[OLD REGGIE]

Why is that, in your opinion? Is it because the Catholic Church believes and teaches that she is Israel? And that she has replaced Israel in God's eyes?

I'm trying to understand. Thanks

It has nothing to do with my opinion and everything to do with the repetitively false claim by Natural Law that the root of anti-semitism began with Luther and Calvin.

I simply provided proof that anti-semitism was practiced by the RCC many years before the birth of Luther or Calvin.

You’re right, of course. I was just interested in your opinion on the “why” of it all. Thanks for your reply! Maranatha

"It has nothing to do with my opinion and everything to do with the repetitively false claim by Natural Law that the root of anti-semitism began with Luther and Calvin."

Ah, Reggie, there you go again. I didn't say the root of antisemitism began with Luther and Calvin, I said the root of German antisemitism began with them. And I still assert it. Facts are stubborn things and you cannot blame the Catholic Church for the deeper and broader levels of Nazi antisemitism within the German Protestants than Catholics. The root for that most assuredly lies in their Protestantism.
