Were the popes?Who wrote the antisemitic comment in post 19, "Luther agitated against the demonic cult known as Judaism" which had tied the tongues of all the protesters here. The Jews saw this; it is on the Internet now; your and your colleagues testimony about your reformed religion. It's not much different than an Islamic comment, and look at the usual posse here, playing their roles. Their testimony is vain, for they were silent. I assume they agree with you.
Which pope wrote this ?
I wish and I ask that our rulers who have Jewish subjects exercise a sharp mercy toward these wretched people, as suggested above, to see whether this might not help (though it is doubtful). They must act like a good physician who, when gangrene has set in, proceeds without mercy to cut, saw, and burn flesh, veins, bone, and marrow. Such a procedure must also be followed in this instance. Burn down their synagogues, forbid all that I enumerated earlier, force them to work, and deal harshly with them, as Moses did in the wilderness, slaying three thousand lest the whole people perish. They surely do not know what they are doing; moreover, as people possessed, they do not wish to know it, hear it, or learn it. There it would be wrong to be merciful and confirm them in their conduct. If this does not help we must drive them out like mad dogs, so that we do not become partakers of their abominable blasphemy and all their other vices and thus merit God's wrath and be damned with them. I have done my duty. Now let everyone see to his. I am exonerated. "
