Apology for Calumny

 CALUMNY

Injuring another person's good name by lying. It is doubly sinful, in unjustly depriving another of his good name and in telling an untruth. Since calumny violates justice, it involves the duty of making reparation for the foreseen injury inflicted. Hence the calumniator must try, not only to repair the harm done to another's good name, but also to make up for any foreseen temporal loss that resulted from the calumny, for example, loss of employment or customers. (Etym. Latin calumnia, a false accusation, malicious charge; from calvi, to deceive.)

As a layman I have no authority or right to accuse another of heresy.  I have done so and I will search my posts and delete any in which I have committed such a mortal sin.

In the future, I will write about error vs correct doctrine.

I apologise. Forgive me.

Defining antisemitism US Dept of State

If a Catholic knows history he is liable to be slurred.

 Defining Antisemitism

The Department of State has used a working definition, along with examples, of antisemitism since 2010. On May 26, 2016, the 31 member states of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), of which the United States is a member, adopted a non-legally binding “working definition” of antisemitism at its plenary in Bucharest. This definition is consistent with and builds upon the information contained in the 2010 State Department definition. As a member of IHRA, the United States now uses this working definition and has encouraged other governments and international organizations to use it as well.

Bucharest, 26 May 2016

In the spirit of the Stockholm Declaration that states: “With humanity still scarred by …antisemitism and xenophobia the international community shares a solemn responsibility to fight those evils” the committee on Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial called the IHRA Plenary in Budapest 2015 to adopt the following working definition of antisemitism.

On 26 May 2016, the Plenary in Bucharest decided to:

Adopt the following non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism :

“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”

To guide IHRA in its work, the following examples may serve as illustrations:

Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic. Antisemitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity, and it is often used to blame Jews for “why things go wrong.” It is expressed in speech, writing, visual forms and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits.

Ahem. Our state dept says the word of God is antisemitic

! These 2

 13 Therefore, we also give thanks to God without ceasing: because, that when you had received of us the word of the hearing of God, you received it not as the word of men, but (as it is indeed) the word of God, who worketh in you that have believed.  14 For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they have from the Jews,  15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are adversaries to all men;

 16 Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end.  17 But we, brethren, being taken away from you for a short time, in sight, not in heart, have hastened the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.  18 For we would have come unto you, I Paul indeed, once and again: but Satan hath hindered us.  19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glory? Are not you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?  20 For you are our glory and joy.

[16] "To fill up their sins": That is, to fill up the measure of their sins, after which God's justice would punish them. For the wrath of God is come upon them to the end-- That is, to continue on them to the end.

Contemporary examples of antisemitism in public life, the media, schools, the workplace, and in the religious sphere could, taking into account the overall context, include, but are not limited to:

• Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.
• Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.

• Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.
• Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust
• Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.

• Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.
• Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
• Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
• Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.

The disciples receive the Holy Ghost. Peter's sermon to the people. The piety of the first converts.  1 And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place:  2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.  3 And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them:  4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak.  5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.  6 And when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue.  7 And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these, that speak, Galileans?  8 And how have we heard, every man our own tongue wherein we were born?  9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,  10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome,  11 Jews also, and proselytes, Cretes, and Arabians: we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.  12 And they were all astonished, and wondered, saying one to another: What meaneth this?  13 But others mocking, said: These men are full of new wine.  14 But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke to them: Ye men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and with your ears receive my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day:  16 But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel:  17 And it shall come to pass, in the last days, (saith the Lord,) I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.  18 And upon my servants indeed, and upon my handmaids will I pour out in those days of my spirit, and they shall prophesy.  19 And I will shew wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood and fire, and vapour of smoke.  20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and manifest day of the Lord come.  21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.  22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you, by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God did by him, in the midst of you, as you also know:  23 This same being delivered up, by the determinatecounsel and foreknowledge of God, you by the hands of wicked men have crucified and slain.  24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it. 25 For David saith concerning him: I foresaw the Lord before my face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved. [23] "By the determinate": God delivered up his Son; and his Son delivered up himself, for the love of us, and for the sake of our salvation; and so Christ's being delivered up was holy, and was God's own determination. But they who betrayed and crucified him, did wickedly, following therein their own malice and the instigation of the devil; not the will and determination of God, who was by no means the author of their wickedness; though he permitted it; because he could, and did draw out of it so great a good, viz., the salvation of man. [24] "Having loosed the sorrows": Having overcome the grievous pains of death and all the power of hell.  26 For this my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.  27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. 28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life: thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.  29 Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David; that he died, and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day.  30 Whereas therefore he was a prophet, and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne.  31 Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption.  32 This Jesus hath God raised again, whereof all we are witnesses.  33 Being exalted therefore by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this which you see and hear.  34 For David ascended not into heaven; but he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,  35 Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.  36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly, that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified.  37 Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren?  38 But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.  39 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.  40 And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation.  41 They therefore that received his word, were baptized; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.  42 And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles, and in the communication of the breaking of bread, and in prayers.  43 And fear came upon every soul: many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and there was great fear in all.  44 And all they that believed, were together, and had all things common.  45 Their possessions and goods they sold, and divided them to all, according as every one had need.  46 And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they took their meat with gladness and simplicity of heart;  47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord increased daily together such as should be saved. Blood Libel?  Nope.  History (1)  https://tinyurl.com/4vhtb6xr Blood libel? Nope.

I wonder if there will come a time when Jews apologise to Catholics? Hahahhahahhahahaha Just kidding.... His Blood be upon us. Some, not all Jews, are cursed. Acts 18:  1 After these things, departing from Athens, he came to Corinth. 2 And finding a certain Jew, named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with Priscilla his wife, (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome,) he came to them.  3 And because he was of the same trade, he remained with them, and wrought; (now they were tentmakers by trade.)  4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, bringing in the name of the Lord Jesus; and he persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.  5 And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was earnest in preaching, testifying to the Jews, that Jesus is the Christ.6 But they gainsaying and blaspheming, he shook his garments, and said to them: Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. Haydock Commentary; Ver. 6. Shaking his garments. See Matt. x. 14. Your blood be upon your own heads: that is, you are guilty of your own perdition: we have discharged our duty by preaching to you. Wi. Matt:27 22 Pilate saith to them: What shall I do then with Jesus that is called Christ? They say all: Let him be crucified.  23 The governor said to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying: Let him be crucified.  24 And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made; taking water washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man; look you to it.  25 And the whole people answering, said: His blood be upon us and our children. Haydock Commentary  Ver. 25. All the people answered: his blood be upon us, and upon our children which continues, saith S. Jerom, to this day. Then Pilate delivered to them Jesus to be crucified. Wi. — This blasphemous prayer continues to this day, and will continue a protracted curse upon the Jews, and upon their posterity. Origen. — Behold the insanity of the Jews! Their passion and pertinacious obstinacy will not suffer them to see and understand: they draw down curses upon themselves in these terrible imprecations: his blood be upon us and upon our children. Still the God of all mercies did not literally comply with their impious prayer. For, of these children he selected some for himself; amongst the rest even Paul, and many thousands who were converted at Jerusalem. S. Chrys. It sure took a long time yo notice six million jews dead https://tinyurl.com/2p9w9uuy “The Bolshevik holocaust started 20 years earlier than the Nazi Holocaust, intensified during WWII (while we Americans were allied with them!), and didn't end until 42 years after Germany surrendered. It dwarfed the Nazi Holocaust in every category of atrocity and murdered eleven times as many people. In fact, by the time Hitler even came to power in Germany, the Bolsheviks had already murdered 20 million Russian Christians. Now, where is the museum in America that memorializes that mass murder and teaches those facts to Americans?   Craig Nelson https://akacatholic.com/akacatholic-podcast-the-zionist-deception/ https://akacatholic.com/why-is-ewtn-telling-zionist-lies/ https://akacatholic.com/a-catholic-view-of-israel-and-the-jews/
