give up jewishness when converting; and that they must forgive interest and defer repayment of loans made to crusaders.
The Church also expelled the Jews multiple times.
Now let’s look at passages from these Magisterial documents and Saints to see what they say.
In 1146, writing a letter To the archbishops of the Eastern Francs and Bavarians, Doctor of the Church, St. Bernard of Clairvaux says: “[The Jews] are living signs to use, representing the Lord’s passion. For this reason they are dispersed into all regions, that now they may pay the just penalty of so great a crime, and that they may be witnesses of our redemption. Wherefore the Church, speaking in the same Psalm, says, “Scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.” So has it been. They have been dispersed, cast down. They undergo a hard captivity under Christian princes.”
The Third Lateran Council, which convened in 1179 AD under Pope Alexander III, says in Canon 26: “Jews and Saracens are not to be allowed to have Christian servants in their houses, either under pretense of nourishing their children or for service or any other reason. Let those be excommunicated who presume to live with them. We declare that the evidence of Christians is to be accepted against Jews in every case, since Jews employ their own witnesses against Christians, and that those who prefer Jews to Christians in this matter are to lie under anathema, since Jews ought to be subject to Christians and to be supported by them on grounds of humanity alone. If any by the inspiration of God are converted to the Christian faith, they are in no way to be excluded from their possessions, since the condition of converts ought to be better than before their conversion. If this is not done, we enjoin on the princes and rulers of these places, under penalty of excommunication, the duty to restore fully to these converts the share of their inheritance and goods.”
This canon was the first canon of extraordinary Magisterium to oppose the ongoing problem of Jews having Christian servants and slaves and to combat preferential treatment of Jews in the legal system, since before this canon (and even afterwards) Jews would use usury to force Christians to serve them and use their wealth to bribe judges and juries to win court cases.
In the Early Thirteenth Century, Pope Innocent III decreed in the papal bull, Ut Esset Cain: “As Cain was a wanderer and an outcast, not to be killed by anyone but marked with the sign of fear on his forehead, so the Jews . . . against whom the voice of the blood of Christ cries out . . . although they are not to be killed they must always be dispersed as wanderers upon the face of the earth.”
Pope Innocent III also decreed in the papal bull, Etsi Judaeos: “Although Christian piety tolerates the Jews . . . whose own fault commits them to perpetual slavery . . . and allows them to continue with us (even though the Moors will not tolerate them), they must not be allowed to remain ungrateful to us in such a way as to repay us with contumely for favors and contempt for our familiarity. They are admitted to our familiarity only through our mercy; but they are to us dangerous as the insect in the apple, as the serpent in the breast * * * Since, therefore, they have already begun to gnaw like the rat, and to stink like the serpent, it is to our shame that the fire in our breast which is being eaten into by them, does not consume them * * * As they are reprobate slaves of the Lord, in whose death they evilly conspired (at least by the effect of the deed), let them acknowledge themselves as slaves of those whom the death of Christ has made free.”
Pope Innocent III also decreed in the papal bull, Etsi non displiceat: “Although it be not displeasing to the Lord, but rather acceptable to Him, that the Jewish Dispersion should live and serve under Christian princes * * * they greatly offend in the sight of God’s Divine Majesty who prefer the offspring of the Crucifiers before those who are the heirs of Christ. * * * It has come to our knowledge that in the kingdom of France Jews have so much liberty that, under a species of usury—by which they not only extort interest, but interest from interest—they obtain control of the goods of the churches and the possessions of the Christians. * * * Furthermore, although it was decreed in the Lateran Council that Jews be not permitted to have Christian servants in their homes, either as tutors for their children or for domestic service, or for any reason whatsoever, they still persist in having Christians as servants and nurses, with whom they commit abominations of a kind which it rather becomes you to punish than us to explain. And again, although the same Council laid it down that the testimony of Christians against Jews is to be admitted, even when the former use Jewish witnesses against Christians, and decreed that in a case of this kind anyone who would prefer Jews before Christians is to be condemned as anathema, yet up to the present time things are so carried on in the kingdom of France, that the testimony of Christians against Jews is not believed, whereas Jews are admitted as witnesses against Christians. And at times, when they to whom Jews have loaned money with usury produce Christian witnesses about the facts of payment, THE DEED WHICH THE CHRISTIAN DEBTOR THROUGH NEGLIGENCE INDISCREETLY LEFT WITH THEM IS BELIEVED RATHER THAN THE WITNESSES WHOM THEY BRING FORWARD. On Good Friday also, contrary to the law of old, they walk through the streets and public squares, and meeting Christians who everywhere according to custom go to adore the Crucifix, they deride them and strive to prevent them from this duty of adoration. We warn and exhort Your Serene Majesty in the Lord (adding the remission of your sins) that you force the Jews from their presumption * * * and see to it that due punishment be meted out to all such blasphemers, and that an easy pardon be not given to delinquents!”
Objection: Pope Innocent III Was Just A “Mean Ol’ Antisemite”!
Answer: Despite what your personal opinion is regarding Pope Innocent III, the fact of the matter is that he was a legitimate Pope, and his ordinary Magisterium did universally teach that the Jews are our enemies, that they killed Christ, cursed themselves, earned a perpetual diaspora, and earned perpetual servitude because of their Deicide. He also demanded the Third Lateran Council, Canon 26 be obeyed. His ordinary and universal Magisterium requires assent of intellect and will from all faithful, under pain of sin.
The Fourth Lateran Council, convened by the same Pope Innocent III in 1215 AD, specifically condemned Jewish usury, in Canon 67: “Jews and excessive Usury
The more the Christian religion is restrained from usurious practices, so much the more does the perfidy of the Jews grow in these matters, so that within a short time they are exhausting the resources of Christians. Wishing therefore to see that Christians are not savagely oppressed by Jews in this matter, we ordain by this synodal decree that if Jews in future, on any pretext, extort oppressive and excessive interest from Christians, then they are to be removed from contact with Christians until they have made adequate satisfaction for the immoderate burden. Christians too, if need be, shall be compelled by ecclesiastical censure, without the possibility of an appeal, to abstain from commerce with them. We enjoin upon princes not to be hostile to Christians on this account, but rather to be zealous in restraining Jews from so great oppression. We decree, under the same penalty, that Jews shall be compelled to make satisfaction to churches for tithes and offerings due to the churches, which the churches were accustomed to receive from Christians for houses and other possessions, before they passed by whatever title to the Jews, so that the churches may thus be preserved from loss.”
The Fourth Lateran Council also says this, in Canon 68: “Jews appearing in public
A difference of dress distinguishes Jews or Saracens from Christians in some provinces, but in others a certain confusion has developed so that they are indistinguishable. Whence it sometimes happens that by mistake Christians join with Jewish or Saracen women, and Jews or Saracens with Christian women. In order that the offence of such a damnable mixing may not spread further, under the excuse of a mistake of this kind, we decree that such persons of either sex, in every Christian province and at all times, are to be distinguished in public from other people by the character of their dress — seeing moreover that this was enjoined upon them by Moses himself, as we read. They shall not appear in public at all on the days of lamentation and on passion Sunday; because some of them on such days, as we have heard, do not blush to parade in very ornate dress and are not afraid to mock Christians who are presenting a memorial of the most sacred passion and are displaying signs of grief. What we most strictly forbid however, is that they dare in any way to break out in derision of the Redeemer. We order secular princes to restrain with condign punishment those who do so presume, lest they dare to blaspheme in any way him who was crucified for us, since we ought not to ignore insults against him who blotted out our wrongdoings.”
Here is an example of the yellow badges the Church asked the Jews to wear.
Here are examples of the Jew hats the Jews were to wear.
Additionally, the Fourth Lateran Council says this in Canon 69: “Jews not to hold public offices
It would be too absurd for a blasphemer of Christ to exercise power over Christians. We therefore renew in this canon, on account of the boldness of the offenders, what the council of Toledo providently decreed in this matter : we forbid Jews to be appointed to public offices, since under cover of them they are very hostile to Christians. If, however, anyone does commit such an office to them let him, after an admonition, be curbed by the provincial council, which we order to be held annually, by means of an appropriate sanction. Any official so appointed shall be denied commerce with Christians in business and in other matters until he has converted to the use of poor Christians, in accordance with the directions of the diocesan bishop, whatever he has obtained from Christians by reason of his office so acquired, and he shall surrender with shame the office which he irreverently assumed. We extend the same thing to pagans.”
Also, in Canon 70, the Fourth Lateran Council says: “Jewish converts may not retain their old rite
Certain people who have come voluntarily to the waters of sacred baptism, as we learnt, do not wholly cast off the old person in order to put on the new more perfectly. For, in keeping remnants of their former rite, they upset the decorum of the Christian religion by such a mixing. Since it is written, cursed is he who enters the land by two paths, and a garment that is woven from linen and wool together should not be put on, we therefore decree that such people shall be wholly prevented by the prelates of churches from observing their old rite, so that those who freely offered themselves to the Christian religion may be kept to its observance by a salutary and necessary coercion. For it is a lesser evil not to know the Lord’s way than to go back on it after having known it.”
Moreover, Canon 71 of the Fourth Lateran Council says this: “If any of those setting out [on a crusade] are bound by oath to pay interest [on loans from Jews], we ordain that their creditors shall be compelled by the same punishment to release them from their oath and to desist from exacting the interest; if any of the creditors does force them to pay the interest, we command that he be forced by similar punishment to restore it. We order that Jews be compelled by the secular power to remit interest, and that until they do so all intercourse shall be denied them by all Christ’s faithful under pain of excommunication. Secular princes shall provide a suitable deferral for those who cannot now pay their debts to Jews, so that after they have undertaken the journey and until there is certain knowledge of their death or of their return, they shall not incur the inconvenience of paying interest. The Jews shall be compelled to add to the capital, after they have deducted their necessary expenses, the revenues which they are meanwhile receiving from property held by them on security. For, such a benefit seems to entail not much loss, inasmuch as it postpones the repayment but does not cancel the debt. Prelates of churches who are negligent in showing justice to crusaders and their families should know that they will be severely punished.”
The First Council of Lyons, in 1245, repeated this canon.
Objection: But All Of These Canons Established Disciplines That Are No Longer In Force!
Answer: This is true. Disciplines in the Church are subject to change. However, all disciplines the Church establishes must be in conformity to Catholic Faith and morality. Thus, these disciplines were in conformity to Catholic Faith and morality. And again, if you look at what Pope Innocent III (and other Popes, and virtually all the Church Fathers and Doctors) taught about the Jews, it is most certainly clear that these disciplines followed from the perennial Church teaching on the Jews and were very consistent with them. Moreover, these disciplines were repeatedly brought back by later Popes and Councils, as we will see in late Middle Ages and Early Modernity.
In 1233, Pope Gregory IX, writing an Epistle to the Hierarchy of Germany, said: “Ungrateful for favors and forgetful of benefits, the Jews return insult for kindness and impious contempt for goodness. They ought to know the yoke of perpetual enslavement because of their guilt. See to it that the perfidious Jews never in the future grow insolent, but that they always suffer publicly the shame of their sin in servile fear.”
Moreover, Pope Gregory IX said this to the German bishops: “The Jews, who are admitted to our acquaintance only through our mercy, should never forget their yoke of perpetual slavery, which they bear through their own fault. In the Council of Toledo it was decreed that Jews of both sexes, and for all time, should be distinguished from others by their mode of dress. We therefore command that each and every one of you to have all the excesses of the Jews completely repressed, lest they should presume to raise their necks from the yoke of servitude in contumely of the Redeemer; forbidding them to discuss in any way concerning their faith or rites with Christians. In this matter calling to your aid the help of the civil power, inflicting upon Christians, who offer opposition, due ecclesiastical punishment”
In the 1234 Decretals of Gregory IX, written by St. Raymond of Penyafort under the orders of Pope Gregory IX, Pope Gregory IX invested the doctrine of perpetua servitus iudaeorum – perpetual servitude of the Jews – with the force of canonical law.
In 1253 AD, Pope Innocent IV allowed the Archbishop of Vienne to expel the Jews because the Archbishop said that the Jewish community was a threat to Christian souls and had not followed the rules set by the Church.
In 1271, Angelic Doctor of the Church St. Thomas Aquinas writes a “Letter on the Treatment of Jews” to Margaret, Countess of Flanders or to Marguerite, Duchess of Brabant, saying that: “The Jews by reason of their fault are sentenced to perpetual servitude and thus the lords of the lands in which they dwell may take things from them as though they were their own.”
Objection: But The Jews Cannot Be Perpetual Servants Of Catholics! That’s Not Christian!
Answer: Well, as we have already seen, that’s not what the Popes, Councils, Church Fathers, Doctors, and other Saints believed. The Church made it clear that because of their rejection of Christ, participation in His murder, and the cursing of themselves, that the Jews incurred the just punishment of a perpetual diaspora and servitude in Christian nations. And we will see moving forward, that these beliefs have only continued to be reinforced in the Church.
What Did The Church In The Late Middle Ages Teach About The Jews?
Throughout the Late Middle Ages, the Magisterium and Saints made it very clear that the Jews were the enemies of Christians and should be seen as such.
The Church made it clear that the Jews would be damned for dying outside of the Church; that the Mosaic Law ended when Christ established the New Covenant; that the Jews should be separated from Christians; and affirmed the anti-Judaic disciplines of previous Councils.
The Church segregated the Jews and also expelled the Jews multiple times.
Now let’s look at passages from these Magisterial documents and Saints to see what they say.
In the early 1320s, Pope John XXII expelled the Jews from Comtat Venaissin because of Jewish persecution against Christians.
In the Fourteenth Century, St. Vincent Ferrer converted tens of thousands of Jews to Catholicism often by preaching to them in their synagogues and later converted these synagogues into churches. Not one to mince words, St. Vincent Ferrer would preach the unfiltered truth to the Jews, saying things like: “One who dies a Jew will be damned.”
Objection: But Telling The Jews That They Will Be Damned Is Not Very Nice!
Answer: No, it’s not. But it’s true. And if you love someone you will tell them the truth, even if it’s a harsh truth. And have you converted tens of thousands of Jews, like St. Vincent Ferrer did, with your “niceness”? I didn’t think so. Be like St. Vincent Ferrer.
Speaking of telling the Jews they should convert or be damned, the Ecumenical Council of Florence, in union with Pope Eugene IV, dogmatically declared: “It firmly believes, professes and preaches that all those who are outside the catholic church, not only pagans but also JEWS or heretics and schismatics, cannot share in eternal life and will go into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless they are joined to the catholic church before the end of their lives”
Moreover, the Council of Florence dogmatically declared: “It firmly believes, professes and teaches that the legal prescriptions of the old Testament or the Mosaic law, which are divided into ceremonies, holy sacrifices and sacraments, because they were instituted to signify something in the future, although they were adequate for the divine cult of that age, once our lord Jesus Christ who was signified by them had come, came to an end and the sacraments of the new Testament had their beginning. Whoever, after the passion, places his hope in the legal prescriptions and submits himself to them as necessary for salvation and as if faith in Christ without them could not save, sins mortally. It does not deny that from Christ’s passion until the promulgation of the gospel they could have been retained, provided they were in no way believed to be necessary for salvation. But it asserts that after the promulgation of the gospel they cannot be observed without loss of eternal salvation. Therefore it denounces all who after that time observe circumcision, the sabbath and other legal prescriptions as strangers to the faith of Christ and unable to share in eternal salvation, unless they recoil at some time from these errors. Therefore it strictly orders all who glory in the name of Christian, not to practise circumcision either before or after baptism, since whether or not they place their hope in it, it cannot possibly be observed without loss of eternal salvation.”
In other words, the false religion of Judaism is not salvific.
Objection: But God Never Revoked His Covenant With The Jews!
Answer: Well as the 2 Dogmas of the Church made clear, Dual-Covenant theology is a heresy that cannot be reconciled with these Dogmas. And no, Jews cannot be saved outside of the Catholic Church. The good news for the Jews is that God keeps His door open for their conversion, just like He does for the gentiles, so if the Jews want to be saved, then they must convert 100% to Catholicism and leave their Jewishness behind.
The Council of Florence also renewed canons of previous Councils, saying: “Furthermore, renewing the sacred canons, we command both diocesan bishops and secular powers to prohibit in every way Jews and other infidels from having Christians, male or female, in their households and service, or as nurses of their children; and Christians from joining with them in festivities, marriages, banquets or baths, or in much conversation, and from taking them as doctors or agents of marriages or officially appointed mediators of other contracts. They should not be given other public offices, or admitted to any academic degrees, or allowed to have on lease lands or other ecclesiastical rents. They are to be forbidden to buy ecclesiastical books, chalices, crosses and other ornaments of churches under pain of the loss of the object, or to accept them in pledge under pain of the loss of the money that they lent. They are to be compelled, under severe penalties, to wear some garment whereby they can be clearly distinguished from Christians. In order to prevent too much intercourse, they should be made to dwell in areas, in the cities and towns, which are apart from the dwellings of Christians and as far distant as possible from churches. On Sundays and other solemn festivals they should not dare to have their shops open or to work in public.”
In 1442, Pope Eugene IV, in Dundum Ad Nostram Audientiam, decreed: “We decree and order that from now on, and for all time, Christians shall not eat or drink with Jews; nor admit them to feasts, nor cohabit with them, nor bathe with them. Christians shall not allow Jews to hold civil honors over Christians, or to exercise public offices in the State. Jews cannot be merchants, Tax Collectors, or agents in the buying and selling of the produce and goods of Christians, nor their Procurators, Computers or Lawyers in matrimonial matters, nor Obstetricians; nor can they have association or partnership with Christians. No Christian can leave or bequeath anything in his last Will and Testament to Jews or their congregations. Jews are prohibited from erecting new synagogues. They are obliged to pay annually a tenth part of their goods and holdings. Against them Christians can testify, but the testimony of Jews against Christians in no case is of any value. All and every single Jew, of whatever sex and age, must everywhere wear the distinct dress and known marks by which they can be evidently distinguished from Christians. They cannot live among Christians, but in a certain street, separated and segregated from Christians, and outside which they cannot under any pretext have houses”
Objection: But It’s Not Charitable To Force Jews To be Segregated From Christians!
Answer: Really? Is it more charitable to allow Jews to live amongst Christians and constantly subvert Christian morality, take advantage of poorer Christians, mock, and abuse Christians? If 2 children were constantly fighting each other all the time, wouldn’t the wise and charitable action be to separate them, so that they can live more peaceful lives without constant conflict? Now apply that logic to 2 peoples who historically cannot get along. Is it not more wise and charitable to separate them, so that the greater good can be realized?
In the Fifteenth Century, St. John Capistrano, who is called “Scourge of the Jews” by the Church, said: “Christ is King, and Christ’s Church is the kingdom of God. The Jews are the descendants of those who killed this king. They have inherited hatred against Christ from their ancestors, and they give it full vent wherever they can do so with impunity. Therefore, we are justified in suspecting them. They are now simply our enemies and are known as such. They have crucified our Lord Jesus Christ.”
In 1492, Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, after conquering the Muslim Moors and their Jewish allies in the Reconquista, united Spain as a Catholic state, and subsequently promulgated the Alhambra Decree, which expelled the Jews from Spain who refused to convert. This was to ensure that the traitorous Jews couldn’t rebel and ally with the Moors again to retake Spain, as it happened in Catholic Visigothic Spain in the 8th Century.
Objection: But Ferdinand And Isabella Were Wrong For Expelling The Jews!
Answer: The Jews were historically traitors to the Catholics and allied with the Muslim Moors in conquering Visigothic Catholic Spain. Giving traitors the opportunity to convert or leave is a great mercy, since historically capital punishment was the sentence for treason.
Moreover, as we will see in the next episode, the Church tended to see it as more and more prudent to keep Jews separated from Christians.
What Did The Church In Early Modernity Teach About The Jews?
Throughout Early Modernity, the Magisterium and Saints made it very clear that the Jews were the enemies of Christians and should be seen as such.
The Church affirmed the anti-Judaic disciplines of previous Councils, created ghettos for the Jews, and expelled them multiple times..
Now let’s look at passages from these Magisterial documents and Saints to see what they say.
On July 14th, 1555, Pope Paul IV published the Papal Bull, Cum Nimis Absurdum, saying: ”Since it is completely senseless and inappropriate to be in a situation where Christian piety allows the Jews (whose guilt—all of their own doing—has condemned them to eternal slavery) access to our society and even to live among us; indeed, they are without gratitude to Christians, as, instead of thanks for gracious treatment, they return invective, and among themselves, instead of the slavery, which they deserve, they manage to claim superiority: we, who recently learned that these very Jews have insolently invaded Rome from a number of the Papal States, territories and domains, to the extent that not only have they mingled with Christians (even when close to their churches) and wearing no identifying garments, but to dwell in homes, indeed, even in the more noble [dwellings] of the states, territories and domains in which they lingered, conducting business from their houses and in the streets and dealing in real estate; they even have nurses and housemaids and other Christians as hired servants. And they would dare to perpetrate a wide variety of other dishonorable things, contemptuous of the [very] name Christian. Considering that the Church of Rome tolerates these very Jews (evidence of the true Christian faith) and to this end [we declare]: that they, won over by the piety and kindness of the See, should at long last recognize their erroneous ways, and should lose no time in seeing the true light of the catholic faith, and thus to agree that while they persist in their errors, realizing that they are slaves because of their deeds, whereas Christians have been freed through our Lord God Jesus Christ, and that it is unwarranted for it to appear that the sons of free women serve the sons of maids.”
Pope Paul IV then commanded 15 directives:
- The Jews were to be segregated into their own ghetto in Rome and wherever else they dwell.
- The Jews could only have one synagogue in any of their dwelling places.
- The Jews were to wear the Jewish hats and yellow stars in public.
- The Jews were forbidden to have Christian nurses, maids, servants, and wet-nurses.
- The Jews couldn’t work or have work done on Sundays or Catholic Feast Days.
- The Jews couldn’t incriminate Christians nor promulgate false or forged agreements.
- The Jews couldn’t play, eat, or fraternize with Christians.
- The Jews couldn’t use any language other than Latin or Italian in any legally recognized documents with Christians.
- The Jews were limited to the trade of rag-picking, and were not to trade in grain, barley, or any other commodity essential to human welfare.
- The Jews who were physicians were not to attend or treat any Christians.
- The Jews were not to be addressed as superiors, even by poor Christians.
- The Jews had severe restrictions enforced on their loan practices.
- The Jews were to adhere to all statutes regarding the primacy of Christians.
- Disobeying these directives would be treated as a crime punishable by judicial authority.
- The disciplines of this Papal bull overrode any other prior contrary Magisterium disciplines.
On February 26, 1569, Pope St. Pius V decreed, in Hebraeorum Gens: “The Jewish people fell from the heights because of their faithlessness and condemned their Redeemer to a shameful death. Their godlessness has assumed such forms that, for the salvation of our own people, it becomes necessary to prevent their disease. Besides usury, through which Jews everywhere have sucked dry the property of impoverished Christians, they are accomplices of thieves and robbers; and the most damaging aspect of the matter is that they allure the unsuspecting through magical incantations, superstition, and witchcraft to the Synagogue of Satan and boast of being able to predict the future. We have carefully investigated how this revolting sect abuses the name of Christ and how harmful they are to those whose life is threatened by their deceit. On account of these and other serious matters, and because of the gravity of their crimes which increase day to day more and more, We order that, within 90 days, all Jews in our entire earthly realm of justice — in all towns, districts, and places — must depart these regions. After this time limit shall all at the present or in the future, who dwell or wander into that city or other already mentioned, be affected, their property confiscated and handed over to the Siscus, and they shall becomes slaves of the Roman Church, live in perpetual servitude and the Roman Church shall have the same rights over them as the remaining [worldly] lords over slaves and property.”
Pope Clement VIII, in the Papal bull Caeca Et Obdurata, re-expelled the Jews from the Papal States, in 1593, after Pope Sixtus V let them back in 1586 because the laxity of Pope Sixtus V resulted in Jews taking advantage of Christians.
Yes, the Jews have been expelled from a lot of cities and countries over the past couple of millennia.
I have seen lists that suggest that Jews were expelled from countries 109 times, 1030 times, and even 1043 times throughout history!
On June 14th, 1751, Pope Benedict XIV, in his encyclical A Quo Primum, on Judaism in Poland, wrote: “Another threat to Christians has been the influence of Jewish faithlessness; this influence was strong because Christians and Jews were living in the same cities and towns…
…Because the Jews control businesses selling liquor and even wine, they are therefore allowed to supervise the collection of public revenues. They have also gained control of inns, bankrupt estates, villages and public land by means of which they have subjugated poor Christian farmers. The Jews are cruel taskmasters, not only working the farmers harshly and forcing them to carry excessive loads, but also whipping them for punishment. So it has come about that those poor farmers are the subjects of the Jews, submissive to their will and power. Furthermore, although the power to punish lies with the Christian official, he must comply with the commands of the Jews and inflict the punishments they desire. If he doesn’t, he would lose his post. Therefore the tyrannical orders of the Jews have to be carried out.
…In addition to the harm done to Christians in these regards, other unreasonable matters can result in even greater loss and danger. The most serious is that some households of the great have employed a Jew as “Superintendent-of-the-Household”; in this capacity, they not only administer domestic and economic matters, but they also ceaselessly exhibit and flaunt authority over the Christians they are living with. It is now even commonplace for Christians and Jews to intermingle anywhere. But what is even less comprehensible is that Jews fearlessly keep Christians of both sexes in their houses as their domestics, bound to their service. Furthermore, by means of their particular practice of commerce, they amass a great store of money and then by an exorbitant rate of interest utterly destroy the wealth and inheritance of Christians. Even if they borrow money from Christians at heavy and undue interest with their synagogues as surety, it is obvious to anyone who thinks about it that they do so to employ the money borrowed from Christians in their commercial dealings; this enables them to make enough profit to pay the agreed interest and simultaneously increase their own store. At the same time, they gain as many defenders of their synagogues and themselves as they have creditors.
…We adopt the same norm of action as did the Roman Pontiffs who were Our venerable predecessors. Alexander III forbade Christians under heavy penalties to accept permanent domestic service under Jews. “Let them not continually devote themselves to the service of Jews for a wage.” He sets out the reason for this in the decretal. “Because Jewish ways do not harmonize in any way with ours and they could easily turn the minds of the simple to their own superstitions and faithlessness through continual intercourse and unceasing acquaintance.” Innocent III, after saying that Jews were being received by Christians into their cities, warns that the method and condition of this reception should guard against their repaying the benefit with evildoing. “They on being admitted to our acquaintance in a spirit of mercy, repay us, the popular proverb says, as the mouse in the wallet, the snake in the lap and fire in the bosom usually repay their host.” The same Pope stated that it was fitting for Jews to serve Christians rather than vice versa and added: “Let not the sons of the free woman be servants of the sons of the handmaid; but as servants rejected by their lord for whose death they evilly conspired, let them realize that the result of this deed is to make them servants of those whom Christ’s death made free,” as we read in his decretal. Likewise in the decretal under the same heading, he forbids the promotion of Jews to public office: “forbidding Jews to be promoted to public offices since in such circumstances they may be very dangerous to Christians.” Innocent IV, also, in writing to St. Louis, King of France, who intended to drive the Jews beyond the boundaries of his kingdom, approves of this plan since the Jews gave very little heed to the regulations made by the Apostolic See in their regard: “Since We strive with all Our heart for the salvation of souls, We grant you full power by the authority of this letter to expel the Jews, particularly since We have learned that they do not obey the said statutes issued by this See against them”…
…You will recall the statutes and prescripts of the synods of your predecessors; they always entered in their constitutions every measure concerning the Jews which was sanctioned and ordained by the Roman Pontiffs.
…The essence of the difficulty, however, is that either the sanctions of the synods are forgotten or they are not put into effect. To you then, Venerable Brothers, passes the task of renewing those sanctions….You will be able to give these orders and commands easily and confidently, in that neither your property nor your privileges are hired to Jews; furthermore you do no business with them and you neither lend them money nor borrow from them. Thus, you will be free from and unaffected by all dealings with them.”
In the Eighteenth Century, Doctor of the Church St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote in The Passion And The Death of Jesus Christ these words: “Poor Jews! You invoked a dreadful curse upon your own heads in saying: ‘His blood be upon us and our children’; and that curse, miserable race, you carry upon you to this day, and to the End of Time you shall endure the chastisement of that innocent blood.”
I think after hearing all of this, it is clear that the Church has always taught that the Jews that rejected Christ are guilty of Deicide and cursing themselves.
Objection: But Why Was The Church So Critical To Those Poor Jews!?
Answer: Well, there is a good reason that the Church and the Saints were strongly anti-Jewish.
As you can probably tell from what the Saints say, some of the Canons on the Councils mentioned and the reasons given by these Popes in their Magisterium, the Jews, being the wealthy bankers and merchants of the Middle Ages, took advantage of Christians by charging heavy usury on loans, turning Christians into debt slaves, and many times – literal slaves – thus the Canons that condemned Jews owning Christians slaves.
Moreover, Jews have a hostility to Christians that goes back to the First Century, and literally see us as animals that they can do whatever they want with.
This is their “religion” as I will soon show you in the next episode.
What Does The Church Teach About The Talmud?
The Talmud Is Blasphemous and hateful towards Jesus Christ, the Blessed Mother, and Christians.
The Talmud is the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of Jewish religious law and Jewish theology. Until the advent of modernity, in nearly all Jewish communities, the Talmud was the centerpiece of Jewish cultural life and was foundational to “all Jewish thought and aspirations”, serving also as “the guide for the daily life” of Jews.
The Talmud started as the “Oral Torah”, full of the “traditions of men” that Christ Himself criticized in Mark 7:13 and Matthew 15:9, and after God willed the dispersion of the Jews in 70 AD, the Jews created the false religion of Rabbinical Judaism and started writing down their beliefs, and thus, they created the written Talmud.
Let’s look at what the Church did once they discovered the Talmud, and then read certain passages from the Talmud to see why the Church reacted the way it did.
In 1238, Jewish convert to Catholicism, Nicolas Donin, went to Rome to tell Pope Gregory IX that the Jewish Talmud contained blasphemies against God and Our Lady. Shortly after, the Pope issued the papal bull, Si vera sunt, which ordered all the Talmuds seized in France, and asked King St. Louis IX to give the Jews a fair trial to explain what their Talmud says.
Thus, King St. Louis IX presided over the trial over the Talmud in 1240. Consequently, after hearing Donin and the Catholics arguing against the Jewish Rabbis, King St. Louis IX ruled in favor of Donin. An inquisition burned 24 wagon loads, which contained around 10,000 copies of the Talmud, a couple years later. Thereafter, Popes ordered burnings of the Jewish Talmud throughout the rest of the middle ages.
In a papal bull, Impia Judaeorum Perfidia, to King St. Louis IX of France, on May 9, 1244, Pope Innocent IV said: “The impious perfidy of the Jews–from whose hearts because of the enormity of their crimes our Redeemer did not lift the veil but still permits them to remain, as is fitting, in the blindness which is characteristic of Israel–not regarding the fact that Christian piety receives them only out of pity and patiently endures dwelling together with them, commits those enormities which stupefy hearers and horrify narrators. For these ingrates to the Lord Jesus Christ, who patiently awaits their conversion out of the richness of His long-suffering, showing no shame for their fault nor respecting the honor of the Christian faith, and omitting or scorning the Mosaic law and the prophets, follow certain traditions of their seniors concerning which the Lord rebukes them in the Gospel, saying: Why do you transgress the mandate of God and irritate Him by your traditions, teaching human doctrines and mandates?
Upon this sort of traditions, which in Hebrew are called the Talmud–and there is a great book among them exceeding the text of the Bible in length, in which are manifest blasphemies against God and Christ and the blessed Virgin, intricate fables, erroneous abuses, and unheard-of stupidities–they nourish and teach their sons and render them utterly alien from the doctrine of the law and the prophets, fearing lest, if they knew the truth, which is in the law and the prophets, and which testifies openly that the only begotten son of God will come in the flesh, they would be converted to the faith and humbly return to their Redeemer. And not content with these things, they make Christian women nurses of their sons in contumely of the Christian faith, with whom they commit many shameful things. On which account the faithful should be afraid lest they incur divine wrath while they unworthily allow them to perpetrate acts which bring confusion upon our faith.
And although our cherished son, the chancellor of Paris, and the doctors teaching at Paris in holy writ, by the mandate of pope Gregory, our predecessor of happy memory, after reading and examining the said abusive book and certain others with all their glosses, publicly burned them in the presence of clergy and people to the confusion of the perfidy of the Jews, as we have seen stated in their letters, to whom you as catholic king and most Christian prince rendered suitable aid and favor in this, for which we commend your royal excellency with praises in the Lord and pursue with acts of grace: because nevertheless the profane abuse of the Jews themselves has not yet quieted nor has persecution yet given them understanding, we earnestly ask, admonish, and beseech your highness in the Lord Jesus Christ that against detestable and enormous excesses of this sort committed in contumely of the Creator and in injury to the Christian name, as you piously began, you laudably continue to proceed with due severity. And that you order both the aforesaid abusive books condemned by the same doctors and generally all the books with their glosses which were examined and condemned by them to be burned by fire wherever they can be found throughout your entire kingdom, strictly forbidding that Jews henceforth have Christian nurses or servants, that the sons of a free woman may not serve the sons of a handmaid, but as servants condemned by the Lord, whose death they wickedly plotted, they at least outwardly recognize themselves as servants of those whom the death of Christ made free and themselves slaves. So we may commend the zeal of your sincerity in the Lord with due praises.”
Objection: But Pope Leo X Endorsed The Printing Of The Talmud!
Answer: This is an exaggeration. Pope Leo X merely tolerated and allowed the Talmud to be printed. Pope Leo X knew that the Talmud was contrary to Christianity and originally wanted footnotes to be added that corrected any anti-Christian passages in the Talmud, but later relented on it being released as is. In a sense, this has been good for us Christians because now we can see all the evils that the Talmud contains….
Objection: But The Talmud Can’t Really Be THAT Bad…
Answer: It is. The Jews no longer even hide it. I will share some passages from the Talmud that I got from a Jewish website that has the English translation of the Talmud, called: Sefaria.org.
Let’s see what the Talmud says about Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ:
Sotah 47a, calling Our Lord a grave sinner, says:
“Rabbi Yehoshua ben Peraḥya then sat and was praising them by saying: How beautiful is this inn. Jesus the Nazarene, one of his students, said to him: My teacher, but the eyes of the innkeeper’s wife are narrow [terutot]. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Peraḥya said to him: Wicked one, is this what you are engaged in, gazing at women? He brought out four hundred shofarot and excommunicated him. Every day Jesus would come before him, but he would not accept his wish to return. One day, Rabbi Yehoshua ben Peraḥya was reciting Shema when Jesus came before him. He intended to accept him on this occasion, so he signaled to him with his hand to wait. Jesus thought he was rejecting him entirely. He therefore went and stood up a brick and worshipped it as an idol. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Peraḥya said to him: Return from your sins. Jesus said to him: This is the tradition that I received from you: Anyone who sins and causes the masses to sin is not given the opportunity to repent. The Gemara explains how he caused the masses to sin: For the Master said: Jesus the Nazarene performed sorcery, and he incited the masses, and subverted the masses, and caused the Jewish people to sin.”
Sanhedrin 43a, affirming the Gospel account of the Passion of Christ, but from a blasphemous Jewish perspective, says:
“On Passover Eve they hung the corpse of Jesus the Nazarene after they killed him by way of stoning. And a crier went out before him for forty days, publicly proclaiming: Jesus the Nazarene is going out to be stoned because he practiced sorcery, incited people to idol worship, and led the Jewish people astray. Anyone who knows of a reason to acquit him should come forward and teach it on his behalf. And the court did not find a reason to acquit him, and so they stoned him and hung his corpse on Passover eve. Ulla said: And how can you understand this proof? Was Jesus the Nazarene worthy of conducting a search for a reason to acquit him? He was an inciter to idol worship, and the Merciful One states with regard to an inciter to idol worship: “Neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him” (Deuteronomy 13:9). Rather, Jesus was different, as he had close ties with the government, and the gentile authorities were interested in his acquittal. Consequently, the court gave him every opportunity to clear himself, so that it could not be claimed that he was falsely convicted.”
Gittin 57a, says Jesus Christ is in Hell in boiling excrement:
“Onkelos then went and raised Jesus the Nazarene from the grave through necromancy. Onkelos said to him: Who is most important in that world where you are now? Jesus said to him: The Jewish people. Onkelos asked him: Should I then attach myself to them in this world? Jesus said to him: Their welfare you shall seek, their misfortune you shall not seek, for anyone who touches them is regarded as if he were touching the apple of his eye (see Zechariah 2:12).
Onkelos said to him: What is the punishment of that man, a euphemism for Jesus himself, in the next world? Jesus said to him: He [Jesus] is punished with boiling excrement [in Hell]. As the Master said: Anyone who mocks the words of the Sages will be sentenced to boiling excrement. And this was his sin, as he [Jesus] mocked the words of the Sages. The Gemara comments: Come and see the difference between the sinners of Israel and the prophets of the nations of the world. As Balaam, who was a prophet, wished Israel harm, whereas Jesus the Nazarene, who was a Jewish sinner, sought their well-being.”
Sanhedrin 67a, calling our Blessed Mother an adulteress, says:
“[The context here is that idol worshippers should be brought to court to be sentenced to stoning] And the court did the same to an inciter named ben Setada [a blasphemous name for Jesus], from the city of Lod, and they hanged him on Passover eve. The Gemara asks: Why did they call him ben Setada, when he was the son of Pandeira? Rav Ḥisda says: Perhaps his mother’s husband, who acted as his father, was named Setada, but his mother’s paramour, who fathered this mamzer [a person born from a relationship that is forbidden by Jewish law], was named Pandeira. The Gemara challenges: But his mother’s husband was Pappos ben Yehuda, not Setada. Rather, perhaps his mother was named Setada, and he was named ben Setada after her. The Gemara challenges: But his mother was Miriam [the Hebrew name for Mary], who braided women’s hair. The Gemara explains: That is not a contradiction; Setada was merely a nickname, as they say in Pumbedita: This one strayed [setat da] from her husband.”
Objection: But Jews Say This Is A Different Jesus!
Answer: Seriously!? Here’s what the Talmud Jesus has in common with the Christian Jesus:
1. His name is Jesus (or Yeshua)
2. He was a Nazarene
3. His Mother’s name was Miriam (or Mary)
4. His foster father wasn’t His real father
5. He went to Egypt and back to Judea
6. He was a well-known rabbi
7. He was accused of sorcery, idolatry, heresy, blasphemy, and leading Israel astray by the Jews
8. He was given a trial to defend Himself by the Sanhedrin
9. The Roman governor wanted to acquit Him
10. He was put to death and “hung” (or crucified) on Passover Eve
11. His followers healed in His Name (said in other Talmudic passages)
What are the chances of all these very specific details being true for a different person? 1 in a trillion? 1 in a quadrillion? How many coincidences can we tolerate before we just assent to the fact that the Jews are talking about our Jesus.
Additionally, the Talmud says a lot about how to treat us gentiles if the Jews were to openly have supreme power over the rest of the nations. They will enact what are called the “Noahide Laws” and treat us “sons of Noah” with prejudice.
Sanhedrin 57a, says: “gentiles should be executed for idol worship”
And yes, this does mean Christians will be executed for worshipping Jesus Christ because Jews consider worshipping Jesus Christ a form of idolatry. Here is proof.
In regards to stealing, Sanhedrin 57a, says: “[if stealing is] done by a gentile to another gentile, or by a gentile to a Jew, the action is prohibited; but if a Jew does so to a gentile, it is permitted”
In regards to murder, Sanhedrin 57a, says: “if a gentile murders another gentile, or a gentile murders a Jew, he is liable. If a Jew murders a gentile, he is exempt.”
In regards to paying wages, Sanhedrin 57a, says: “one who withholds the wages of a hired laborer; for a gentile to do so to another gentile and for a gentile to do so to a Jew is prohibited, but for a Jew to do so to a gentile is permitted.”
Sanhedrin 58b says: “A gentile who struck a Jew is liable to receive the death penalty”
Sanhedrin 58b says: “A gentile who observed Shabbat is liable to receive the death penalty..If a descendant of Noah observes a day of rest on any day of the week, even one not set aside for religious worship, e.g., on a Monday, he is liable..” This is obviously anti-Christian because it says we cannot observe the Lord’s Day on Sunday or Holy Days of Obligation.
Sanhedrin 59a says: “A gentile who engages in Torah study is liable to receive the death penalty”. So this would mean that us Christians couldn’t study our Bibles under Noahide Laws.
Objection: But These Noahide Laws Are Not Being Implemented, So Who Cares!?
Answer: Actually, they are slowly being implemented by Jews and their Zionist allies, many of whom call themselves “Christian”. And the Noahide Laws, although evil, aren’t the most insidious practice of the Jews, as I will show you in the next episode.
What Does The Catholic Church Teach About Jewish Ritual Murder?
Jewish Ritual Sacrifice Of Christian Children Is A Real Thing.
At least as far back as the Twelfth Century, it has been the case that Jews have murdered several children for what’s called the “Blood Passover” ritual. Before that, we still have evidence of Jews murdering Christian children or sacrificing their own. Of course, the Jews deny this, and call it “blood libel” but let me present the facts to you, so you can know the truth.
The Old Testament talks about Jews rejecting God and engaging in child sacrifice to the demons Moloch or Baal.
We see God condemn this behavior in Leviticus 18:21 and Leviticus 20:1-5 and Deuteronomy 12:31 and Deuteronomy 18:10 and 4 Kings ( or 2 Kings for the Moderns) 16:3 and 4 Kings (or 2 Kings for the Moderns) 17:16-17 and 4 Kings (or 2 Kings for the Moderns) 21:6 and Psalms 105 (or 106 for the Moderns):37-38 and Jeremias (or Jeremiah for the Moderns) 7:31 and Jeremias (or Jeremiah for the Moderns) 19:5 and Jeremias (or Jeremiah for the Moderns) 32:35 and Ezechiel 16:20-21 and Ezechiel 20:31. Why else would God condemn this behavior over and over and over again, unless the Jews were engaging in child sacrifice over and over and over again?
Also, in the early 5th Century, Christian Church historian Socrates Scholasticus writes of Jewish murder of a Christian boy, saying: “Soon afterwards [of the Jewish massacre of Christians at Alexandria that caused St. Cyril to expel them] the Jews renewed their malevolent and impious practices against the Christians, and drew down upon themselves deserved punishment. At a place named Inmestar, situated between Chalcis and Antioch in Syria, the Jews were amusing themselves in their usual way with a variety of sports. In this way they indulged in many absurdities, and at length impelled by drunkenness they were guilty of scoffing at Christians and even Christ himself; and in derision of the cross and those who put their trust in the Crucified One, they seized a Christian boy, and having bound him to a cross, began to laugh and sneer at him. But in a little while becoming so transported with fury, they scourged the child until he died under their hands. This conduct occasioned a sharp conflict between them and the Christians; and as soon as the emperors were informed of the circumstance, they issued orders to the governor of the province to find out and punish the delinquents. And thus the Jewish inhabitants of this place paid the penalty for the wickedness they had committed in their impious sport.”
In 1144 AD, on Holy Saturday, a 12 year old boy, St. William of Norwich was found brutally murdered.
He was last seen entering the house of a Jew before he died, so the locals of Norwich believed he was murdered by Jews.
His biographer, Benedictine monk Thomas of Monmouth wrote that:
“Having shaved his head, they stabbed it with countless thorn-points, and made the blood come horribly from the wounds they made. And cruel were they and so eager to inflict pain that it was difficult to say whether they were more cruel or more ingenious in their tortures. For their skill in torturing kept up the strength of their cruelty and ministered arms thereto. And thus, while these enemies of the Christian name were rioting in the spirit of malignity around the boy, some of those present adjudged him to be fixed to a cross in mockery of the Lord’s passion, as though they would say, ‘Even as we condemned the Christ to a shameful death, so let us also condemn the Christian, so that, uniting the Lord and his servant in a like punishment, we may retort upon themselves the pain of that reproach which they impute to us.’”
Moreover, a Jewish convert to Christianity told Thomas of Monmouth:
“that in the ancient writings of his fathers it was written that the Jews, without the shedding of human blood, could neither obtain their freedom, nor could they ever return to their fatherland… Hence it was laid down by them in ancient times that every year they must sacrifice a Christian in some part of the world to the Most High God in scorn and contempt of Christ, that so they might avenge their sufferings on Him; inasmuch as it was because of Christ’s death that they had been shut out from their own country, and were in exile as slaves in a foreign land.”
In 1168, young St. Harold of Gloucester was also martyred by Jews in a blood Passover, and the local Benedictine monks said he had marks that showed he was crucified and made to wear a crown of thorns.
Also, in 1181, St. Robert of Bury was martyred by Jews in a blood Passover, and the local Benedictine monks also described him as being crucified and scourged.
Furthermore, Jews martyred St. Dominguito del Val in a blood Passover, in 1250, and like the other martyrs, he was crucified to mock Our Lord, and tortured before being killed.
Additionally, Jews murdered Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln in a blood Passover, in 1255, and was similarly tortured, scourged, crowned with thorns and crucified. Geoffrey Chaucer even wrote a a stanza in a poem about this Jewish blood passover called “The Prioress’s Tale” in his famous work, The Canterbury Tales, saying: “O you young Hugh of Lincoln, slain also
By cursed Jews, as is well known to all,
Since it was but a little while ago,
Pray you for us, sinful and weak, who call,
That, of His mercy, God will still let fall
Something of grace, and mercy multiply,
For reverence of His Mother dear on high. Amen.”
Moreover, the Jews martyred St. Werner of Oberwesel in 1287, in a blood Passover.
Furthermore, the Jews murdered Blessed Anderl (Andreas) Oxner von Rinn in a blood Passover, in 1462. The Brother’s Grimm wrote about this blood passover, saying: “In the year 1462 in the village of Rinn in Tyrol a number of Jews convinced a poor farmer to surrender his small child to them in return for a large sum of money. They took the child out into the woods, where, on a large stone, they martyred it to death in the most unspeakable manner. From that time the stone has been called the Jews’ Stone. Afterward they hung the mutilated body on a birch tree not far from a bridge.
The child’s mother was working in a field when the murder took place. She suddenly thought of her child, and without knowing why, she was overcome with fear. Meanwhile, three drops of fresh blood fell onto her hand, one after the other. Filled with terror she rushed home and asked for her child. Her husband brought her inside and confessed what he had done. He was about to show her the money that would free them from poverty, but it had turned into leaves. Then the father became mad and died from sorrow, but the mother went out and sought her child. She found it hanging from the tree and, with hot tears, took it down and carried it to the church at Rinn. It is lying there to this day, and the people look on it as a holy child. They also brought the Jews’ Stone there.
According to legend a shepherd cut down the birch tree, from which the child had hung, but when he attempted to carry it home he broke his leg and died from the injury.”
Also, the Jews murdered St. Simon of Trent in 1475, in a blood Passover.
Israeli Jew, Dr. Ariel Toaff, even wrote a book called Passovers of Blood to prove that this particular Blood Passover happened, despite the condemnation from his brother Jews. Toaff theorised that some blood Passover cases may be based on actual instances of child murder where a Jewish perpetrator acted in retaliation for perceived persecutions against the Jewish community. After criticism, the book was withdrawn from circulation and redacted by its author.
Furthermore, the Holy Child of La Guardia blood Passover in 1491 led to the expulsion of Jews from Spain a year later and a crackdown from the Spanish Inquisition on the crypto-jews.
Objection: But Popes Innocent IV And Gregory X Said The Jews Didn’t Commit Blood Passovers!
Answer: It’s not that straightforward. Yes, these Popes were skeptical of the blood passover claims and did condemn Christians making false accusations against the Jews and made it clear that there must be fair trials with reputable witnesses and evidence before convicting the Jews. But they never taught as a precept that the Church rejects the possibility that Jews have and can commit blood Passovers.
Moreover, Pope Benedict XIV beatified both Blessed Andreas of Rinn and St. Simon of Trent in Beatus Andreas in 1755, which legitimizes these cases for Catholics. In this Papal bull, he writes: “The Blessed Andreas from the region of the village of Rinn in the Diocese of Brixen, was butchered in the cruellest fashion before the completion of the third year of [his] life in the year 1462 by Jews out of hatred toward the Christian Faith…. In the year 1485 (it must be correctly read as 1475) the Blessed boy Simon of Trent was most horribly murdered before the completion of his third year of life by Jews, out of hatred toward those who believe in Christ. This inhuman crime produced so many and such grave consequences, and the Jews availed themselves of so may and such practiced artifaces in order to escape [their] deserved punishment and to divert the righteous anger of the Christian faithful from themselves, that Sixtus IV could not fail to intervene in this affair himself, in that he forbade that the public veneration which had been shown to the Blessed Simon continue to be rendered to him, until it was completely clear that he was butchered by Jews out of hatred against the believers in Christ…. Then, however, all became clear. Under consultation of the evidence, the act of murder together with its motivation was proven, and it is also certain that the murderers were Jews, which emerges from the documents of the proceedings, which today are still preserved in the secret archives in Engelsburg….
From the Bollandists for the date 24 March, we are told — aside from what has been mentioned concerning the blessed boy Simon of Trent — that in the Diocese of Cologne, a boy Johannchen is venerated, who was killed by the Hebrews out of hatred against the (Christian) faith. Baillet reports for the same 24th of March, that in Paris a certain boy Richard is venerated as a martyr. And likewise, in England another boy with the name William is honored. This boy was murdered by the Jews out of hatred against the (Christian) faith. In the 18th volume of the work of Father Theophil Raynoud…one reads that in the time of King Ferdinand in Spain a three-year-old boy was killed by Jews out of hatred against Christ in the district of Guardia near Toledo, that veneration is shown him and that he is called the innocent child of Guardia for obvious reasons. And the same is attested of two other two-year-old twin boys in Sardinia, who bore the names Cessilius and Camerinus. And further, in the aforementioned apologetic treatise concerning the martyrdom of the Blessed Simon of Trent, there is mentioned…a little three-year-old girl by the name of Ursula who was murdered in the cruellest manner by Jews out of hatred of Christ, approximately in the year 1442 in Lienz, a small but old town in the County of Tyrol, located in the Pustertal toward Kärnten. In the year 1609 an older monument at the church of this place was replaced by a new one. This (newer one) was chiselled after the older one and one can read, inscribed on the same, the story of that horrible atrocity. And [the same book] mentioned a boy Laurentius, whom the Jews killed in 1485 when he was 5 years of age, out of hatred toward the faith, and this boy has been regarded and venerated as a martyr since his martyrdom and up to the present day in Marostica in the region of Vicenza and in areas not far from there.
…with respect to a child who has been killed in Holy Week by Jews out of contempt toward Christ. The murders of the Blessed Simon and Blessed Andreas in particular are such (cases), but so too are (the murders) of many which are listed by the authors. It might perhaps appear to someone that it is proper, whenever there is admittance to the Causa of children killed in this manner, that these murders, which are well-known to the people, have been condemned by all and also punished by the authorities, must be loudly proclaimed in the world).”
And if you think all these blood passovers are a thing in the past, think again. Numerous reports of blood passovers have continued throughout the centuries, even up until the present. Unfortunately, we now have an organization known as the Anti-Defamation League, or ADL, which was created by the B’Nai Brith a Judeo-Freemasonic organization, in order to cover up Jews murdering children after Jew Leo Frank was convicted of killing a 13 year old Christian girl, Mary Phagan, in 1913.
Objection: But Things Are Different Now, The Jews Are Our Allies Now, So None of This Applies!
Answer: This objection definitely hints of the heresy of Modernism. But to defeat this objection, let us look at our situation in the past 2 centuries or so, in the next episodes and see if your objection could be substantiated. Spoiler alert: Your objection won’t be substantiated.
What Did The Church In The 19th Through Mid-20 Centuries Teach About The Jews?
The saintly men of the 19th to mid-20th Centuries are COMPLETELY consistent with the Saints of the past on Catholic orthodoxy regarding the Jews.
The following are some examples of what these men say.
After Napoleon released the Jews from the Roman Ghetto after the French took control over the Papal States in 1798, Pope Pius VII reinstituted the confinement of Jews to the Ghetto in 1814 when Papal authority was restored.
The next Pope, Leo XII, forbade Jews to own property, in addition to keeping them in the ghettos.
Each Pope of the 19th Century enforced the Jews living in the ghettos (Pope Blessed Pius IX temporarily opened it before re-instituting it) until the Italians took over the Papal States during the Pontificate of Pope Blessed Pius IX in 1870.
The reason for the Jews living in the ghettos, again, was to keep Jews from persecuting Christians and from subverting Christian society.
In a speech in 1871 – after losing temporal authority over Rome – Pope Blessed Pius IX said of certain anticlerical activists among the Jews of Rome: “Of these dogs, there are too many of them at present in Rome, and we hear them howling in the streets, and they are disturbing us in all places.”
Moreover, Pope Blessed Pius IX blessed a book, The Jew, Judaism and the Judaization of the Christian Peoples, written by Roger Gougenot des Mousseaux in 1869, which shows how the Jews were conspiring with the Freemasons to take over the world.
Pope Blessed Pius IX also removed a boy from his Jewish parents, since a Christian maid baptized him in an emergency, and raised the boy as his adopted Christian son, in order to make sure the boy didn’t return to the vomit of Judaism. Thankfully, the boy, Father Pio Edgardo Mortara, died as a devout Catholic priest, who ardently tried to convert his whole Jewish family, and was a witness to Pope Pius IX’s beatification.
In 1890, La Civiltà Cattolica, a Jesuit publication directly under Papal influence (in this case, Pope Leo XIII), published a series of articles called “On the Jewish Question in Europe”, which goes into scholarly detail on how the Jews are the enemies of Catholics, and how they were conspiring to take over Catholic Europe in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. This publication also made it clear that the Jews are enemies of the Church because as both a religion and a nation they reject Jesus Christ and are hostile to Christians and clarified that the Church’s stance is indifferent to their biological race.
In 1892, Father Justinas Pranaitis wrote The Talmud Unmasked, which exposed the anti-Christ passages in the Talmud to a modern audience, and the book was given both an Imprimatur and Nihil Obstat by the Church, further legitimizing it.
In 1899, Pope Leo XIII wrote the Act of Consecration of the Human Race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus prayer, which included the words: “Look, finally, with eyes of pity upon the children of that race, which was for so long a time Thy chosen people; and let Thy Blood, which was once invoked upon them in vengeance, now descend upon them also in a cleansing flood of redemption and eternal life.”
In 1904, Pope St. Pius X, in rejecting Zionist Jew Theodore Herzl’s request to have his Zionist movement blessed, said this to Herzl:
“We cannot give approval to this movement. We cannot prevent the Jews from going to Jerusalem—but we could never sanction it. The soil of Jerusalem, if it was not always sacred, has been sanctified by the life of Jesus Christ. As the head of the Church I cannot tell you anything different. The Jews have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people.”
In other words, Pope St. Pius X made it clear that Catholics cannot be Zionist, in conformity with the Catholic Doctrine of the Witness people.
In The New Jerusalem, written in 1920, G. K. Chesterton writes: “There is an attitude for which my friends and I were for a long period rebuked and even reviled; and of which at the present period we are less likely than ever to repent. It was always called Anti-Semitism…. It consisted entirely in saying that Jews are Jews; and as a logical consequence that they are not Russians or Roumanians or Italians or Frenchmen or Englishmen. During the war the newspapers commonly referred to them as Russians; but the ritual wore so singularly thin that I remember one newspaper paragraph saying that the Russians in the East End complained of the food regulations, because their religion forbade them to eat pork. My own brief contact with the Greek priests of the Orthodox Church in Jerusalem did not permit me to discover any trace of this detail of their discipline; and even the Russian pilgrims were said to be equally negligent in the matter. The point for the moment, however, is that if I was violently opposed to anything, it was not to Jews, but to that sort of remark about Jews; or rather to the silly and craven fear of making it a remark about Jews.”
In his book, The Jews, written in 1920, Hilaire Belloc writes: “There is already something like a Jewish monopoly in high finance. There is a growing tendency to Jewish monopoly over the stage for instance, the fruit trade in London, and to a great extent the tobacco trade. There is the same element of Jewish monopoly in the silver trade, and in the control of various other metals, notably lead, nickel, quicksilver. What is most disquieting of all, this tendency to monopoly is spreading like a disease.”
In 1921, a Vatican spokesman for Pope Benedict XV told the representatives of the Zionist Movement that the Church did not wish to assist “the Jewish race, which is permeated with a revolutionary and rebellious spirit” to gain control of the Holy Land.
At the time of the International Congress of Freemasonry in Bucharest in 1926, St. Maximilian Kolbe wrote the article The Knight of the Immaculate, saying: ”These men [the Freemasons] believe that they are the ones who will rule everything, but let us hear what is written in the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. Protocol n. 11 states: ‘We will create and put in effect the laws and the governments … in opportune moments … by means of national rebellions. … What we want is that the multitudes, disoriented by the revolt, still in a condition of terror and uncertainty, should understand once and for all that we are so strong, so untouchable, so powerful that in no way will we take into account their opinions and wishes. Instead we are ready and able to crush with irresistible power their manifestations at any moment and in every place. … Then, in fear and trembling, they will close their eyes to everything and await the consequences. … For what purpose have we created this policy and insinuated it into the minds of the Masons, without giving them any possibility of examining its underlying meaning? … This is what has served as the basis for our secret organization of Masonry, whose existence is not known or even suspected by these cattle, attracted by us into the army of Masonic lodges.’
Freemasons, did you hear this? The Hebrews, who have secretly organized and secretly direct you, consider you as beasts, recruited into the Masonic lodges for ends that you neither know nor suspect … Are you aware, Freemasons, of what awaits those among you who will begin to think for themselves? Listen to this in the same Protocol: ‘Death is the inevitable conclusion of every life … We will execute the Masons in a way that no one can suspect, not even the victims themselves: They will all die at the moment it is deemed necessary, apparently because of common illnesses.’ Freemasons, you who recently during the Bucharest Congress were pleased by the fact that Masonry is growing stronger everywhere, reflect well and answer sincerely: Is it not better to serve the Creator with interior peace … rather than to obey the orders of those who hate you?
And you, small squadron of Hebrews, the ‘learned elders of Zion,’ who have already consciously provoked so many misfortunes and are preparing yet others, to you I direct this question: What advantage will you gain? … A huge accumulation of gold, pleasures, diversions and power, but none of this makes man happy. And if still it should give some happiness, how long will it last? Ten years perhaps, or twenty … I ask you, Hebrew leaders, you who have let yourselves be seduced by Satan, the enemy of humanity, would it not be better for you also to return sincerely to God?”
In a 1938 radio broadcast, Fr. Charles Coughlin, the famous “radio priest”, said: ““There is no Jewish question in America. Please God, may there never be one. However, there is a question of Communism in America. Please God, we will solve it. If Jews persist in supporting Communism, directly or indirectly, that will be regrettable. By their failure to use the press, the radio and the banking house, where they stand so prominently, to fight Communism as vigorously as they fight Nazism, the Jews invite the charges of being supporters of Communism. As Christ said, ‘You are either with me or against me.’”
These comments, along with his public appeals for the US to stay neutral in World War 2, led to him being “canceled” from the radio the following year.
In 1938, Fr. Denis Fahey wrote in The Rulers of Russia: “The real forces behind Bolshevism in Russia are Jewish forces, and Bolshevism is really an instrument in the hands of the Jews for the establishment of their future Messianic kingdom.”
Pope Pius XI was drafting an encyclical titled Humani generis unitas, but died before it was published. In this encyclical his aim was to differentiate between antisemitism, which is the racial hatred of Jews that the Church condemns, as opposed to the anti-Judaic stance that the Church professes. The draft says: “Essentially, the so-called Jewish question … is a question of religion and, since the coming of Christ, a question of Christianity.” The encyclical blames the Jews of the time of Christ for having brought their own Messiah Jesus Christ to death: “The very act by which the Jewish people put to death their Savior and King was, in the strong language of Saint Paul, the salvation of the world.” The draft continues by accusing Jews of blind materialism.
“Blinded by a vision of material domination and gain, the Israelites lost what they themselves had sought. A few chosen souls, among whom were the disciples and followers of Our Lord, the early Jewish Christians, and, through the centuries, a few members of the Jewish people, were an exception to this general rule. By their acceptance of Christ’s teaching and their incorporation into His Church, they shared in the inheritance of His glory, but they remained and still remain an exception. “What Israel was seeking after, that it has not obtained; but the chosen have obtained it, and the rest have been blinded” (Romans 11:7).”
“By a mysterious Providence of God, this unhappy people, destroyers of their own nation, whose misguided leaders had called down upon their own heads a Divine malediction, doomed, as it were, to perpetually wander over the face of the earth, were nonetheless never allowed to perish, but have been preserved through the ages into our own time. No natural reason appears to be forthcoming to explain this age-long persistence, this indestructible coherence of the Jewish people.”
In 1953, in his book, The Kingship of Christ and The Conversion of the Jewish Nation, Fr. Denis Fahey writes: “All Jews, however, in proportion as they are one with the leaders and rulers of their race, will oppose the influence of the supernatural Life of Grace in society and will be an active ferment of Naturalism.”
Up until 1955, the Good Friday Mass referred to the Jews as “perfidious” and forbade Catholics from kneeling when praying for them, as Catholics did for heretics, schismatics, Muslims, pagans, and others.
St. Padre Pio said this about the Jews: “”The Jews are enemies of God and foes of our holy religion.”
In 1962, Church clergy, writing under the pseudonym Maurice Pinay, released a book called The Plot Against the Church, which details the Jewish plot to infiltrate and destroy the Church within by creating and promoting Communism and Freemasonry within the clergy by sending in crypto-Jews and sympathizers into the priesthood.
Thus, it seems that even to the mid-20th century, many traditional-minded Catholic men still held onto the tradition of the Jews being the enemies of God and the human race.
Objection: But Vatican II Changed The Teaching On The Jews!
Answer: No, actually, it did not.
The Vatican II document regarding the Jews (and other religions) is called Nostra Aetate.
The following are the 3 passages people use to claim the Church changed its teaching on the Jews, and my rebuttals on why these passages don’t change anything:
“still, what happened in His passion cannot be charged against all the Jews, without distinction, then alive, nor against the Jews of today.”
Rebuttal: We don’t charge “all Jews” with His passion. We charge only the Jews that reject Him, which we made clear at the beginning of this presentation.
“Although the Church is the new people of God, the Jews should not be presented as rejected or accursed by God, as if this followed from the Holy Scriptures.”
Rebuttal: God didn’t reject or curse the Jews, actually. It was the other way around! The Jews rejected God and cursed themselves! Which we also clarified near the beginning of this presentation.
“Furthermore, in her rejection of every persecution against any man, the Church, mindful of the patrimony she shares with the Jews and moved not by political reasons but by the Gospel’s spiritual love, decries hatred, persecutions, displays of anti-Semitism, directed against Jews at any time and by anyone.”
Rebuttal: What the Church has to mean by “anti-Semitism” is hatred of the Jews. Of course that’s condemned!
Objection: But Criticizing The Jews Is A Sin And Antisemitic!
Answer: That’s impossible.
Of course, Jewish hate monger groups like the ADL would have you believe so, but Catholics cannot maintain this. Let me explain:
– Christ criticized the Jews (in Matthew 23, John 8:44, Apocalypse 2:9/3:9, etc.)
– Christ was without sin (in 1 Peter 2:22, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 4:15, etc.)
– Antisemitism (as defined by the pre-Vatican II Popes as being “the hatred of Jews because of their race”) is a sin
– Therefore, criticizing the Jews is not a sin and is not antisemitic
Objection: But How Is Any Of This Relevant To The Present?
Answer: The culture wars between the Catholics and Jews have never stopped.
Unfortunately, since the dawn of the 20th century (possibly even before that) the Jews have been winning the culture wars.
And because the freemasons and other enemies entered the Church, we have stopped fighting the Jews because we don’t even know they are our enemies!
What does this mean?
The Jews have almost single-handedly nearly destroyed Christian civilization.
I will go over this in the next episode.
What Have The Jews Done In Modern Times To Harm Christian Society?
Karl Marx is the founder of modern communism. Did you know that Marx was a Jew? He sure was! His father, originally named Herschel Levi, is the very definition of crypto-jew, meaning Marx’s father, a secular Jew, converted to Lutheranism and changed his name, just so he could have a position of power and influence in Prussia, and to get more shekels from the goyim for his law practice! No wonder Karl hated both Christians and Jews so much!
Everyone knows that the Bolsheviks won the Russian Revolution and converted Russia into Communism. Did you know that the Bolshevik leaders were overwhelmingly Jewish? Both Lenin and Stalin had Jewish ancestry. Moreover, the Mensheviks and Bundists, who were also Russian Communist revolutionary parties, were also led by the Jews. And after the victory of the Jewish Communists in Russia, 447 of the 554 first rank Communist leaders were Jewish. That’s over 80%! Essentially, this means the Russians were ruled by a Jewish minority.
During the German Revolution in 1918, after the end of World War I, the German Empire was overthrown by Jewish Communist Revolutionaries. Although the non-Jewish and non-communist Weimar Republic eventually won the revolution, Weimar Germany would be very Jew-friendly and progressive until the rise of the Nazis in the 1930s.
Likewise, in the fall of the Austria-Hungary empire at the end of World War I, the Communist party, which was over 90% Jewish and led by Jew, Bela Kuhn, won the revolution and established a Communist state in Hungary in 1919.
Also, virtually all the financial backers for these revolutions were rich Jews that lived in Western countries.
And yes, even the non-chinese inner circle of Mao was Jewish. His Jewish Communist advisors played a key role in helping his Communist revolution succeed.
Read The Plot Against The Church by Maurice Pinay to learn more about the Jew-led Communist revolutions of the 20th century.
Jew Sigmund Freud, creating the abomination called “psychoanalysis” infamously suggested that all boys unconsciously want to have sex with their mothers and that repressed childhood sexuality is the root of adult neurosis. His psychosexual ideas have greatly influenced Western sexuality views, against the Christian understanding, since. His Jewish nephew, Edward Bernays took his uncle’s idea of people being controlled by their unconscious desires, and used it to create a new form of propaganda where people can have their behavior controlled by appealing to their unconscious desires, which he called “public relations”.
The Frankfurt School is a Jewish intellectual movement that focuses on applying the ideas of Jews Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx, with some German Idealist influence, towards social theory. Now, much of the underlying philosophy and thought that the modern New Left progressives adhere to comes from this school of thought. Their Critical Theory has been applied to race, sex, class, economics, and the arts. What is Critical Theory? Well, the gist is that it is used to criticize existing social institutions and to label some groups as being “oppressed” inside of these social institutions, and then radically alter or overthrow these social institutions, so that all groups become equal. It’s the foundation of the modern diversity, equity and inclusion mentality the New Left has. But let’s face it, nothing ever turns out “equal” and “inclusive” in the end because of human nature. So the result of this false ideology being pushed is the endless race wars, endless conflict between sexes, endless class warfare, and other ongoing social revolutions.
And the Jews started pushing out all these ideas in Germany after the first World War. And after the Nazis kicked the Frankfurt School jews out of Germany, they all came to the United States. And these Jews have since transformed our educational system into a New Left propaganda machine.
See? Look. Most of the elite higher education institutions are run by Jews. And if you still aren’t sure that universities push this revolutionary Jewish philosophy, ask anyone that’s been to college in the past couple of decades if they have had critical theory pushed down their throats. I sure know my university shoved it down my throat!
Speaking of critical theory, in addition to that, race wars wouldn’t be a thing without the art of community organizing (aka creating riots) which was pioneered by Jew Saul Alinsky, who dedicated his book Rules for Radicals to Lucifer.
And speaking of race wars, one of the leaders of Black Lives Matter is Jewish, which is interesting, since the Atlantic slave trade was dominated by Jewish slave traders until slavery was made illegal by Christians.
And regarding leaders of anti-Christian movements, did you know that the Church of Satan was founded by a Jew and of the two Satanic Temple founders, at least one (possibly both) is Jewish? They always fail to mention that, don’t they?
Moving on, most people also don’t know that the weapon of potential human extinction, the nuclear bomb, was created by Jews.
Next, let’s look at how the Jews have changed the views of sexuality in Western Civilization. I want to start by mentioning 2 jews this infopic doesn’t show. First, is Jew Wilhelm Reich, a follower of Freud and the fathers of the Sexual Revolution. The other Jew is Dr. Ruth Westheimer, who popularized secular sex education, which basically means she popularized sexual perversions, here in the United States. Back to this infopic, Magnus Hirschfeld is the father of the transgender movement. He opened the first transsexual clinic in Germany, in 1919, until the Nazis burned it down, in 1933, along with all of his books on sexual deviancy and perversions. And he fled Germany. All the rest of these Jews greatly changed the academic, political, and social spheres regarding public opinion of the sodomites.
What about hook up apps? Yeah, they are Jewish too….
The whole porn industry was basically created and currently operated by the Jews. In 1957, Jew Samuel Roth appealed his obscenity conviction to the US Supreme Court. His conviction was upheld. However, the court’s decision implemented an ambiguous definition of obscenity that basically allowed anything obscene to make it past obscenity laws, as long as one has a good lawyer. Thus, the Jews and their lawyers basically used this to make porn legal. In 1972, Jew Marvin Miller won the Supreme Court case of Miller vs California, which made the definition of obscenity even more ambiguous, which allowed even more egregious pornography. While these Supreme Court decisions were changing obscenity laws, Jewish pornographers, like Reuben Sturman and Al Goldstein were creating underground porn empires.
In his 2004 book XXX-Communicated: A Rebel Without a Shul, Luke Ford wrote about a conversation with Goldstein, in which Ford asked Goldstein why Jews were dramatically overrepresented in the porn industry. He answered, “The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks. We don’t believe in authoritarianism. Pornography thus becomes a way of defiling Christian culture and, as it penetrates to the very heart of the American mainstream (and is no doubt consumed by those very same WASPs), its subversive character becomes more charged.”
There is a book called “Merchants of Sin” that shows the history of how Jews have overturned obscenity laws, and created the sexualized counterculture in the US, which has been normalized today. I highly recommend reading it.
Second wave feminism is Jewish. If you look at the list of the leaders of Second Wave Feminism, it’s like looking at the invite list to a Bat Mitzvah. The feminist leaders are virtually all jewesses. What can I say other than these are the women that convinced Western women that it’s better to work a $15 an hour wage slave job for some corporate CEO that hates them, rather than to spend all day taking care of their children and husbands, who love them. They basically brainwashed Western women to believe that the best way to be a woman is to try to be a man. If that’s not evil, I don’t know what is.
Also, people know about the Italian Mafia, but do you ever hear about the Kosher Nostra? Yeah, Jewish organized crime was a big player in the National Crime Syndicate and Murder, Inc., with Jews Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel as leaders. Jewish organized crime is still a major part of American organized crime today. But you never hear about it. Hollywood seems to focus on Italian organized crime instead. Why is that, you think? It’s Hollywood….
What about Hollywood? Well, my friends, yes, Hollywood is also Jewish. It was founded by Jews, and Jews still virtually run all the production studios in Hollywood to this very day. Most of the producers are Jewish, and many directors are Jewish. One of the big studios not on this list is Disney. No, Walt Disney was not a Jew. But guess what? Currently, the Disney CEO is Jew Bob Iger. Have you been wondering why so much anti-Christian and sodomitical stuff has been coming out of Disney lately? Well, now you know. Hollywood is not Christian. It’s Jewish. And Jews hate Christian values.
If you still don’t believe me, listen to what Jew Joel Stein wrote in his 2008 OpEd called “Who runs Hollywood? C’mon”:
“I have never been so upset by a poll in my life. Only 22% of Americans now believe “the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews,” down from nearly 50% in 1964. The Anti-Defamation League, which released the poll results last month, sees in these numbers a victory against stereotyping. Actually, it just shows how dumb America has gotten. Jews totally run Hollywood.
As a proud Jew, I want America to know about our accomplishment. Yes, we control Hollywood. Without us, you’d be flipping between “The 700 Club” and “Davey and Goliath” on TV all day.”
What about the comic industry? You guessed it! It’s Jewish! Going back to what we were saying about obscenity laws, the Jews initially tried to brazenly push anti-Christian taboos through Hollywood film and comics before getting pushed back hard by the government. Still, just like Hollywood slowly pushed the envelope over time, comics have slowly pushed the envelope as well. The difference being comics are designed to influence the minds of young boys. Comics have been the Jewish medium to subtly push unholy ideas into the minds of boys since their creation. Now that they are recently on the big screen, we can now see more clearly how these comic book movies brazenly push the jewish ideals of diversity, inclusion, equity, sexual immorality, violence, and moral ambiguity on their consumers.
Have you ever wondered why there are so many secular Christmas songs that don’t have anything to do with Jesus, but instead seem to be more focused on consumerism? That’s right! You guessed it! Jews wrote all of those songs! I can’t think of a better way to subvert the Holy Day of Christmas more than to write catchy jingles that completely remove Christ from His own birthday celebration!
Speaking of popular music, Jews were instrumental in the popularization of rock n’ roll, rhythm and blues, and hip hop, which we know has been used to push degeneracy onto our youth. According to Israeli Jewish historian Ari Katorza, although only two percent of the total US population was Jewish in the 1950s, their representation in the music industry was much higher, and by this time they owned or managed about “forty percent of the independent record companies recording and distributing rock ‘n’ roll and rhythm and blues music in the United States.”
In the decade from 1944 to 1955, many of the most influential record companies specializing in “race” music (or rhythm and blues, as it later came to be known) were owned or co-owned by Jews. Running an independent record label in the rhythm and blues and early rock ‘n’ roll era was practically a Jewish business niche. And since rock and R&B revolutionized popular music, these labels became bigger, richer, and more influential. Thus, now the Jews are able to more directly push degenerate forms of music onto the populace.
Moving away from their influence on sexuality and entertainment and into finance, it should be no surprise that the Jews, who have been the nation of bankers since the middle ages, are still the bankers of today. They run the US Federal Reserve.
The vast majority of Hedge Fund managers are Jewish too.
Jewish banking houses were instrumental to the process of capital formation in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th century. Modern banking in Europe and the United States was influenced by Jewish financiers, such as the Rothschild and Warburg families, and Jews were major contributors to the establishment of important investment banks on Wall Street.
In the middle of the 19th century, a number of German Jews founded investment banking firms which later became mainstays of the industry. Most prominent Jewish banks in the United States were investment banks, rather than commercial banks. Jonathan Knee postulates that Jews were forced to focus on the development of investment banks because they were excluded from the commercial banking sector. In many cases, the efforts of Jewish immigrants to start banks was enabled due to the substantial support of their Jewish banking connections in Europe.
Several major banks were started following the mid-19th century by Jews, including Goldman Sachs (founded by Samuel Sachs and Marcus Goldman), Kuhn Loeb (Solomon Loeb and Jacob H. Schiff), Lehman Brothers (Henry Lehman), Salomon Brothers, and Bache & Co.(founded by Jules Bache).
The firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. played a prominent role in the area of railway finance.
What about politics? Well, surprise, surprise! Most of the top donors in the most recent presidential election were Jewish. And they donated to both parties.
So let’s talk about the Democrats first. They obviously are the main pushers of Jewish anti-Christian social degeneracy. Is it surprising that Catholic-in-name-only Biden has a family that is essentially Jewish now?
What about his staff? You guessed it! It’s mostly Jews.
What about the Republicans and Donald Trump? Everyone knows his daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren are Jews. And while he didn’t have as many Jews in his cabinet as Biden does, they are still there, and very prominent. Moreover, Donald Trump is undoubtedly pro-Israel, and the Republican Party, in general, is heavily pro-Zionist.
But is Israel really our greatest ally?
Well, former Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, said: “Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that … I want to tell you something very clear: Don’t worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it.”
How about the current Prime Minister of Israel?
In 1990, Netanyahu, while working as a spy, was recorded as saying: “America is a Golden Calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up, and sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the World’s biggest welfare state that we will create and control. Why? Because it’s god’s will and America is big enough to take the hit so we can do it again, again and again. This is what we do to countries that we hate. We destroy them very slowly and make them suffer for refusing to be our slaves.”
Moreover, on June 8, 1967, Israel open-fired on the USS Liberty which was in International Waters, killing 34 Americans and wounding over 170 others. This didn’t lead to war. No, it was quickly dropped.
Also, Israeli Mossad agents were seen dancing and celebrating to the September 11, 2001 attacks, and taken to jail, but were released and allowed to go back to Israel. They openly stated on Israeli television that their purpose in New York was to be there to “document the event”.
Speaking of the 911 attacks, the World Trade Center was purchased by Jew Larry Silverstein over a month before the attacks. Larry and his children were all cohencidentally absent from the World Trade Center that day. Moving back to the false state of Israel….
And in case you don’t know, in the current war between Israel and Gaza, for reasons that are never explained, Christian civilians are targets of the Israelis.
Of course, our politicians do nothing to Israel, since apparently it’s our greatest ally. Probably because the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, is one of the top 5 political action committees that funds both parties in the United States. You don’t bite the hand that feeds you, so politicians will stand with Israel if they want that money.
Well, what about the libertarian faction of the Republicans? As it turns out, libertarianism is Jewish too, just like Zionism. And neoconservatism? That was created by Jew Irving Kristol. So you can probably now see why the Republican Party favors a hands-off policy regarding domestic Jewish money, while favoring foreign help, mostly for our “greatest ally” Israel. It’s all because this mostly benefits rich Jews and their homeland.
Jews are pushing for marijuana because it’s part of their religious and secular culture. The Jews believe that the Old Testament Hebrews were partakers of weed and that they should be partakers of weed these days. In the United States, the Jewish population is over-represented among the recreational cannabis using population. And no, in case you haven’t figured it out yet, they don’t really care that they are pushing their anti-Christian values into what was once a Christian society.
At this point, it hopefully doesn’t surprise you that Jews are instrumental in the whole vaccination business.
And of course, the Covid-19 vaccines are no exception. The creation, manufacturing, distribution, promotion, and recommendation of these vaccines was largely a Jewish effort, which they do not even deny.
What the Jews do refuse to admit is that the Covid virus is, for some reason, coincidentally less attracted to Ashkenazi Jew biology. And they will call you a conspiracy theorist if you say that it’s anything more than a coincidence!
And of course, in case you weren’t already aware, the Jews overwhelmingly control the Mainstream Media. Fox News Corp is a well-known exception to this rule, but Rupert Murdoch is a well-known Zionist and defender of the Jews. Much of Social Media is owned by Jews too. For instance, Facebook is owned by Jew Mark Zuckerberg and run by other Jews.
Look at this infopic. Do you see how much red is here? This is a list of the leaders of various Mainstream media, Hollywood studios, television stations, social media companies, and overall socially influential corporations in general. The red means that the person in the position of power in the company is a Jew. There is so much red here. Can we even go so far to say this country is Jewish at this point? It sure seems to be…
Abortion. I know everyone here is against baby murder. Guess who isn’t? The Jews. Baby murder is okay in their religion. Dare I say, it’s part of their religion. They see birth control and population control as a good thing, and baby murder makes population control happen.They see the reversal of Roe vs Wade as an attack on their religion, since they argue that life begins at birth and not conception. So, again, they are our enemy on this very important issue.
And we all know that with this sodomitical culture in our society, pedophilia is something they have been waiting to put on the table to get legalized. And by “they” I mean the Jews. A study found that Orthodox Jews are 4 times more likely to be sexually abused compared to the rest of the population. And in spite of the mainstream media lies, Catholic priests are much less likely to commit sexual abuse than the rest of the population. Moreover, Israel is a safe-haven for Jewish pedophiles, since they allow Jews that break the law here to come home to Israel, no questions asked. And they are in the process of legalizing pedophilia over there too. But at this point, we need to ask the question: How far does this go until we do something about this? How can we allow them to hurt our children while standing by and doing nothing?
Objection: But Why Do I Even Need To Know This?
Answer: Because we are soldiers – the Church Militant – and the Jews are our primary temporal enemies.
Our goal should be to win the culture war and to implement the Social Kingship of Christ.
As the ancient Chinese and master military strategist, Sun Tzu once said:
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
Objection: But What Am I Supposed To Do With All This?
Answer: You are supposed to fight back and win the culture wars, for God and our children!
The Jews make up only around 2% of the United States, and yet they de-Christianized the whole country!
Catholics make up almost a quarter of the country, even though those who are Faithful are much less!
Still, if we participate in Catholic Action, and zealously oppose the Jewish influence, under God, we will win!
What Are The Possible Solutions?
We could kick the Jews out of our country, if only we had the power and resources, which we don’t. Even though they are only 2% of the country, they have the power. This is reality.
We can, and should, try to convert as many Jews as possible to Christianity. St. Vincent Ferrer was largely successful in this, and hopefully someone among us will imitate his ability to convert masses of Jews!
The third option, and this is the one I am recommending for us, is to be the change we want to see. We are a minority as well, and like the Jews we can be a minority that makes a difference, if we only have the drive to do so. We also have the benefit of having God at our side. What I am proposing is that we all work together to build the Social Kingship of Christ by taking Catholic Action, creating local groups to affect change at first, and then, God willing, larger groups can be created by merging these local groups to affect change on a state and even national level. It will be hard, and take a lot of work. But it’s really the only way forward. I fear that if we don’t take Catholic Action, then a new age of martyrdom will begin, and when that happens, the only thing to satisfy the Heavenly Father’s desire for justice will be the spilling of the blood of many Christian martyrs. Either way, God and His people will win in the end.
