i just want to say:

this blog loves and supports jewish people.

this blog does NOT conflate the israeli government, or the atrocities it commits, with jewish people.

this blog is disgusted with those who use or express antisemitism.

this blog knows that if someone needs to invoke antisemitism, they do not actually care about helping palestine or the palestinian people.

that’s literally it. like, that’s the entire religion.

such a strange coincidence that a man gets a religious revelation about how white christians have a historic claim to north america right around the time the american colonies were pushing westward.

such a strange coincidence that this revelation also claimed that dark skin was a sign of evil, and that only conversion would save those with dark skin.

hello!

honestly, you’re totally right. i feel as if there’s so much antisemitism within catholicism that it bleeds over into the ex-catholic community. lots of ex-caths refuse to fully deconstruct the understanding of judaism they were taught. the same is true for islam and hinduism. a ton of ex-caths only have an understanding of these religions from a catholic perspective.

if the church you were raised in has a long history of antisemitism within its past doctrine, you should probably reevaluate how you view judaism (and what you actually know about judaism) once you leave that church.

hello! “traditional catholic” is a term that is usually used to refer to catholics who disregard the conclusions of vatican II. vatican II was an ecumenical council that took place in the 1960’s which served to modernize the church. it also made sure to state that jewish religious leaders weren’t responsible for jesus’ death (due to heavy antisemitism in the church at the time).

there are a number of reasons traditional catholics reject vatican II. some don’t like that languages other than latin can be used during mass. others don’t like that the catholic church no longer officially advocates for the suppression of other religions. there are also some who reject vatican II because they’re just antisemitic.

overall, they’re unpleasant assholes.

that being said, progressive catholics can interact with my posts as long as they do so respectfully and follow the DNI. i often have catholics from time to time reblogging and commenting on my posts, mainly the bible theory ones :)
