Have Catholic apologists stopped giving attribution for the quotations they use?

While maybe you would hope we'd assume those paragraphs were written by God, they were actually from the pen of (someone no doubt without an axe to grind) Eugene J. Fisher, Associate Director, Secretariat for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, National Conference of Catholic Bishops, USA.

And once again everyone is out of step but Rome. The Jews lie. Cornwell lies. Kertzer lies. Goldhagen lies. The six million dead Jews lie.

What could Pacelli do? His hands were tied. Nearly a billion followers listening for guidance, but his lips were sealed because, as we've been told by RCs on this forum, "It would have been WORSE for the Jews if the pope had spoken up!"

You have to wonder how many dead Jews believe that lie.

Reviews by Catholics are to be considered not worthy, but recommendations by those with an axe to grind against the Catholic church are? How convenient. By the way, the quote, while written by a Catholic, was taken off a website for Calvin College. Apparently they thought it was worthy enough to warrant consideration.

In any case, here is one by a non-Catholic I had ready since I anticipated you'd be casting aspersions: Blood Libel. Scroll down to page 28. Here is the first paragraph:

    I his book The Popes Against the Jews, David Kertzer devotes three chapters to the horrific allegation that Jews engaged in the ritual murder of Christian children during the Passover holiday. Jews were accused of using the children's blood in the unleavened bread eaten at the Passover meal. Yet he makes little mention of the relevant and indisputable historical fact that a succession of popes since the twelfth century (when the accusation of ritual murder was first made) condemned this libel.
See the link for more. The book you've recommended is a real jewel. Axe, meet grindstone.

860,000 SURVIVING JEWS know the truth, but you want to deny they even exist.

The thing that has has me curious in everything I have read on the subject - giving the Vatican the benefit of the doubt - why would the Catholic Church be intimidated at all by Hitler, the Nazis, indeed any thing in this mortal life?

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. - I John 4:4

To God be the glory!
