I condemn his written antiSemitic book

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."

Yes. I've wondered why God allowed Gentiles to call themselves Christians while persecuting the Jews, or approving others who persecuted the Jews. Then I remember Psalm 44 and Matthew 25.
