Googe AI: King Louis IX of France (St. Louis) indeed authorized the Disputation of Paris in 1240 and the subsequent mass burning of the Babylonian Talmud in 1242. Urged by Pope Gregory IX and a Jewish convert to Christianity named Nicholas Donin, he viewed the texts as blasphemous.Historical records and debates surrounding the Disputation of Paris highlight several important dynamics of this period:The Disputation (1240): King Louis IX convened a tribunal where a Jewish apostate, Nicholas Donin, pressed 35 charges against the Talmud, claiming it contained insults to Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and Christianity. Four prominent French rabbis, including Rabbi Jehiel of Paris, defended the texts, arguing that the quotes were taken out of context or misattributed.The Condemnation: Bound by the King's strict rules, the rabbis were ultimately unable to prevent a guilty verdict. In June 1242, 24 cartloads containing thousands of irreplaceable, handwritten volumes of the Talmud were publicly burned in Paris.Historical Impact: The burnings were a devastating blow to Jewish scholarship in France. However, the event also spurred complex theological exchanges in the 13th century and initiated a shift in Church policy from outright book destruction to rigorous censorship in later years.

Catholic Monitor commenter: Unknown commented on "Raymond Ibrahim’s Book "Defenders of the West" when "Christendom Learned to Fight Fire with Fire": "The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam, chronicles the lives of eight great Crusaders who defended Christians against Islamic extermination, savagery, occupation, and slavery"" 25 mins ago To describe the pathological killer Prince Vlad as a Christian hero or crusader is basically a lie and even a blasphemy. He murdered thousands of his own people as well as terrorizing the Moslem Turks. A Christian should not sink to the level of barbarity of his enemy. Vlad was not very interested in Christianity as he was in his own power both in Wallachia and vis a vis the Turks. It was not without good reason that Bram Stoker used material about him as a foundation for Count Dracula. St. Louis of France was a Christian hero-but what Ibrahim and his supporters will not tell you was that he was a fierce critic of the Babylonian Talmud, for its blasphemies, lies, and insults as to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary and Christianity.

Francis vs. Church Fathers on: Who Is the Good Samaritan? PIERRE MANENT DECEMBER 16, 2020

https://firstthings.com/who-is-the-good-samaritan/   Who Is the Good Samaritan? PIERRE MANENT   DECEMBER 16, 2020 SHARE ARTICLE D espite the collapse or erasure of Christian references in Europe, contemporary language has retained a certain number of expressions that everyone still understands, at least to some extent. I believe there is no one who doesn’t know (or at least intuit) that “the Good Samaritan” is someone who voluntarily aids someone who needs help, with this additional note: that he agrees to depart from his path, or to leave what he was doing, in order to care for someone unfortunate, when nothing obliges him to do so. It is therefore quite natural that Pope Francis gives the parable of the Good Samaritan a place of honor in his recent encyclical on fraternity and social friendship,  Fratelli Tutti . nHere, therefore, is the text from St. Luke’s Gospel that opens the second chapter of the encyclical, a chapter entitled “A stranger on the road”: Just th...

INTERPRETATIONS OF THE CONTROVERSY OVER THE CONQUEST OF AMERICA1: Other authors, such as Villey, on the other hand, claim that the Spanish betrayed the teaching of St Thomas by attributing subjective rights to the American Indians, in fact assuming, despite their intentions, the doctrine of the theologi moderni or juniors who were heirs to the Ockhamist tradition.120 The thesis I'm going to defend is that our notion of the law has the defect of being itself a foreign body, and is the product of the infiltration into law of a Theology, that this infiltration has unfortunately taken place in modern times and that the Spanish scholasticism is largely responsible for this happening121 .

  Fernando Play Venue :   Theater at Catholic High School or University. Curtain opens.   NARRATOR addresses theater audience. NARRATOR:   Understand we have students from Social Studies and Religion classes in the audience today.  NARRATOR:   Good.  Then I shall begin with a question?  In the reconquest of Spain.  Can you name the person or persons who drove the Moors out of Spain. AUDIENCE:  Chorus - Ferdinand & Isabella, 1492.  Any more questions. (Laughter) NARRATOR:  True. , but only one Kingdom--Granada.  Who drove the Moors out of the vast majority of Spain 200 years before Ferdinand & Isabella?  Who recaptured almost all of Spain and  several major cities including the 2 most important supposedly unconquerable Moorish strongholds Cordoba  and Seville?  If you don't know, that's OK. Very few students or even teachers do. His name was Fernado, a youth of 18 years of age. He would...
