"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.

Oh, now. Divine right of kings and all that. You cannot possibly hope to argue that the monarchy and the church were not part and parcel of the same entity. Otherwise the church would not have been the judge for the state expulsions of Jews and burning others at the stake.
