"Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor
uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but
Christ is all, and in all." (Colossians 3:11).
"The Jews are enemies of God and foes of our holy
religion." ~ Padre Pio
The Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets,
and have persecuted us, do not please God, and they are
adversaries to all men, prohibiting us from speaking to
the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sin
always: for the wrath of God has come upon them to the
end. ~ I Thessalonians ii.14-16
The Gentiles ... have attained to justice, even to the
justice is of the faith. But Israel ... has not come unto
the law of justice. Why so? Because they sought it not by
faith... For they stumbled at the Stumbling Stone. ~
Romans ix.30-32
Many shall come from the East and West and sit down with
Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven, but
the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the
exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth. ~ St. Matthew viii.11-12
The Jews knew that Christ was the son of David. And even
now they hope for His Coming. It is hidden from them that
He has come, but it is hidden because they willed it so.
For, not acknowledging Him on the cross, the knowledge of
Him reigning in glory should not be theirs ... Why are the
Jews hoping for what has already come, and not fearful for
what is to come? For Our Lord Jesus Christ ... referred
Himself as "the Stone" (Matthew xxi.44), that whoever
stumbles upon it shall be bruised; but upon whom it shall
fall, it will grind to powder ... Lying on the ground, it
shakes whoever falls over it; coming from on high, it
crushes the proud. The Jews have already been shaken by
their previous stumble. What awaits them is to be crushed
by His Coming. ~ St. Augustine
The "exterior darkness" is that of the Jews, who have
heard truth but not believed. ~ St. Thomas Aquinas
Jews prefer to persist in their stubbornness rather than
to recognize the words of their prophets and the mysteries
of the Scriptures and thus arrive at a knowledge of the
Christian faith and salvation. ~ Bl. Pope Gregory X
The Jews are deprived of these good things, for they are
not brought to life by Christ; for sin remains unwashed
away in them; neither do they advance unto the kingdom of
Heaven since they have dishonored Christ Who is the Guide
to Heaven. For they did not believe Him when He said: "I
am Way" and "I am the Door." ~ St. Eusebius of Caesaria
Whence the Gospel says: "Two women shall be grinding at
the mill; one shall be taken and the other left" (Matthew
xxiv.42). The Holy Church shall be taken up into eternal
rest: she who has ground the food of holiness unto the
Lord. The Synagogue, stained with blood, shall be left at
the mill, to endure its own unfaithfulness forever. ~ St.
Maximus of Turin
The Jewish people fell from the heights because of their
faithlessness and condemned their Redeemer to a shameful
death. Their godlessness has assumed such forms that, for
the salvation of our own people, it becomes necessary to
prevent their disease. Besides usury, through which Jews
everywhere have sucked dry the property of impoverished
Christians, they are accomplices of thieves and robbers;
and the most damaging aspect of the matter is that they
allure the unsuspecting through magical incantations,
superstition, and witchcraft to the Synagogue of Satan and
boast of being able to predict the future. We have
carefully investigated how this revolting sect abuses the
name of Christ and how harmful they are to those whose
life is threatened by their deceit. On account of these
and other serious matters, and because of the gravity of
their crimes which increase day to day more and more, We
order that, within 90 days, all Jews in our entire earthly
realm of justice -- in all towns, districts, and places --
must depart these regions. ~ Pope St. Pius V (From his
Bull, "The Jewish Race," Feb.26, 1569; PAC, p.648).
The faithlessness of the Synagogue is an insult to the
Savior. Therefore, He chose the barque of Peter and
deserted the boat of Moses; that is, He rejected the
faithless Synagogue and adopted the believing Church ...
Of these two ships, one is left at the shore, idle and
empty; the other, loaded filled, is launched into the
deep. For the Synagogue is left idle on the beach. Because
of its own fault, it has lost Christ along with the
warnings of the prophets. But the freighted Church is
taken out into the deep, because it received the Lord
together with the teaching of the Apostles. The Synagogue,
I say, remains on the land, held fast as it were to
earthly things. The Church is called forth to the deep, as
though to search into the profound mysteries of Heaven. ~
St. Ambrose
St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo Two nations are in thy
womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb;
one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall
serve the younger. ~ Genesis xxv:23
Who is this younger child that overcomes the elder but the
Gentiles, who struggle with Juda ... and who, though only
the child of promise, supplants him who was the son
according to the flesh? ~ Pope St. Leo the Great
The Jews wander over the entire earth, their backs bent
and their eyes cast downward, forever calling to our minds
the curse they carry with them. ~ St. Augustine
Go, so that cured by Christian faith, you may not die in
Jewish unfaith, but may live forever with Jesus Christ Our
Lord. ~ St. Peter Chrysologus
For, raging against the Gentiles as unclean, Israel became
in very truth unclean themselves; while the Gentiles have
become clean, the justice of Israel has become like the
rag of a menstruous woman. ~ St. Basil the Great“To
judaize, namely to observe Saturday, or other Jewish
ceremonies, is mortal [sin]: because that pertains to the
superstition of a false divine cult, according to Cajetan,
in his summa. If however one observes Saturday, not for
the purposes of a Jewish rite, but for some other pious
reason, such as to venerate the Blessed Virgin Mary, he
would not sin mortally. To converse with Jews is forbidden
at Canon Law, in many places in the capitular De Judaeis
etc. 28 q. 1 Capitular Nullus, etc and all of them
regarding assiduous, and familiar conversation, due to the
danger of subversion, and especially in ten cases is it
forbidden: First, to live with them; Second, to eat with
them; Third, to bathe with them; Fourth, to call upon them
for medical care; Fifth, to accept their medicine; Sixth,
to feed their children in their houses; Seven, to serve
them, as employees; Eight, to be their slaves; Nine, for
them to hold public office amongst Christians; Ten, to eat
their azyme [matzo]. To tolerate them in public office is
mortal, because this disparages the dignity of the
Christian Faith, and for that reason is it forbidden. The
same, because this would cause too great a familiarity,
and consequently a danger of subversion, as supra. I say
the same for the consumption of their azyme. To do all of
that is mortal. To eat food with them when one has a
choice is never permitted, apart from extreme necessity.”
~ Fra Bartolomeo Fumo, O.P., Inquisitor General for the
Duchies of Parma and Piacenza, +1542 A.D. (Citation from
the medieval Inquistor’s manual explaining what can and
cannot be done vis-à-vis Jews, based on the canonical
legislation promulgated by Pope Gregory IX in A.D. 1234,
in the capitular “De Judaeis” [Of the Jews].)
Early and often did the Lord send His messengers to them,
for He had compassion on His people ... But they mocked
the messengers of God, despised His warnings, and scoffed
at His prophets, until the anger of the Lord against His
people was so inflamed that there was no remedy. ~ II
Paralipomenon xxxvi.15-16
God, Who ... in times past spoke by the prophets, last of
all in these days hath spoken to us by His Son ... Last of
all, He sent them His Son, saying: "They will reverence My
Son" ... But, taking Him, they cast Him forth and killed
Him. When therefore the Lord shall come, what will He do
to those men? ... He will bring those evil men to an evil
end, and he will let out His vineyard to other husbandmen
who shall render Him fruit in due season ... Therefore I
say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken away
from you and given to a nation yielding the fruits
thereof. ~ Hebrews i.1-2 St. Matthew xxi.37-43
Christ annuls the first Covenant to establish the Second.
~ Hebrews x.9
For the Jews, still clinging to that sacrifice which is
according to the Order of Aaron, let slip that sacrifice
which is according to the Order of Melchisedech, and they
lost Christ. And the Gentiles, to whom He had not hitherto
sent His heralds [?], began to possess Him. ~ St.
Augustine
Since the Jews, through their evil designs against the
Savior, have been cast away from grace, He has built out
of the Gentiles a second holy Church: the Church of us
Christians. ~ St. Cyril of Jerusalem
St. Bernard of Clairvaux
O intelligence coarse, dense, and, as it were, cow-like,
which did not recognize God, even in His own works!
Perhaps the Jew will complain that I call his intelligence
bovine. But let him read what is said by the prophet
Isaias, and he will find that his intelligence is even
less than bovine. For Isaias says: "The ox knows his
Owner, and the ass knows his Master's crib; but Israel has
not known Me, and My people have not understood" (i.3).
You see, O Jew, I am easier on you than your own prophet.
I have compared you to brute beasts, but he places you
even below them! ~ St. Bernard of Clairvaux
When the offspring of the Jews abandoned the customs of
the their fathers, the truth abandoned them and took
refuge in the Church. It abandoned them when they said of
the Lord Jesus: "Away with Him! Crucify Him!" for they
gave up truth and chose iniquity. ~ St. Ambrose
A conspiracy is found among the men of Juda and among the
inhabitants of Jerusalem. They have returned to the former
iniquities of their fathers who refused to hear My words.
Thus, they likewise have gone after strange gods, to serve
them; the House of Israel and the House of Juda have made
void My covenant which I made with their fathers. ~
Jeremias xi.9-10
My people did not hear My voice, and Israel harkened not
to Me ... They gave Me gall for My food, and in My thirst
they gave Me vinegar to drink ... Let their eyes be
darkened, and their back bend down always. Pour out Thy
indignation upon them: let Thy wrathful anger take hold of
them. Let their habitation be made desolate, and let there
be no One to dwell in their tabernacles, because they have
persecuted Him Whom Thou hast smitten, and they have added
to the grief of My wounds. Add Thou iniquity upon their
iniquity; and let them not come into Thy justice. Let them
be blotted out of the Book of the Living, and with the
Just let them not be written. ~ Psalm lxxx.12;
lxviii.22-29
So clearly was the transition then made from the Synagogue
to the Church that, when the Lord gave up His soul, the
veil of the Temple was rent in two. ~ Pope St. Leo the
Great
Dreadful are the ends of a wicked race! ~ Wisdom iii.19
And the Lord said. This people is stiffnecked. Let Me
alone, that My wrath may be kindled against them, that I
may destroy them. ~ Exodus xxxii.9 The Catholic Church,
God's Chosen People
Since His spouse, the Synagogue, refused to receive Him,
Christ answered: "This is a harlot!" And He gave her a
bill of divorce, as we read in Isaias (50:1): "Thus says
the Lord: Behold, you are sold for your iniquities; and
for your evil deeds have I put your mother away. Because I
came and there was not a man; I called and there was no
one who would hear." And so the Jews, the sons of the
harlot, were repudiated. ~ St. Vincent Ferrer
You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you
always resist the Holy Ghost; as your fathers did, so do
you also. Which of the prophets have not your fathers
persecuted? And they have slain them who foretold the
coming of the Just One, of Whom you have now been the
betrayers and murderers. ~ Acts vii.51-52
What is your iniquity, O daughter of Jacob, that your
chastisement is so severe? You have dishonored the King
and the King's Son, you shameless one, you harlot! ~ St.
Ephrem
You shall cry out in that day from the face of the king
whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not
hear you on that day because you desired unto yourselves a
king. ~ I Kings viii.18
I have come in the name of My Father, and you receive Me
not. If another shall come in his own name, him you will
receive... But they cried out: "We have no king but
Caesar!" ~ St. John v.43; xix.15
We order all our brother bishops absolutely to suppress
the blasphemy of Jews in your dioceses, churches, and
communities, so that they do not dare raise their necks,
bent under eternal slavery, to revile the Redeemer. ~ Pope
Gregory IX.
The wretched Jews cried out: "We will not have this man to
reign over us!" (Luke xix.14). We, on the contrary, desire
to proclaim in the face of Heaven and earth: "We want
Thee, Lord Jesus, to reign over us!" ~ St. John Eudes
They have rejected Me, that I should not reign over
them...They have forsaken Me and served strange gods. ~ I
Kings viii.7-8
His Holiness Pope Gregory IX
My people, what have I done to you? Or in what way have I
offended you? Answer Me. What more could I have done, and
did not do? I led you out of the land of Egypt, and you
prepared a cross for Me. I opened the Red Sea before you,
and you opened My side with a lance. I gave you a royal
scepter, and you have given Me a crown of thorns. With
great power I lifted you up, and you have hung Me upon a
gibbet. My people, what have I done to you, or in what
have I offended you? ~ Reproaches of Good Friday
What more is there that I ought to do to My vineyard that
I have not done to it? ... And now I will show you what I
will do to My vineyard: I will take away its hedge and it
shall be wasted; I will break down its wall, and it shall
be trodden down. ~ Isaias v.4-5
Ungrateful for favors and forgetful of benefits, the Jews
return insult for kindness and impious contempt for
goodness. They ought to know the yoke of perpetual
enslavement because of their guilt. See to it that the
perfidious Jews never in the future grow insolent, but
that they always suffer publicly the shame of their sin in
servile fear. ~ Pope Gregory IX
This people hath sinned a heinous sin, and they have made
to themselves gods of gold. ~ Exodus xxxii.31
Jews are the living words of Scripture for us, for they
remind us always of what Our Lord suffered. They are
dispersed all over the world so that, by expiating [?]
their crime, they may everywhere be the living witnesses
of our redemption ... Wherefore, the Church says: "Scatter
them by Thy power, and bring them down, O Lord" (Psalm
lviii.12). These words have been fulfilled literally: the
Jews are dispersed, humbled, and reduced to hard
servitude. ~ St. Bernard of Clairvaux
The Angelic Doctor, St. Thomas Aquinas It would be licit,
according to custom, to hold the Jews in perpetual
servitude because of their crime. ~ St. Thomas Aquinas
The Jews, whom Holy Church tolerates in diverse parts of
the world in testimony to Jesus Christ, wish to persevere
in their hardness and blindness rather than acknowledge
the words of the prophets and the mysteries of the Holy
Scriptures, and to come to the knowledge of the Christian
faith and salvation. ~ Pope Martin V
Let the Gospel be preached to them and, if they remain
obstinate, let them be expelled. ~ Pope Leo VII
Let their eyes be dim so that they cannot see, and let
them walk bent-backed forever with a heavy load. ~ Psalm
lxviii.24
The Lord made Cain a wanderer and fugitive over the earth,
but set a mark upon him, making his head to shake, lest
anyone finding him should slay him. Thus the Jews, against
whom the blood of Christ calls out, although they ought
not to be killed, nevertheless, as wanderers they must
remain upon the earth until their faces are filled with
shame and they seek the name of Jesus Christ the Lord. ~
Pope Innocent III
Thou shalt eat bread ... and cover it with the dung that
cometh out of a man ... Thus shall the children of Israel
eat their bread all filthy among the nations wither I will
cast them out, saith the Lord. ~ Ezechiel iv.12-13
They shall not please the Lord ...and their sacrifices
shall be like the bread of mourners: all who eat it shall
be defiled. ~ Osee ix.4
Jews are beheld scattered throughout the whole world: they
have been punished for no other reason than for the
impious hands they laid on Christ. ~ St. Sulpicius Severus
Poor Jews! You invoked a dreadful curse upon your own
heads in saying: "His blood be on us and our children";
and that curse, miserable race, you carry upon you to this
day, and to the End of Time you shall endure the
chastisement of that innocent blood. O my Jesus! ... I
will not be obstinate like the Jews. I will love Thee
forever, forever, forever! ~ St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori
St. Alphonus Maria Liguori
*We are told by the Apostle that when the time is ripe all
Israel shall be saved. But those who die beforehand will
remain in death. ~ St. Bernard of Clairvaux
I knew in my faith that the Jews were accursed and
condemned without end, except those who were converted. ~
Bl. Juliana of Norwich
One who dies a Jew will be damned. ~ St. Vincent Ferrer
Unless over-and-above the commandments of the Old Law, you
also fulfill the precepts of Christ, you shall not enter
into the kingdom of Heaven. ~ St. Thomas Aquinas
For, if we still live according to Judaism, we must
confess that we have not received grace. ~ St. Ignatius of
Antioch
There are some Sacraments giving salvation, and others
only promising a Savior. The Sacraments of the New
Testament give salvation, the Sacraments of the Old Law
promise a Savior. ~ St. Augustine
Therefore, thus says the Lord God of Israel: Behold, I
will bring on evils upon Jerusalem and upon Juda, that
whosoever shall hear of them, both his ears shall tingle
... because they have done evil before Me and have
continued to provoke Me from the day their fathers came
out of Egypt even unto this day. ~ IV Kings xxi.12,15
St. Cyril of Alexandria It has come to pass that the last
condition of Israel is worse than the first for, as the
Savior's disciple says (II Peter ii.21-22), it would be
better for them not to have known the way of justice than,
after they have known it, to turn back from that holy
commandment which was delivered to them. For the true
Proverb has happened to them: the dog has returned to his
vomit, and the sow that had washed has returned to her
wallowing in the mire (Proverbs xxvi.11). And from what
they afterwards dared to do, it is plain to see that the
Jews have swallowed their vomit and turned again to wallow
in their ancient mire and relapsed into the errors of
Egypt, for the Evil Spirit has again entered into them,
and their last state has become worse than their first. ~
St. Cyril of Alexandria
Jews are cursed and covered with malediction as by a
cloak. The curse has penetrated them like water in their
bowels and oil in their bones. They are cursed in the city
and cursed in the country, cursed in their coming in and
cursed in their going out. Cursed are the fruits of their
loins, of their lands, of their flocks; cursed are their
cellars, their granaries, their shops, their food, the
very crumbs off their tables! ~ St. Agobard
Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,
did afterwards destroy those who did not believe ... Woe
unto them! For they have gone the way of Cain ... carried
about by winds ... raging waves of the sea, foaming out
their own confusion, wandering stars to whom the storm of
darkness is reserved forever. ~ St. Jude 5, 11-13
I hold that those of the seed of Abraham who live
according to the Law of Moses and who do not believe in
Christ before death shall likewise not be saved; and
especially shall they not be saved who curse this very
Christ in the synagogues and who curse everything by which
they might obtain salvation and escape the vengeance of
fire. ~ St. Justin the Martyr
O most wretched man! You know very well that on the Day of
Judgment the crucified God Whom you blaspheme will send
you to Hell. ~ St. Theodoret of Antioch
Cursed shall you be in the city, cursed in the field.
Cursed be your barn and cursed your stores. Cursed shall
be the fruit of your womb, the fruit of your ground, the
herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep. Cursed
shall you be coming in and cursed going out. ~ Deuteronomy
xxviii.16-19
The Synagogue is a godless house, a collection of
wickedness, and God Himself has damned it. ~ St. Ambrose
(PAC, p.642)
Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling
block, and a recompense to them. ~ Psalm lxviii.23
Having turned from the Jews, the Lord will now abide in
the hearts of the Gentiles. Accordingly, they who hate Him
are passed by, and they who love Him are preferred before
them. ~ St. Ambrose
Be it known to you, therefore, that this salvation of God
is sent to the Gentiles. ~ Acts xxviii.28 St. Ambrose
O Jews! Your impiety has served our salvation. The death
of Christ liberates us; it accuses you. You alone, by
right, lack that which should be lost to everyone. ~ Pope
St. Leo the Great
The Jews, therefore, not only made themselves strangers to
the covenants, but also dishonored the Father and killed
the Son in envy. The Prophet invites the congregation of
the House of Israel to praise Him, but they went about to
kill Him and hastened to do evil. ~ St. Ephrem
It may be that the Jews, looking for another Christ, will
laugh at our wisdom; for of them the Prophet has rightly
said: "Their sepulchers shall be their houses forever"
(Psalm xlviii.12). They laugh now, but they shall weep,
for they shall weep when they look upon Him "Whom they
have pierced" (Zacharias xii.10). ~ St. Amphilocius of
Iconium
Well should the Jew mourn who, not believing in Christ,
has assigned his soul to perdition ...The Jews have
crucified the Son and rejected the Holy Ghost, and their
souls are the abode of the devil. ~ St. John Chrysostom
Behold, I tell you that, if you be circumcised, Christ
will be of no advantage to you. ~ Galatians v.2
St. Athanasius
Therefore, the Jewish system is destroyed, for it was only
a shadow; but that of the Church is firmly established,
for it is built on the Rock, and the gates of Hell shall
not prevail against it. ~ St. Athanasius
The most holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes, and
teaches that the Mosaic Law ... cannot be observed without
the loss of eternal salvation ... Everyone, therefore, who
observes circumcision and the Sabbath and the other
requirements of the Law, the Church declares not in the
least fit ... to participate in eternal salvation. ~
Council of Florence
For if the Law were not taken away, the leprosy of the
soul would never be healed; because each one who lives
under the Law is a leper. ~ St. John Chrysostom
Do not add to your sins by saying that the Covenant is
both theirs and ours. Yes, it is ours, but they lost it
forever. Assuredly, God gave the Covenant to the Jews, but
because of their sins they were not worthy to receive it.
Moses received the Testament, but the Jews were not
worthy. ~ St. Barnabas
The Jews were unworthy to perceive the meaning of the
divinely-inspired Scriptures which speak of the mystery of
Christ. And because they had taken no notice of the truth,
they made themselves unworthy of the salvation which flows
from Christ. ~ St. Cyril of Alexandria
No man cometh to the Father but by Me. ~ St. John xiv.6
And this is God's commandment, that we should believe in
the name of His Son Jesus Christ ... Who is a liar but he
who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist
who denies the Father and the Son. Whosoever denies the
Son does not have the Father. ~ I St. John iii.23;ii.22-23
Those who deny the Son thereby deny also the Father. ~ St.
Athanasius
I testify to every man who calls upon God but rejects His
Son, that his faith is vain; for he who has not believed
in the Son does not believe in the Father. ~ St. Basil the
Great
He who honors not the Son, honors not the Father Who sent
Him. ~ St. John v.23
St. Cyprian
There is need of constant prayer lest we
defect from the heavenly kingdom, as have the Jews to whom
it was first promised. This the Lord makes unmistakably
clear by saying: "Many will come from East and West and
recline at the banquet table with Abraham and Isaac and
Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven, whereas those born to the
kingdom will be driven into the darkness outside, there to
wail and gnash their teeth" ... Our Lord shows that the
Jews were formerly children of the kingdom, but after the
name "Father" disappeared from among them, so did the
kingdom. The Jews have remained in darkness for having
forsaken the light. ~ St. Cyprian
God abhors those who refuse to offer to His Son the honor
they pretend to pay to Himself. ~ St. Amphilocius of
Iconium
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have
sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who
hates Me, hates My Father also ... If you believe not that
I am He, you shall die in your sin. ~ St. John
xv.22-23;viii.24
They who refuse to believe in Christ are insane. ~ Bl.
James of Voragine
All who do not confess Christ to be the true God shall be
cast into eternal flames. ~ St. Martial of Limoges
If anyone does not worship the Crucified One, let him be
anathema and numbered among the deicides. ~ St. Gregory
Nazianzen
If any man love not Our Lord Jesus Christ, let him be
anathema, maranatha. ~ I Corinthians xvi.22
The hearts of the unbelieving Jews do not even yet by any
means acknowledge Christ to be God and, harder than
flintstones, they will not be broken by repentance. ~ Pope
St. Gregory the Great
For all the House of Israel is a hard forehead and an
obstinate heart. ~ Ezechiel iii.7
O Jewish hearts, harder than rocks! ~ St. Ambrose
The heart of this people has grown gross, and with their
ears they have heard heavily, and they have shut their
eyes lest perhaps they should see with their eyes and hear
with their ears and understand with their heart. ~ Acts
xxviii.27
Since this wicked generation did not know that it should
repent, but daily became more wicked, its last state was
worse than its first ... The evil and adulterous
generation of the Jews were to be condemned because of
their hard and unrepentant hearts. ~ St. Bruno
God has given them the spirit of insensibility: eyes that
they should not see and ears that they should not hear,
unto this present day. ~ Romans xi.8 St. Bruno
Nor is it sufficient that we call Him Who is in Heaven
"Father." We must add to the name "Our Father." This name
rebukes and condemns the Jews who not only spurned Christ
faithlessly, but also cruelly executed Him Who was
announced to them by the prophets, and sent first to their
nation. No longer may they call God their Father, because
the Lord confounds and refutes them, saying: "Your father
is the Devil" (John viii.44). O sinful nation, O people
weighed down with guilt, breed of evil-doers, lawless
children, you have turned your backs on the Lord and have
provoked the Holy One of Israel! We Christians at prayer
say "Our Father," since He has begun to be ours, but
ceased to be the Father of the Jews who have forsaken Him.
There is no way a sinful nation can be His children; on
the contrary, that title is bestowed on those to whom
remission of sins has been granted and to whom eternal
life has been promised. ~ St. Cyprian
Indeed, if any one of the clergy or faithful has taken a
meal with Jews, it is determined that, as a corrective
punishment, he is to abstain from Communion so that he may
be reformed. ~ Council of Elvira
How dare Christians have the slightest intercourse with
Jews, those most miserable of all men. They are lustful,
rapacious, greedy, perfidious bandits -- pests of the
universe! Indeed, an entire day would not suffice to tell
of all their rapine, their avarice, their deception of the
poor, their thievery, and their huckstering. Are they not
inveterate murderers, destroyers, men possessed by the
devil? Jews are impure and impious, and their synagogue is
a house of prostitution, a lair of beasts, a place of
shame and ridicule, the domicile of the devil, as is also
the soul of the Jew. As a matter of fact, Jews worship the
devil: their rites are criminal and unchaste; their
religion a disease; their synagogue an assembly of crooks,
a den of thieves, a cavern of devils, an abyss of
perdition! Why are Jews degenerate? Because of their
hateful assassination of Christ. This supreme crime lies
at the root of their degradation and woes. The rejection
and dispersion of the Jews was the work of God, not of
emperors. It was done by the wrath of God and because of
His absolute abandonment of the Jews. Thus, the Jew will
live under the yoke of slavery without end. God hates the
Jews, and on Judgment Day He will say to those who
sympathize with them., "Depart from Me, for you have had
intercourse with My murderers!" Flee, then, from their
assemblies, fly from their houses, and, far from
venerating the synagogue, hold it in hatred and aversion.
~ St. John Chrysostom
Whosoever does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in
the flesh is Antichrist, and whosoever does not profess
the testimony of the cross is a devil, and whosoever
perverts the saying of the Lord to his own evil desires
... is the first-born of Satan. ~ St. Polycarp of Smyrna
By their malice, the Scribes and Pharisees and princes of
the Jews were a considerable hindrance to the salvation of
the people, both because they opposed Christ's doctrine,
which was the only way to salvation, and also because
their evil ways corrupted the morals of the people. ~ St.
Thomas Aquinas
Judaism, since Christ, is a corruption; indeed, Judas is
the image of the Jewish people: their understanding of
Scripture is carnal; they bear the guilt for the death of
the Savior, for through their fathers they have killed
Christ. The Jews held Him; the Jews insulted Him; the Jews
bound Him; they crowned Him with thorns and dishonored Him
by spitting upon Him; they scourged Him; they heaped
abuses upon Him; they hung Him upon a tree. ~ St.
Augustine
Jews are slayers of the Lord, murderers of the prophets,
enemies and haters of God, adversaries of grace, enemies
of their fathers' faith, advocates of the devil, a brood
of vipers, slanderers, scoffers, men of darkened minds,
the leaven of Pharisees, a congregation of demons,
sinners, wicked men, haters of goodness! ~ St. Gregory of

St. Basil If someone should kill the beloved son of a man,
and then stretch forth their hands still stained with
blood to the afflicted father, asking for fellowship,
would not the blood of his son, visible on the hand of his
murderer, provoke him to just anger instead? And such are
the prayers of the Jews, for when they stretch forth their
hands in prayer, they only remind God-the-Father of their
sin against His Son. And at every stretching-forth of
their hands, they only make it obvious that they are
stained with the blood of Christ. For they who persevere
in their blindness inherit the blood-guilt of their
fathers; for they cried out: "His blood be upon us, and
upon our children" (Matthew xxvii.25). ~ St. Basil the
Great
In what sort of reproach, then, are the Jews? A Jew
carries The Book, by which the Christians may believe.
They have become our librarians, just as servants are
accustomed to carry books behind their masters. The
servants faint by carrying them, while the masters grow
strong by reading them. ~ St. Augustine
The Jews, from whose hearts Our Savior did not remove the
veil because of their enormous crimes but caused them
justly to continue in their blindness, commit acts of
shame which engender astonishment in those who hear, and
terror in those who discover it. ~ Pope Innocent IV (from
his Bull, "The Wicked Perfidy of the Jews," PAC, p.658.)
PAC = "The Plot Against the Church" by Maurice Pinay, Los
Angeles, CA: St. Anthony Press, 1967).
Pope Benedict XIV
It is fitting for Jews to serve Christians, but not for
Christians to serve Jews. On the contrary, the Jews, as
servants rejected by that Savior Whose death they wickedly
contrived, should recognize themselves in fact and in
creed the servants of those whom the death of Christ has
set free, even as it has rendered them bondmen. ~ Pope
Innocent III ("Etsi Judaeos," a Decretal cited by Pope
Benedict XIV in the above; same page).
We exhort you not to tolerate that Jews rule Christians
and have power over them. For, to allow Christians to be
subjected to Jews and to be delivered to their whims means
to oppress the Church of God and to revile Christ Himself.
~ Pope Gregory VII (Epistle to King Alphonsus of Castile,
PAC, p.641).
It is known that the Jewish people are polluted with
wickedness, blasphemy, and the shedding of the blood of
Jesus Christ so that their wickedness has no limit. ~ St.
Felix of Toledo ("On the Condemnation of the Jews,"
Council XVII of Toledo, Spain, Canon No. 8; PAC, p.376).
There are innumerable judgments of the ancient Fathers
concerning the falsehood of the Jews ... According to the
prophetic forecast concerning their stiffneckedness,
theirs is the sin of Judas who, in their blindness and
stiffneckedness, are harder than a stone. ~ Council of
Toledo XVI, Canon no.1 "In the Face of Jewish Falsehood,"
PAC, p.371).
Our ways of life and those of the Jews are utterly
different, and Jews will easily pervert the souls of
simple folk to their superstition and unbelief if such
folk are living in continual and intimate intercourse with
them. ~ Pope Alexander III ("Ad Haec," a Decretal, cited
by Benedict XIV as above, p.137).
When Jews are admitted out of pity into familiar
intercourse with Christians, they repay their hosts after
the fashion of the rat hidden in the sack, or the snake in
the bosom, or of the burning brand in one's lap. ~ Pope
Innocent III (PAC, p.137).
Pope Alexander III
With troubled heart, We are reminded that many of those
converted from the error of Jewish blindness to the light
of the Christian Faith have fallen back into their former
falsehood. Proceed with intensity against all who make
themselves guilty of this crime, against heretics, and
against those who support, protect, and defend them. ~
Pope Nicholas IV (the Bull, "With Troubled Heart," PAC,
cf. p.659).
With great sorrow and mortal anxiety, We have heard that
the Jews have in a Christian land the same rights as
Christians, that Christian men and women live under the
same roof with these traitors and defile their souls day
and night with blasphemies! ~ Pope Stephen III (Epistle to
the Bishop of Norbonne, PAC, cf. p.427).
The Catholic Church infallibly teaches: Extra Ecclesiam
Nulla Salus [Translation: Outside of the Church there is
no salvation.]
Be it known to you all and to all the people of Israel,
that by the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead,
even by him, this man standeth before you, whole. This is
the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is
become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation
in any other. For there is no other name under heaven
given to men, whereby we must be saved. ~ Acts iv. 10-12
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH'S WARNINGS ABOUT JUDAISM
"Throughout the centuries, countless Popes have reiterated
to the Catholic Faithful, the grave dangers and horrors of
the perfidious teachings promulgated by Jews after their
willful rejection of Christ." -- David Hobson, from whom
many the followiing quotes were derived, at his websites,
www.opusdeialert.com
"One who dies a Jew will be damned." -St. Vincent Ferrer
(1350–1419 A.D.)
The most holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes, and
teaches that the Mosaic Law ... cannot be observed without
the loss of eternal salvation ... Everyone, therefore, who
observes circumcision and the Sabbath and the other
requirements of the Law, the Church declares not in the
least fit ... to participate in eternal salvation.

True Show of Charity: Organized and fully sanctioned by
the Holy Roman Catholic Church in 1414 A.D., the Congress
of Tortosa for the Conversion of Israel (The Jews) bore
marvelous fruit!
St. Vincent Ferrer, Confessor (1350–1419 A.D.)
"...in all of these places the power of God was manifested
in His enabling him (St. Vincent Ferrer) to work miracles
and effect the conversion of an incredible number of Jews
and sinners. The Jews of Toledo, embracing the faith,
changed their synagogue into a church under the name of
Our Lady's."
St. Vincent Ferrer, who took part in the Congress of
Tortosa, collaborated in a Treatise on the Jews which
served as a base for his further labors among them... the
most cautious of historians state St. Vincent converted
25,000 Jews to The Faith.
From the Bulla of the Canonization (Bull S. Ord. Praed.
T.V., Pope Pius II) of St. Vincent Ferrer:"In the
countries of the West the number of Jews and infidels
increased, who by their wealth and their culture of
letters exercised a fatal influence. The Last Day, the
terrible Day of Judgement was almost forgotten, but Divine
Providence was pleased to restore and beautify His Church
by illustrious men. At a favorable moment He sent into the
world, for the salvation of the faithful, Vincent of
Valencia, of the Order of Friar Preachers, a skillful
professor of sacred theology. He professed all knowledge
of the eternal Gospel. Like a vigorous athlete, he rushed
to combat the errors of the Jews, the Saracens and other
infidels; he was the Angel of the Apocalypse, flying
through the heavens to announce the day of the Last
Judgment, to evangelize the inhabitants of the earth, to
sow the seeds of salvation among all nations, tribes,
peoples and tongues and to point out the way of eternal
life." -Fr. Andrew Pradel, O.P St. Vincent Ferrer, The
Angel of The Judgment Imprimatur: A. de Pous, Vicar
General, Toulouse, Oct 9, 1863

Judgement, The Life of The Glorious St. Vincent Ferrer
Crucifiers of Christ ought to be held in continual
subjection. ~ Pope Innocent III
Around 1492 A.D. the top Jews in Spain had wormed their
way into high positions of Church and State by pretending
to be Catholics. These false Marrano Jews, as they were
called, were involved in treacheries against Spain and The
Church. The Catholic Church's Glorious Inquisition was
used to confront this grave attack on Catholic Life, with
the holy purpose of weeding out these infiltrating Jews,
who were masquerading as converts, whose sole purpose (the
Jewish infiltrators) was to subvert the Catholic Church
from within, while remaining undetected.
Queen Isabella prudently instituted the Holy Spanish
Inquisition which was constituted to inquire who precisely
were the false Marrano Jews who were working in Church and
in State to betray both. The Holy Inquisitors were
theological experts who followed the rules meticulously
and justly, and carefully rooted out the traitors who were
about to betray and perhaps destroy Spain first, and then
Catholic Europe.
There is much evidence that Opus Dei's, unholy founder
"Escriva" came from very proximate Jewish ancestry. Some
point out that "Escriva's" changing his name a documented
five (5) times, was a stealthy "shell game" tactic he
("Escriva") utilized to keep his anti-Catholic roots
hidden. Yet, although he may have thought it expedient to
keep his alleged Talmudic background in the dark and from
public scrutiny; he (Escriva) during this era of the
"uneducated Catholic" nonetheless, brazenly showed himself
as one to have openly and knowingly judaized. [That is
only of course presupposing he ever intentionally held the
Catholic Faith and not just demonically exuded, just
enough of a calculated veneer of Catholicism exteriorly,
in order to snatch the unthinking and/or unweary Catholic
into his anti-Christ Marrano Money Cult.]
Thus when Escriva teaches that Our Divine Lord Jesus
Christ, was not more than one of his most loved Jews. It
gives even more evidence (as if it were needed) that this
group was instituted and formed by Jews long ago as a part
of their age-old plot of infiltration to destroy their
greatest nemesis and obstacle to their quest for worldly
power – the Catholic Church.

Helping Him and Others to Become Rabbis

(see full text of Kreiman's exact statement below)
(Note: The following information about Opus Dei's Rabbis,
was taken directly from Opus Dei's Official Website on
January 31, 2002)
*Rabbi Angel Kreiman:
"Many of Josemaria Escriva's concepts call to mind the
Talmudic tradition and reveal his profound knowledge of
the Jewish world."
Rabbi Angel Kreiman contended that Josemaria Escriva's
teachings are strongly rooted in Talmudic traditions about
work. Kreiman, who is the international vice president of
the World Council of Synagogues, made his remarks in an
address to a congress in Rome on Opus Dei's founder. The
rabbi said that he was pleased about the interreligious
prayer meeting for peace occurring January 24 in Assisi.
Such meetings, he said,
"help us to remember often that we all have the same
common father."
The Rabbi, who is a Cooperator of Opus Dei, said he wanted
to demonstrate his special affection for the organization
founded by Josemaria Escriva.
"Opus Dei members helped me, right from the beginning of
my seminary studies, to persevere in my vocation," he
[Kreiman] said, "and I have also seen them do it with
other rabbis, for which I am deeply grateful."
Comment from Webmaster: Escriva and his Opus Dei cult's
love for, and promotion of Talmudic Judaism (documented
above from their official website 01/31/02), is the most
heinous and reprehensible of practices. It is
diametrically opposed to everything a Catholic holds to be
holy and dear. To foolishly think otherwise, is to
surrender to the enemy and to undeniably sever oneself
from Christ's Mystical Body, putting oneself outside of
the Catholic Church.
Throughout the centuries, countless Popes have reiterated
to the Catholic Faithful, the grave dangers and horrors of
the perfidious teachings promulgated by Jews after their
willful rejection of Christ.
In just one historic example, Christ's Vicar, His Holiness
Pope Innocent IV, commanded the burning of the heretical
Talmud.
In 1244, Pope Innocent IV ordered the burning of Jewish
books. He exhorted the Catholic King of France as follows:
"Our dear Son, the Chancellor of Paris, and the Doctors,
before the clergy and people, publicly burned by fire the
aforesaid books (The Talmud) with all their appendices. We
beg and beseech your Celestial Majesty in the Lord Jesus,
that, having begun laudably and piously to prosecute those
who perpetuate these detestable excesses, that you
continue with due severity. And that you command
throughout your whole kingdom that the aforesaid books
with all their glossaries, already condemned by the
Doctors, be committed to the flames... * * *(6)
(6) Bull. Rom. Pont., IV, 509.
In the famous Catholic Church Imprimatured (Approved) Book
The Talmud Unmasked, written by the erudite, Father
Iustinus Bonaventura Pranaitis (A Hebrew Scholar)... Fr.
Pranaitis heroically exposed the demonic prose of the Jews
blasphemic Talmud, which the Marrano Escriva and his
mindless minions (Opus Dei members) adore and strive to
live out.
Fr. Pranaitis wrote:
In numerous places [in the Talmud] ignominious names are
given by the Jews to Christian things. It will not be out
of place to list a few of these names which they give to
things and persons which are held holy and dear by
Christians, as follows:
* JESUS is ignominiously called Jeschu—which means, May
his name and memory be blotted out. His proper name in
Hebrew is Jeschua, which means Salvation.
* MARY, THE MOTHER OF JESUS, is called Charia—dung,
excrement (German Dreck). In Hebrew her proper name is
Miriam.
* CHRISTIAN SAINTS, the word for which in Hebrew is
Kedoschim, are called Kededchim (cinaedos)—feminine men
(Fairies). Women saints are called Kedeschoth, whores.
* SUNDAY is called the day of calamity.
* FEAST OF CHRISTMAS is called Nital, denoting
extermination.
* EASTER is not called by the proper word Pesach
(Passover), but Ketsach, meaning a cutting down; or
Kesach, a Gallows.
* A CHRISTIAN CHURCH is not called Beth Hattefillah, House
of Prayer, but Beth Hattiflah, a House of Vanity, a House
of Evil.
* THE GOSPEL BOOKS are called Aavon Gilaion, Books of
Iniquity.
* CHRISTIAN SACRIFICES are called Dung Offerings. In the
Jerusalem Talmud (fol.13b) the following occurs: "He who
sees them mezabbelim (excrementing—sacrificing) before
their idol, let him say (Exod. XXII, 20): He that
sacrificeth unto an idol shall be utterly destroyed."
Rabbi Iarchi (referring to Num. XXV, 3) teaches that the
Gentiles actually honor their God by excrementing before
him.
Fr. Pranaitis in the epilouge to his book says, "Kind
Reader: In this work I have quoted from only a very few of
the Talmudic books which refer to the Christians. For the
sake of brevity, and to spare your sensitive soul, I
omitted many others which could have been included. If it
revolted you, Christian reader, to study the horrible
blasphemies in this book, do not vent your anger on me. I
did not state in the beginning that I was going to narrate
something pleasant, but merely to show you what the Talmud
really teaches about Christians, and I do not think I
could have done so in a more suitable way." (The Talmud

Anti-Pope John Paul II in Jewish Synagogue
"Their [The
Jews] synagogue is a house of prostitution, a lair of
beasts, a place of shame and ridicule, the domicile of the
devil... " -Words of St. John Chrysostom, Holy Doctor of
the Catholic Church
Karol Wojtyla's (a.k.a John Paul II)) mother, who died in
early years, was born as Kaczorowska. This name is not
Polish but Polonised and is composed of the typical Jewish
name "Katz" (Polonised as "Kacz") and the village she came
from named "Orowsk". As the son of a Jewish mother, Karol
Wojtyla is, according to Jewish law, a genuine Jew.
"Katz", alias John Paul II, begged Jewry for forgiveness,
although their organizations (World Jewish Congress and
Zionism) "initiated World War II", with 55 million dead.
Lavrenti P. Beria (1899-1953 A.D.)
The Holocaust Against Catholics Beria headed Stalin's
Commission for Internal Affairs (NKVD) and other Soviet
intelligence and security organizations from 1938 until
1953 when his attempt to succeed Stalin failed and he was
executed. In the book, *Beria Stalin's First Lieutenant,
his [Beria's] activities are described in gory detail. For
example Beria kept a special room adjacent to his office
for the torturing of small children... Beria killed
countless numbers of Catholics, some estimate in the 10's
of millions, yet in school we never learn about him. And
if we did learn about him, or other Jewish Communist mass
murderers, the book would never mention that any of them
were Jews.
He [anti-pope JP2] asked a people for forgiveness who were
responsible and from whose midst the mass murderers of
genocidal communism emerged and who (like the infamous
Lavrenti P. Beria) murdered as Soviet commissars more than
56 million people, the greatest mass murder in the history
of man, which included seven million alone bludgeoned in
the Ukraine where (Eastern Rite Catholics have
historically been numerous.) Anti-Pope John Paul II did
neither demand atonement nor humility from Jewry for these
horrible crimes, committed in the past and continuing at
present. Now the New Religion known as the Vatican II
Sect, cannot wait to "officially canonize" thier man
"Katz" as possibly the greatest example of holiness to
walk on earth outside of Jesus Christ who was
ignominiously tortured and butchered to death by the
"poor" JEW$.

historical reference purposes and is not an endorsement
for or against this book.

Words of St. John Chrysostom, Doctor of the Church,
Concerning the Perfidious Jews (347-438 A.D)
"How dare Christians have the slightest intercourse with
Jews, those most miserable of all men. They are lustful,
rapacious, greedy, perfidious bandits -- pests of the
universe! Indeed, an entire day would not suffice to tell
of all their rapine, their avarice, their deception of the
poor, their thievery, and their huckstering. Are they not
inveterate murderers, destroyers, men possessed by the
devil? Jews are impure and impious, and their synagogue is
a house of prostitution, a lair of beasts, a place of
shame and ridicule, the domicile of the devil, as is also
the soul of the Jew. As a matter of fact, Jews worship the
devil: their rites are criminal and unchaste; their
religion a disease; their synagogue an assembly of crooks,
a den of thieves, a cavern of devils, an abyss of
perdition! Why are Jews degenerate? Because of their
hateful assassination of Christ. This supreme crime lies
at the root of their degradation and woes. The rejection
and dispersion of the Jews was the work of God, not of
emperors. It was done by the wrath of God and because of
His absolute abandonment of the Jews. Thus, the Jew will
live under the yoke of slavery without end. God hates the
Jews, and on Judgment Day He will say to those who
sympathize with them., "Depart from Me, for you have had
intercourse with My murderers!" Flee, then, from their
assemblies, fly from their houses, and, far from
venerating the synagogue, hold it in hatred and aversion.
-St. John Chrysostom
