Summary
Catholic Answers Live addresses the resurgence of anti-Semitism by defining what it truly means, clarifying misunderstood language like “perfidious,” and explaining the Catholic Church’s authoritative teaching on the Jewish people. Cy Kellett and Trent Horn also examine the biblical phrase “May his blood be upon us” in its proper theological and historical context, showing why it cannot be used to justify hatred, and they explore how political instability and social unrest often fuel anti-Jewish hostility in the modern world.
