On the Jews

In response to the latest media craze over the supposed "anti-Semitism" of His Excellency, Monsignor Williamson, I have collected some quotes to display that if he is accused of being a "anti-Semite" so must the entire Catholic Church!
------

"For all the House of Israel are are a hard forehead and an obstinate heart"~the Holy Prophet Ezechiel 3:7

"They gave Me gall for My food, and in My thirst they gave Me vinegar to drink. Let their eyes be darkened, and their backs bend down always. Pour out Thy indignation upon them: and let Thy wrathful anger take hold of them. Lest their habitation be made desolate, and let there be no One to dwell in their tabernacles, because they have persecuted Him Whom Thou has smitten and have added to the grief of My wounds. Add Thou iniquity upon their iniquity: and let them not come into Thy justice. Let them be blotted out of the Book of the Living, and with the Just let them not be written."~Psalm 68:22-29

"And again the Lord said to Moses: See that this people is stiffnecked: Let me alone, that my wrath may be kindled against them, and that I may destroy them, and I will make of thee a great nation." ~Exodus 32:9,10

"What is your iniquity, O daughter of Jacob, that your chastisement is so severe? You have dishonored the King and the King's Son, you shameless one, you harlot!"~Saint Ephrem

"Ungrateful for favors and forgetful of benefits, the Jews return insult for kindness and impious contempt for goodness. They ought to know the yoke of perpetual enslavement because of their guilt. See to it that the perfidious Jews never in the future grow insolent, but that in servile fear they always suffer publicly the shame of their sin."~Pope Gregory IX

"Crucifiers of Christ ought to be held in continual subjection."~Pope Innocent III

"It would be licit, according to custom, to hold the Jews in perpetual servitude because of their crime."~The Angelic Doctor, Saint Thomas Aquinas

"Thou shalt eat bread and cover it with the dung that cometh out of a man. Thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread all filthy among the nations wither I will cast them out."~the Holy Prophet Ezechiel 4:12, 13

"The Jews, who both killed Lord Jesus and the prophets, and have persecuted us, do not please God, and are adversaries to all men, prohibiting us from speaking to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sin always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end."~The Epistle of Holy Apostle Paul to the Thessalonians 2:14-16

"As for My enemies, who would not have Me rule over them, bring them thither and kill them before Me."~The Holy Gospel according to Saint Luke 19:27

"One who dies a Jew will be dammed!"~Saint Vincent Ferrer

"The Jews are cursed and covered with malediction as with a cloak. The curse has penetrated them like water in their bowels and oil in their bones. They are cursed in the city and cursed in the country, cursed in their coming in and cursed in their going out. Cursed are the fruits of their loins, of their lands, of their flocks; cursed are their cellars, their granaries, their shops, their food, and the crumbs off their tables."~Saint Agobard

"The synagogue is a home of unbelief, a house of impiety, a receptacle of foolishness. If it be objected that I did not set fire to the synagogue on fire, I answer: it began to be burned by the judgment of God, and my work came to an end. And if the very truth were asked, it was I who was the more lax for not expecting that it would be punished."~Saint Ambrose

"O Jewish hearts, harder than rocks! "~Saint Ambrose
