Catholic Church toward Judaism and the Jews has
undergone a sea change. On the theological level,
the decisive event was the Second Vatican Council,
which in 1965 finally lifted the collective charge
of deicide against the Jewish people, reversing
the longstanding Augustinian view that the Jews
would eternally bear the mark of Cain. But of no
less importance has been the current Pope's
personal commitment to reconciliation. Since his
election in 19...

19 Th Century Economic And Political

The process of emancipation, and the period of
enlightenment which preceded it, was a painful and
traumatic experience for the Jewish people. The
steady, but uneven, progress from pariah to
citizen was achieved only in Western Europe and
involved the rejection and transformation of an
ancient way of life which had served the Jew well
in all his times of trouble. The enlightened
Jewish intellectuals viewed this change as not
only inevitable but absolutely necessary if the
Jews were to survive bot...

single religion, but as a group of similar
religions. It has also been pointed-out that
through all the trials and tribulations that
Judaism has suffered through, that there have been
common themes that have proven omni-pervasive. Any
institution with roots as ancient and varied the
religion of the Jews is bound to have a few
