Why did Catholics continued preaching that "jews were the killers of Christ" even after the Holocaust?

Question

Didn't the Holocaust provided them with enough revenge for the death of the Christ?

Answer 1

Holocaust does not change the historical fact..Jews did the attempt to kill and if they get a chnace they will do it again as per their beliefs

Answer 2

Please cite the documents or provide links to these claims so that the rest of us can do proper research. Thank you.

The Catholic Church officially teaches:

When she delves into her own mystery, the Church, the People of God in the New Covenant, discovers her link with the Jewish People, "the first to hear the Word of God.

The Jewish faith, unlike other non-Christian religions, is already a response to God's revelation in the Old Covenant.

To the Jews "belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ"; "for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable."

Neither all Jews indiscriminately at that time, nor Jews today, can be charged with the crimes committed during the Passion of Jesus Christ. The Jews should not be spoken of as rejected or accursed as if this followed from Holy Scripture.

For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 597 and 839:

Answer 3

The National Socialists (Nazis) persecuted Jews, Gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, gays, Buddhists and probably a few other groups. One ridiculous idea about the Jews wouldn't account for the whole program. The church doctrine that lending money at interest was usury, and therefore a sin to Christians, leaving the Jews to become wealthy bankers and financiers, may have incited some resentment, though.

Answer 4

The Jews did have Christ killed.
The holocaust had nothing to do with it... and where do the Catholics figure in the equation at all?
The BIBLE is where we learn the conditions of Christs death.

I've never been a Catholic, thus my confusion perhaps.
And more than Jews were killed in the Holocaust though they died in greater numbers. Gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses and others were also targeted.

Answer 5

Don't generalize. I am not Catholic, but I can tell you that when I was, we were taught in Catholic school that that was NOT the case. Christ was killed by misguided people for political reasons, not by the Jews. We actually extensively studied the Holocaust, and not in an antisemitic way.

Answer 6

Um... how did the holocaust have any impact on the bible? It's like when I tell people that in John 8 Jesus denounces Jews that don't follow him as no longer being real Jews. I get thumbs down, no doubt because of what Hitler did, the holocausts, political correctness, etc... but how does that really change what Jesus said?

The sad fact is that "anti-Semitism" and the realization of Jesus relationship with the Jews (who denied him) have absolutely nothing in common. It's OK to make clear the fact that the Jews let Jesus down without being anti-semitic.

Hitler happened around 1,940 years after Jesus. It has nothing in common.

Answer 7

Every sensible Christian knows that Roman Catholicsm is not true Christianity. Catholics is an amalgamation of Paganism with a mixture of allegorized Bible translation ordered by the Pagan Emperor Constantine in about 300 A.D. That's why Catholics are full of superstitions and idolatry which will be totally destroyed in the "Day of the Lord" as foretold to us in advance by the Apsotle John in Revelation. (Revelation 13). The Anti-Trinity will wreck havoc during the second half of Tribulation. Anti-God the Father, Anti-God the Son, and Anti-God the Holy Spirit. The 4th beast is the lamb, Anti-God the Son. The only Bible interpreter is the Bible itself.

Answer 8

The Holocaust had nothing to do with Christ. And, yes, the Jews did crucify Jesus, read the Bible. The two events are not locked together.

Answer 9

If you actually read the bible, the Jews didn't kill Jesus, the Romans did. Of course, the Roman Catholic church doesn't want anyone to think of it that way, so it's blamed on the Jews, though they had no political power in that region.

Answer 10

The catholic church has been corrupted by the men that spin this falsehood, at one time they forbidden the reading of the word, why? because they don't want the people to be liberated by the truth of Christ Jesus! You must read it your self, start in John and you will see the error in false religions!start here;
