"The fact is this anti-semitism originated in the Catholic Church."

Reggie, show some self respect. You assert that anti-semitism originated in the Catholic Church and then the first sentence of your supporting argument claim that it began in the 3rd century BC. That would be laughable if it weren't so pathetic.

You attempt to offer further proof by citing an unknown author (Jonathan Moroschan) who graduated from an unknown school (Oakland University) who writes for an unknown website (suite101). It looks like you just did a google search and cut and pasted the first hit that said what you wanted it to say (did you graduate from Oakland University too?)

You still haven't explained why Protestant Germans were disproportionately antisemetic other than to feebly attempt to blame in on Bush the Catholic Church.

Known authors (even to you?):

Arguments Against Judaism.

Chrysostom further argues at length in his writings that Judaism has been overcome and displaced by Christianity. He attempts to prove this by showing that the Jewish religion can not exist without a temple and sacrifice and a religious center in Jerusalem, and that none of the later religious institutions can fill the place of the ancient ones. Chrysostom derides the Patriarchs, who, he declares, were no priests, but gave themselves the appearance of such, and merely played their parts like actors. He adds: "The holy Ark, which the Jews now have in their synagogues, appears to be no better than any wooden box offered for sale in the market" (ib. vi. 7; ed. Migne, i. 614).

But he is not satisfied with the derision of all things sacred to the Jews. He tries to convince his hearers that it is the duty of all Christians to hate the Jews (ib. vi. 7; ed. Migne, i. 854), and declaresit a sin for Christians to treat them with respect. In spite of his hatred of the Jews and Judaism, Chrysostom—as, indeed, the whole Antiochian school in their Bible exegesis—shows a dependence upon the Haggadah, which at the time predominated among the Palestinian Jews. A few parallels with the Haggadists have been given by Weiss, but they could be easily increased; and even in instances not directly taken from the Haggadah, its influence can be noticed in the writings of Chrysostom.

CHRYSOSTOM - DUTY OF CHRISTIANS TO HATE JEWS

****************************************************************************

That is, the Church admits and avows the Jewish people to be cursed, because after killing Christ they continue to till the ground of an earthly circumcision , an earthly Sabbath , an earthly passover, while the hidden strength or virtue of making known Christ, which this tilling contains, is not yielded to the Jews while they continue in impiety and unbelief, for it is revealed in the New Testament . While they will not turn to God , the veil which is on their minds in reading the Old Testament is not taken away.

AUGUSTINE ON THE "CURSED" JEWS

You still haven't explained why Protestant Germans were disproportionately antisemetic other than to feebly attempt to blame in on Bush the Catholic Church.

I have not denied the culpability of Protestants for the rise of Nazism or anti-semitism. I have, however, posted proof after proof of shared Catholic culpability.

Are you constitutionally incapable of admitting this truth?
