They shared with Toaff, a complete lack of evidence.
What does this have to do with the topic of this thread??? Did I miss something?
Ok. So did you read the book or not? Again, it is not quasing “reality”. It is responding the nonsense as reported in the media.It seems you are already stating that the reality is that the Jews crucified christians for their blood in order to participate in sacred rituals that would go against the very commandments set forth in the Torah.
No. Saint Simone was killed violently, defiled gruesomely and his body dumped by a river. That is not in debate. Someone DID do something. The questions are a) who are the most likely supsects and b) if it turns out to be a rogue Jewish sect, why can we not pursue this line of questioning? and c) Is any evidence to this topic heretofore simply dismissed as anti-semitic?
It only matters because people will tend to increase their hatred of Jews based on a revival of this nonsense.
Why don’t we discuss whether he was abducted by a UFO and experimented on? There’s about as much evidence for it.
Of course you can and obviously are pursuing it, we’re allowed to wonder why the excitement for an explanation where there’s no evidence, only an assertion that “somebody might have done something.”
I agree Valke, but people like that will find another reason anyway. Honestly, I had never heard of this and I do not feel that my life is any better for doing so.
The accused were burnt alive.I have a solution. Let’s dig up the Jews in question, convict them of it, and hang them so that justice may be served.
I know. I was more or less saying that what is done, is done. Unless it is going on now, I see nothing that can be gained from a footnote in history, even if it was true.
I think that’s always good advice
Well, if you’re not interested, it doesn’t.
But you obviously felt compelled to comment, so I guess it does. You tell ME Bingo.
The question is how should this change how we see the medieval church and Christianity. It lends itself to the concept of cause and effect. Why was the enitrety of Judaism reviled for the act of one sub-group? Why has the story become so pervasive? Why did it not spark dialogue and understanding? What lessons canned be learned here?
If it is false, then allow people to present their evidence why it is false, just as Professor Toaff presented his evidence as to why it was a possibilty.
This is akin to saying “If the holocaust is true, let them prove it.” It is professor Toaff who has the burden of proving his theory(if it is his theory) since it goes against Church teaching, Jewish teaching, historical evidence, etc. Given that the book has been pulled from publication, that it was only out for a week and that the author himself has stated that the media compelely misrepresented his arguments, I’d say this is a nonissue. When the protagonist of an argument has nothing to say, there’s no argument.
Unfortunately that can’t be done. Because they injested christian blood in one of the most sacred of our rituals, they have all become immortal.I agree Valke, but people like that will find another reason anyway. Honestly, I had never heard of this and I do not feel that my life is any better for doing so.
I have a solution. Let’s dig up the Jews in question, convict them of it, and hang them so that justice may be served.
Will that work for me? Must I convert first? Can I drink my own?
This is why we are forbidden to sell matzah to christians. You already possess one of the key secret ingredients.
I should have paid more attention to the faith of the Jewish girls that I knew years ago. Wait, were they temptresses of an evil cult? You can say now that I am clear of them. Boy, a couple of them were knock-outs.
Great. Now I have to worry about agrivating the Muslim posters on here, the non-Catholic Christians, AND devine retrebution for liking a no filler, all beef hot dog. Boy, it is tough to be Ralph
Aw Valkie, I understand you need to maintain your eating habit and the thing you do with your foreskin, but these will not get you into heaven. You still need to have a pure heart and a generous deed for chances had been given but alas you kill them, for Jesus said:
