In the midst of today's rampant Sillonist and Ecumenist tendencies, and the false ideals of "tolerance and esteem" with which we are expected to view other religions, we feel that it is time for a little bit of cold-water-on-the-face, so to speak. Specifically, we are referring to the very common, yet very wrong ideas with regard to the Jewish religion. This explicitly Anti-Christ belief system is being dangerously courted by many of our Catholic prelates, and by the Catholic laity at-large. For an orthodox perspective, we thought we'd post a few quotes from saints, eminent prelates, and popes relating to the Jewish Religion.

"The Jews are enemies of God and foes of our holy religion." ~ Padre Pio

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Here is the most learned abbot, Dom prosper Gueranger, OSB, the famed author of "The Liturgical Year:"

 

"For eighteen centuries Israel has been without prince or leader . . . After all these long ages of suffering and humiliation, the justice of the Father is not appeased . . . The very sight of the chastisement inflicted on the murderers proclaims to the world that they were the deicides. Their crime was an unparalleled one; its punishment is to be so, too; it is to last to the end of time --The mark of Parricide here fastens on this ungrateful and sacrilegious people; Cain-like, they shall wander, fugitives on the earth. Eighteen hundred years have passed since then: slavery, misery and contempt have been their portion: but the mark is still upon them."

 

It is difficult to reconcile these statements with the post-conciliar ecclesial attitudes that seem to be commonplace these days, to say the least.
