eisegesis" exegesis, I presume you mean. Since I am arguing to take Matthew at his word, just as the Catholic Church did for 1400 years, instead of hunting high and low to try to unsay the self-cursing of the jews for jesus's death that Matthew reports, that's pretty amusing.

That comment displays your propensity for side-stepping the issue.
E-I-S-E-G-E-S-I-S:
to twist the text into preconceived notions; forcing the evidence to fit the theory
The historical evidence, and professional opinions of observers and Jews, most appropriately including those that were there, all praise Pius. You sweep all that aside, accepting spin, propoganda, and bad research by those with an unhiddden bias. That is a prima facia case of eisegesis. Unless you can refute that, it really is pointless to attempt to discuss truth with you because you refuse to see.
