It appears von Papen was not lying.
cuм Nimis Absurdum, Pope Paul IV, 1555
Some highlights....
As it is completely absurd and improper in the utmost that the Jєωs, who through their own fault were
condemned by God to eternal servitude, can under the pretext that pious Christians must accept them
and sustain their habitation, are so ungrateful to Christians, as, instead of thanks for gracious
treatment, they return contumely, and among themselves, instead of the slavery, which they deserve,
they manage to claim superiority: we, who newly learned that these very Jєωs have insolently invaded
our City Rome and a number of the Papal States, territories and domains their impudence increased
so much that they dare not only to live amongst the Christian people, but also in the vicinity of the
churches without any difference of dressing, and even that they rent houses in the main streets and
squares, buy and hold immovable property, engage maids, nurses and other Christian servants, and
commit other and numerous misdeeds with shame and contempt of the Christian name.
§ 1. Desiring firstly, as much as we can with God, to beneficially provide, by this. that will forever be in
force, we ordain that for the rest of time, in the City as well as in other states, territories and domains
of the Church of Rome itself, all Jєωs are to live in one and if there is not that capacity in two or three
or however many quarters may be enough; they should reside entirely side by side in designated
streets and be thoroughly separate from the residences of Christians, by our authority in the City and
by that of our representatives in other states, lands and domains noted above, and that there must be
only one entrance and exit from this quarter.
§ 2. Furthermore, in each and every state, territory and domain in which they are living, they will have
only one ѕуηαgσgυє, in its customary location, and they will construct no other new ones, nor can they
own buildings. Furthermore, all of their ѕуηαgσgυєs, besides the one allowed, are to be destroyed and
demolished. And the properties, which they currently own, they must sell to Christians within a period
of time to be determined by the magistrates themselves.
§ 3. Moreover, so that Jєωs should be distinguishable everywhere: men must wear a hat, women,
indeed, some other evident sign, yellow in color, (Sound Familiar?)that must not be concealed or covered by any
means, and must be tightly affixed; and furthermore, they can not be absolved or excused from the
obligation to wear the hat or other emblem of this type to any extent whatever and under any pretext
whatsoever of their rank or prominence or of their ability to tolerate this adversity, either by a
chamberlain of the Church, clerics of an Apostolic court, or their superiors, or by legates of the Holy
See or their immediate subordinates.
§ 7. And they may not presume in any way to play, eat or fraternize with Christians.
§ 8. And they cannot use other than Latin or Italian words in short-term account books that they hold
with Christians, and, if they should use them, such records would not be binding on Christians.
§ 10. And those among them who are physicians, even if summoned and inquired after, cannot attend
or take part in the care of Christians.
These are just some of the decrees by Paul IV. They are almost exactly what Hitler prescribed in dealing with the Jєωs.
What a pope!
