Your ignorance never ceases to amaze me. I could waste a whole boatload of official Church teachings on anti-semitism on you and it would have no effect. Honestly, I know what certain Catholics did in the past deeply hurt the Jewish. What I don’t understand why you feel the need to beat a dead horse. You seem hung up on decrees ect..like it’s the gospel.

Your ignorance never ceases to amaze me.

Any post with an opening like that is an admission that you have no reply to the substantive issues raised.

As if additional confirmation were needed to give two confirmations to my previous post:

whole boatload of official Church teachings...You seem hung up on decrees

On the contrary, I explicitly stated the opposite:

Look at the actions taken.

I urged YOU not to be hung up on decrees and writings.

I know what certain Catholics did in the past deeply hurt the Jewish.

The question is not what individual Catholics did: individual Jews, individual Protestants or individual Hindus may have committed many wrongs. The question was what Catholic Church, as an institution, did and did NOT do for almost two millennia.

And you are asking why I mention that? Precisely because of people like you, who huff and puff and get all worked up but have nothing substantive to say and yet try wiggle out by talking about some nebulous "individual Catholics." Yeh, and concentration camps in Russia were just a mistaken behavior of individual communists.

Individuals make individual mistakes, When the same pattern of behavior is exhibited over 16-17 centuries, it is no longer a mere combination of individual behaviors but an organizational behavior.

So what did move you to twist my words and avoid the issue? Is that intellectually honest on your part? You don't have to reply to this post --- answer yourself, your Holiness.
