‘The Jews' guilt of the crucifixion of Jesus consigned
them to perpetual servitude, and, like Cain, they are to be wanderers and
fugitives. The Jews will not dare to raise their necks, bowed under the yoke
of perpetual slavery, against the reverence of the Christian faith.’ Pope
Innocent III, 1237 |
|
|
‘Set Jewish synagogues on fire for the honor of God. God
will see we are Christians when we get rid of the Jews. Likewise homes
should be destroyed; they should be put in a stable; they are not heirs of
promises of God and deserve to die.’ Martin Luther, 1543 |
|
|
Kill us, torture us, condemn us, grind us to dust; your
injustice is the proof that we are innocent... The more we are hewn down by
you, the more numerous do we become. The blood of Christians is seed.
(Tertullian, Apology 50:13). |
