What about Jews who convert to the Catholic Faith?

They are no longer Jews, then.

But isn't there a blood and ethnicity component to being Jєωιѕн? I was wondering because I know some people who are Catholics that used to be Jews and I was curious as to whether they would still be considered Jєωιѕн or not.

We're talking about "Jєωιѕн" in the religious sense of the word. In that sense, they would not be Jєωιѕн.

No, Judaism is a religion. Hence why you have American Jews, Polish Jews, Russian Jews, etc.

Then why do they say that some people "look" Jєωιѕн? Hooked noses, etc. Jєωιѕн last names, that kind of thing.

That has not been my experience, I have to admit-none of the few Jews that I have known "looked Jєωιѕн" or had stereotypical "Jєωιѕн" last names. But I would have to think there is some kind of racial/ethnic component to Jєωιѕнness, right?

They're called Russian Jews, not Jєωιѕн Russians.

So you think that Jєωιѕнness is racial, then? It's not something that can be got rid of by becoming Catholic?

I heard a theory once that there is a kind of racial curse on Jews, because of the Deicide. Does anyone know any more about this? Would it be something that could be removed by conversion, if it exists?
