I will cite a few comments made by Father Leonard Feeney which I believe says it all:<br /><br />"The Jews have taken over this city..." (Report by Grace Uberti from 14 September 1952, Feeney Collection, Archives, Archdiocese of Boston, Brighton, Mass).<br /><br />"I would rather be a bad Catholic than any Jew in existence." (op. cit, 19 October 1952).<br /><br />"Every Protestant hates the Jews. Harvard loathes Jews. That is why they got a new President - to keep the Jews away. I don't hate Jews for the reason he hates them. I hate them because they hate Jesus. They hate Jesus because they are Jews!" (op. cit 9 August 1953).<br /><br />"Those kikes are from Hillel House. I warn you of what the Jews are going to do to the Catholic City of Boston. In every city you see a new synagogue being built in a Christian country...If I sent Catholics over to heckle Rabbi Shubow, Fingold [Attorney General] would send the police in and have them in jail. But over here in front of the picture of the sacred heart of Mary these Jews are yelling every single filthy thing - every blasphemous word, on Sunday in a Catholic city." (op. cit 31 July 1955).<br /><br />And Fr. Feeney's idea of "dialog" also included attacks on Protestants and Catholics: <br /><br />"Archbishop Cushing is a heretic. I didn't say it behind his back; I said it to his face." (op. cit 28 September 1952).<br /><br />"Here you have me in a Catholic city being spit at and sneered at. I would like to profess my Catholic faith in a city gone to the dogs, thanks to the Jews, Protestants and Masons, and under a cowardly leader." (op. cit 16 November 1952).<br /><br />"Harvard boys are filthy. Too many Irish, too many Negroes, and too many Jews." (op. cit 8 March 1953).Paul Anthony Melansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455719838570381999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-88926589083346516882009-07-15T14:24:09.479-07:002009-07-15T14:24:09.479-07:00Please comment on the many accusations of anti-sem...Please comment on the many accusations of anti-semitism leveled against Father Feeney and SBC. I don't mean "doctrinal" points of disagreement with Jews; rather, I am referring to such statements as the following, which ran in the journal he edited, "The Point." <br /><br /> “Essential to the understanding of our chaotic times is the knowledge that the Jewish race constitutes a united anti-Christian bloc within Christian society, and is working for the overthrow of that society by every means at its disposal.” — April 1958.sgsnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510402737599469283noreply@blogger.com
