Title: History of Papal Anti-Semitism
Review: This is a superb work that details, in a scholarly fashion, the history of Papal anti-Semitism. To say that the Vatican did not cause the Holocaust is certainly true, but almost two millenia of disparagement and open hatred did a great deal to prepare the ground. I myself wrote to a Cardinal of the Church here in California to ask for the current Church position on ritual murder. The reply was, "We have nothing further to say." So times change but opinions continue. The work is both a careful history and a warning that seemingly "harmless" prejudice and religious bigotry can lead to unwanted and horrendous circumstances.
