Christ The King

A Jewish banker mocked the Miraculous Medal as a joke. Ten minutes later he was in tears, begging for Baptism. Rome investigated under oath and declared it a true miracle. The true story of Alphonse Ratisbonne's conversion — and his mission to the Jews. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/selections-of-fr-marie-theodore-ratisbonnes-writings-on-the-jews/

Acts 15: When Judaizers demanded Gentile converts be circumcised and keep the Law of Moses, the Apostles said no. Peter called the Law a yoke; James refused it; the Holy Ghost and the council agreed. Scripture, Chrysostom and Aquinas explain why the ceremonial Law had to end. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

The Catholic Biblical Association elected its first Jewish president — a scholar who says she doesn't worship Jesus Christ as Lord. She openly admits she wants to remove anything anti-judaic from the Catholic lectionary. So what does "Catholic" even mean when this isn't required of its leader?

I had Fr. James Mawdsley on to discuss his new book, "Know Thy Enemy: Answering the Jewish Question". Please consider buying his book after watching this video. Links to his book are in the description of the video. God bless! Fr. Mawdsley's Rumble channel:   https://rumble.com/c/ScriptureandTraditionFrJM?e9s=src_v1_sa%2Csrc_v3_sa_o Fr.

Joshua Charles appeals to natural law and adverse possession to defend Israel's claim to the Holy Land. But Catholic tradition distinguishes civil existence from natural or divine title to disputed territory. Deuteronomy, Augustine, Innocent III, Aquinas, and the modern popes explain why.   https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

In 1666, Sabbatai Zevi was hailed across the Jewish world as the "messiah" — then converted to Islam to save his own life. His followers built a heresy to explain it away, one that later produced Jacob Frank. What Christ foretold about false Jewish messiahs, illustrated in history. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

Genesis 37: Joseph's own brothers sold him to Gentiles for silver — and the Fathers read him as a living prophecy of Christ, sold by His own, the Jews. A patristic reading of Joseph, Judah, and the elder brothers who had to bow to their savior before they could be fed. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

A thirteenth-century Dominican opened the Jewish Talmud itself to argue for Jesus Christ. Raymond Martini's Pugio Fidei mined rabbinic tradition for the Trinity, Daniel's Messianic timeline, and the end of any Old-Covenant title to the Land. Barcelona's method, expanded into an arsenal. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-the-jewish-question/selections-of-raymond-martinis-pugio-fidei-...

In 1263, in the Disputation of Barcelona, a Jewish convert, Friar Pablo (Paul) Christiani, used the Talmud itself to argue Christ was the promised Messiah before the King of Aragon. The principal rabbinic proofs Friar Paul used against the great Rabbi Nachmanides (Ramban) — and what happened after. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-the-jewish-question/adversus-judaeos-arguments-at-t...

Saint Thomas Aquinas taught that Jewish rites could be tolerated because "our very enemies bear witness to our faith." This video traces the witness doctrine from Saint Augustine through the Summa Theologica, forced conversion, Jewish civil status, and the future conversion of Israel. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-the-jewish-question/selections-of-st-thomas-aquinas-writings-on-t...

Cromwell had already executed his king before a rabbi ever petitioned him. How Manasseh ben Israel, the Whitehall Conference, and Jewish merchants disguised as Catholics reopened England to the Jews in 1655 — and the Glorious Revolution they helped finance in 1688. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

The Jewish priest passed by. The Levite passed by. Only Jesus Christ, revealed under the figure of Israel's despised Samaritan, could heal the dying man. Scripture, Origen, Ambrose, and Augustine on why the Old Covenant priesthood could diagnose sin but never cure it. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

Galatians 3:28-29: "Neither Jew nor Greek... all one in Christ." St. Paul's answer to the dual-covenant myth — Gentile believers ARE the seed of Abraham, heirs by faith, not bloodline. Scripture, Chrysostom, Aquinas, Lapide, the Council of Florence. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

In 1759, hundreds of Jews were baptized Catholic in Poland — then the Church itself arrested and investigated their leader over secret doctrines hidden beneath his Christian profession. The Frankist conversion, Aquinas's theology of insincere baptism, & what the Church's tribunal actually concluded. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

Before Luther, Catholic scholars studied Hebrew and Kabbalah under Jewish rabbis — for the Church, not against it. Then that same recovered scholarship later fed sola scriptura and the fracture of Christendom. Reuchlin, Pico, Cisneros, and the Complutensian Polyglot. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

The Jewish Talmud names four legal categories beyond male and female — six in all. Does ancient Jewish law really endorse gender fluidity? We examine the sources, the Orthodox Jewish rebuttal the internet leaves out, what the Church teaches on the two sexes, and the source of modern transgenderism. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

Jonah 4: an entire pagan city repents, and the prophet begs God to let him die. Scripture, St. Jerome, Chrysostom, and Christ's own "sign of Jonah" reveal why — the hidden Jewish Question — and what it means for Israel, the Jews, and the Gentiles under the New Covenant. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

Galatians 3:19–25: St. Paul says the Jewish Law was only a temporary tutor until Christ came. Scripture, Chrysostom, Augustine, Aquinas & the Council of Florence confirm the Old Law has ceased. Full patristic, scholastic, and magisterial analysis of "the pedagogue dismissed." https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

Luther built his German Bible on the Jewish Rabbis' own Hebrew canon. Henry VIII sent an envoy to Venice to recruit actual Jewish Rabbis to rule on his divorce. Two ruptures, one pattern: both went to the Synagogue; neither man submitted to that authority either — only to his own private judgment. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

The Novus Ordo Offertory prayers were modeled on the Jewish Berakoth prayers — and the Consilium's own vote to keep even the word "offer" failed. Only Pope Paul VI's personal intervention saved it. What happened to the old Roman Offertory, and why does it matter? Full sources. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

Pope St. Pius V's 1569 bull Hebraeorum Gens ordered nearly every Jew out of the Papal States within three months, on pain of enslavement. What did it actually say, and why? A scholarly look at the text, its theology, and its legacy in the Catholic tradition. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

The Rich Man and Lazarus, Luke 16:19–31: St. Augustine and Pope St. Gregory the Great read this as a covenant reversal between unbelieving Israel and the Gentiles — vindicated by the Jewish leadership's response to Christ's Resurrection. With scripture, Ambrose, Chrysostom, Tertullian, Lapide. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

Christ's parable of the seven demons was read by St. Jerome and St. Chrysostom as prophecy against unbelieving Israel, historically manifested at Jerusalem's fall. With Scripture, Jerome, Chrysostom, Aquinas, Lapide, Josephus, and Eusebius on Matthew 12:43-45. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/

The Mortara Affair. In 1858, papal police took a six-year-old Jewish boy from his Bologna home over a secret baptism. The modern world called it kidnapping. However, the boy later became a priest who defended his Catholic upbringing under Pope Pius IX, whom he called father. Full story here. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/selections-of-edgardo-mortaras-writings-o...

For centuries, the exalted Jewish Rabbi Maimonides' verdict on Jesus was omitted from many printed editions of his law code. We restore the uncensored text — his denial of the Virgin Birth — and show how a Catholic friar used Maimonides' own words to argue Christ is the Messiah. https://christtheking.info/catholic-resources-on-adversus-judaeos/
