Anti-Semitism didn’t just fall out of the sky when Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg.

He learned it, when he was Catholic. The Spanish Inquisition was not even three decades before. The Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492. There was considerable hostility to Jews throughout European Christendom in the late 15th century.

"Anti-Semitism didn’t just fall out of the sky when Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg."

So you accept that Luther was right about Catholicism, but wrong about Judaism? Isn't that cognitive dissonance?

"The Spanish Inquisition was not even three decades before."

The Spanish Inquisition was not a Church activity, it was the de-Islamification of Spain by the Crown after over 700 years of Sharia Law. The standard of citizenship set by the Crown was being a Christian and the Church only judged whether the accused was Christian or not. Punishments and expulsions were also the purvue of the Crown.
