Title: Berkoff:The Catholic Church must apologise to Jews for its sins
Post by: Iain Fisher on September 10, 2022, 10:20:49 PM
An article by Steven in The Jewish Chronicle, 8 Sept 2022.

"As heartfelt public apologies are made for the crimes of slavery, it would be very welcome if the Catholic Church said sorry for the hideous atrocities perpetrated against the Jews".

We actually get rid of blood. The idea that Jews are obsessed with it was a projection of their own narrow-minded interpretation… In the following century, having milked the Jews for years, Edward I expelled them. And it was in England, of course, where Jews first had to suffer the ignominy of wearing a badge of identification”.
