Jewish Plot Against The Church

[Bonaventure]

Medieval kings saw Jews as their "property," and needed them to get loans.

[LouisIX]

So, who are the idiots that let the Jews take over banking?  Why didn't the Church or some clergymen step in and say "hey, wait a minute, let's make all this bank for ourselves?"

Well, the Church stepped in and tried to combat usury, but that is a very hard practice to stop, especially once it's sold to the people.

Aggressively destroying usury was how Mohamed got his cult going.

Saint Louis attempted to eradicate usury from France.  He also had a Talmud burning.

The chart that's in the link Jaynek shared does mention a couple of instances where the popes ordered the different kings to burn the Talmud.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a historical smear campaign against Louis since he was such an "anti-Semite".

And all the pre-1958 popes as well. Remember that the Church didn't really start until 1965.
Everything before that was... "medieval"

So foreboding.

Did you notice in the article linked to above, that they were complaining that Pius V is still a Saint?  It was as if he should have been "uncanonized" after Jewish groups declared him an anti-Semite.  This sort of thing infuriates me.  These people act like they are in charge of the Church.

I've thought of getting a facebook page to troll our local parish.  Back when we were in the diocese we ended up on an email list for facebook updates and "Catholic activism" esp. re: religious liberty.  A few quotes from some 19/20th century popes on their wall would get them pretty bothered.  And hopefully convert them.

I mean, St. Simon of Trent was effectively uncanonized. Same with, for example, St. Philomena and St. Christopher. I am pretty sure that is what they have in mind.

That makes it even more upsetting.

Yes, I agree. It is of a similar vein to Benedict XVI dispensing the Traditional Good Friday oration for the Jews in favor of a more ecumenical prayer (which was the rationale given by Him and Curial officials). Give anything and they just ask for more.

I can't stand that prayer.
