- I once looked up Saints (Roman Catholic kind) who were anti-Semitic.
- All I can remember now are
-
- 1) St. John Chrysostom(Sp?)- Known and Sainted for his oratorical
- powers. In his spare time when he wasn't preaching Christianity he
- whipped up anti-Jewish riots
-
- 2) St. Juan Irbela(spelling again?)- of Spain. A bishop who had lots
- to do with kicking the Jews out of Spain.
-
- The machinery for declaring/deciding sainthood is very complex with
- a "devil's advocate" whose job it is to dig up all the dirt on the
- proposed saint. Apparently murderous anit-semitic leanings are/were
- not considered "dirt" by the Church.
