Nah, any Catholic who knows history doesn’t overlook these.

These are emphatically not doctrinal, but more local/temporal.

Are they bad in today’s sense? You betcha - very bad

Were they bad in the 1215s? No. It does say that “a blasphemer of Christ should not exercise power over Christians” - which, considering what the Talmud says about Jesus, is pretty mild.

However these oppressive measures are not “die or convert” as was the norm of the centuries right until the 19th or 20th in Europe/NordeAmerica

If you wish to judge people of 800 years ago by today, I assume you also are among those who condemn any founding fathers who may have had slaves at some point in their lives?

Except every Roman Catholic today.

Yeah....most Roman Catholics are not even aware of these but when pointed out they often reply in a manner as you.

Whoa.....hold the phone....it was not bad in the 1215s to make Jews wear special clothing or ban them from office????

Well, what in the world happened to make that change from not being bad in the 1215s to now being bad (aside from what happened in WW2).

That "church" that never changes certainly has a lot of change!

As a friend....I'd ask the mods to delete this post if I were you.

It puts in you a very, very bad light.
