  • "As a child of the Jєωιѕн people who, by the grace of God, for the past eleven years has also been a child of the Catholic Church, I dare to speak to the Father of Christianity about that which oppresses millions of Germans. For weeks we have seen deeds perpetrated in Germany which mock any sense of justice and humanity, not to mention love of neighbor. For years the leaders of National Socialism have been preaching hatred of the Jєωs. Now that they have seized the power of government and armed their followers . . . this seed of hatred has germinated. . . . But the responsibility must fall, after all, on those who brought them to this point and it also falls on those who keep silent in the face of such happenings.
            Everything that happened and continues to happen on a daily basis originates with a government that calls itself “Christian.” For weeks, not only Jєωs but also thousands of faithful Catholics in Germany, and, I believe, all over the world, have been waiting and hoping for the Church of Christ to raise its voice to put a stop to this abuse of Christ’s name. Isn’t the effort to destroy Jєωιѕн blood an abuse of the holiest humanity of our Savior, of the most blessed Virgin and the apostles? Is not all this diametrically opposed to the conduct of our Lord and Savior, who, even on the cross, still prayed for his persecutors…We all, who are faithful children of the Church and who see the conditions in Germany with open eyes, fear the worst for the prestige of the Church, if the silence continues any longer.
            At the feet of your Holiness, requesting your apostolic blessing,

    Dr. Edith Stein”

    This is an example of the "confusion of essences."

  • Good catch Caminus. I had brought it up last year that Edith Stein was a very questionable convert.
    Pray for me, always.

  • Even supposing this exaggerated literalism were true in the days when Christ and our Lady walked the earth (which I don't suppose at all, just for the sake of argument), it most certainly can't hold today since this so-called pure "Jєωιѕн blood" has been diluted to the point of meaninglessness due to the ages old Diaspora.
