who shared a common, ancient, hatred of the Jews you can source to the serpent in Genesis or dragon in Revelation. They led millions who invoked, and millions more who still invoke, their names in solidarity with their AntiSemitism. sorry, no. Hitler's hatred of Jews was racial, not religious. Luther's was of followers of a religion, not a race
Quite different
Also, i do not associate Luther with anti-semitism as his earlier tracts about them are quite kind, when he thought he could convert them by the power of his words.
Luther was a mercurial person and his words vary over time
Also, i do not associate Luther with anti-semitism as his earlier tracts about them are quite kind, when he thought he could convert them by the power of his words.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.
Furthermore, in her rejection of every persecution against any man, the Church, mindful of the patrimony she shares with the Jews and moved not by political reasons but by the Gospel's spiritual love, decries hatred, persecutions, displays of anti-Semitism, directed against Jews at any time and by anyone."
