ha ha... don't think so
Maybe this will help straighten out your twisted mind.....
"I know that many people hold a high regard for the Jєωs and consider their way of life worthy of respect at the present time… This is why I am hurrying to pull up this fatal notion by the roots … A place where a whore stands on display is a whorehouse. What is more, the ѕуηαgσgυє is not only a whorehouse and a theater; it is also a den of thieves and a haunt of wild animals … not the cave of a wild animal merely, but of an unclean wild animal … When animals are unfit for work, they are marked for slaughter, and this is the very thing which the Jєωs have experienced. By making themselves unfit for work, they have become ready for slaughter. This is why Christ said: “as for my enemies, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them and slay them before me’ (St. Luke 19.27)."
St. John Chrysostom of Antioch
"Do not add to your sins by saying that the Covenant is both theirs and ours. Yes it is ours, but they lost it forever."
St. Barnabas
"It would be licit, according to custom, to hold Jєωs in perpetual servitude because of their crime."
St. Thomas Aquinas
"The Jєωs wander over the entire earth, their backs bent over and their eyes cast downward, forever calling to our minds the curse they carry with them."
St. Augustine
"One who dies a Jєω will be damned."
St. Vincent Ferrer
"Those of the seed of Abraham who live according to the Law of Moses and who do not believe in Christ before death shall not be saved; especially they who curse this very Christ in the ѕуηαgσgυєs; who curse everything by which they might obtain salvation and escape the vengeance of fire."
St. Justin
"Jєωs are cursed and covered with malediction. The curse has penetrated them like water in their bowels and oil in their bones. They are cursed in the city and cursed in the country, cursed in their coming in and cursed in their going out. Cursed are the fruits of their loins, of their lands, of their flocks; cursed are their cellars, their granaries, their shops, their food, the very crumbs off their tables!"
St. Agobard
"Jєωs are slayers of the Lord, murderers of the prophets, enemies and haters of God, adversaries of grace, enemies of their fathers’ faith, advocates of the devil, a brood of vipers, slanderers, scoffers, men of darkened minds, the leaven of Pharisees, a congregation of demons, sinners, wicked men, haters of goodness!"
St. Gregory of Nyssa
"Poor Jєωs! You invoked a dreadful curse upon your own heads; and that curse, miserable race, you carry upon you to this day, and to the End of Time you shall endure the chastisement of that innocent blood!"
St. Alphonsus Liguori
"If you call [the ѕуηαgσgυє] a brothel, a den of vice, the devil’s refuge, Satan’s fortress, a place to deprave the soul, an abyss of every conceivable disaster or whatever else you will, you are still saying less than it deserves."
St. Jerome
"Judaism, since Christ, is a corruption; indeed, Judas (Iscariot) is the image of the Jєωιѕн people: their understanding of Scripture is carnal; they bear the guilt for the death of the Savior, for through their fathers they have killed Christ. The Jєωs held Him; the Jєωs insulted Him; the Jєωs bound Him; they crowned Him with thorns; they scourged Him; they hanged Him upon a tree."
St. Augustine
Pope Gregory IX says: "Ungrateful for favors and forgetful of benefits, the Jєωs return insult for kindness and impious contempt for goodness. They ought to know the yoke of perpetual enslavement because of their guilt. See to it that the perfidious Jєωs never in the future grow insolent, but that they always suffer publicly the shame of their sin in servile fear." (Epistle to the Hierarchy of Germany)
Pope Innocent III says: "Crucifiers of Christ ought to be held in continual subjection."
Pope Innocent III says: "As wanderers, they (the Jєωs) must remain upon the earth until their faces are filled with shame and they seek the name of the Lord Jesus Christ."
Woe to the sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, a wicked seed, ungracious children. They have forsaken the Lord, they have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel, they have gone away backwards. And when you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away My eyes from you, saith the Lord; and when you multiply prayer, I will not hear, for your hands are full of blood. (Isaiah 1: 4,15)
The Jєωs, who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets and have persecuted us, do not please God, and they have become adversaries to all men, to fill up their sin always; for the wrath of God has come upon them to the end. (I Thessalonians 2:14-16)
Thou shalt eat bread and cover it with the dung that comes out of a man. Thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread all filthy among the nations wither I will cast them out, saith the Lord. (Ezechiel 4:12-13)
And on and on.......
