I agree with the Pope. "Outrageous." "Grave." NOT the way Christians behave.

Didn’t used to be that way. Catholic ways must have changed over time.

Since the Church and Christian states viewed the Talmud as a book hateful and insulting toward Christ and gentiles, subsequent popes were also known to organize public burnings of Jewish books. The most well known of them were Innocent IV (1243–1254), Clement IV (1256–1268), John XXII (1316–1334), Paul IV (1555–1559), Pius V (1566–1572) and Clement VIII (1592–1605).

The burnings of Hebrew books was initiated by Pope Gregory IX, who persuaded French King Louis IX to undertake it.
