I categorically reject your view that Luther was not antiSemitic. I condemn his written antiSemitic book so-called The Jews and Their Lies, and all who approve or defend it.
Do you then also condemn the Papacy for its numerous anti-semitic ACTIONs, or is it just the written word that bothers you? Would you then at least condemn the prelude to the Papal Bull of 1569 from the pen of Pope Pius V 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."
OCTOBER 28, 1965. The date the Papacy officially decried anti-semitism. I knew you could come up with a date. I guess it is OK now that the AS Popes are dead. Good for Pope Paul VI.
I’m not defending that horrible book. But I point out that he hated people who did not convert to his way of thinking. He did not hate the Semitic race
