Accusations of Jewish anti-Christianity

Throughout history, Jews have been accused of hating or conspiring against Christianity.^[1]^[2]

Examples

James Edwards

On February 20, 2007, American radio host James Edwards accused Jews of "hating Christianity" and "using pornography as a subversive tool against us".^[3]

Radical traditionalist Catholics

A minority of conservative Catholics, commonly called the radical traditionalist Catholics,^[4] share Luther's antisemitic views even though they disagree with him over theology. According to American civil rights group Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), radical traditionalist Catholics tend to hold these views:^[4]

Catholics cannot trust Jews
Jews are the "perpetual enemy" of Christ
Jews have "infiltrated" the Catholic Church to make changes for themselves
Jews are responsible for Jesus' death, and this broke their covenant with God

Radical traditionalist Catholics do not get along with the Vatican because they oppose the 1965 Vatican II reforms.^[4] As part of these reforms, Pope Paul VI said that the Jews were not responsible for Jesus's death:^[5]

What happened in His passion cannot be charged against all the Jews, without distinction, then alive, nor against the Jews of today.
