This was an interesting read. I grew up Catholic (Latin mass still the norm) and do not remember this sentiment in my house of hating Jews because they killed the Christ. My mother taught that it was from the Jewish blood that the Christ was chosen/formed for us on earth and were it not for that blood, we would never have known the god/man we call Jesus. I do not know if this was a heresy of sorts and that perhaps within the church, other leanings were prevalent. My brother and I were taught that the Jewish religion was the wellspring of the Christian religion and that we were to respect and hold sacred that bond and I do to this day. I am sure when the Christ comes again, it will be among the most devout among us where the most vehement denials of his godliness will arise...a threat to the status quo again met with hate, doubt and most likely violence. I hesitated to comment on this post, and I have broken my online rule about not embroiling myself in discussions of religion and politics...but it was a well-written and engaging line of thought about an ugliness that I frankly thought had faded from general opinion...you can see I don't get out that much...
If ever there were a concept developed and designed by men in positions of power and authority to control and dominate people it is the concept of God and Religion.
I've run into these "Traditionalist Catholics." It's true...they are pretty bizarre.
I met one such individual who was an Aspergian incel misogynist, who hurled vile cracks at women on DisQus. He said that the 13th Amendment should be overturned.
He also said he would get his wife from "Quiverfull," showing more ignorance, because "Quiverfull" is Protestant evangelist, and they hate Catholics.
After he got drunk one night, had an argument with his roommate, decided to clean his rifle, nearly shot a hole in the roommate, and did some time in clack for the aforementioned, offense, he returned to DisQus, much humbler, and apologized to those had had flamed and offended. None of us were in a mood to take it.
Later, he offered me his baseball card collection. I didn't even answer. The last thing I was going to give a man who had waged a flame war upon me was anything close to my mailing address.

I’ll take the KC kicker ant his worst over the campus progressives and their fellow travelers any day.
"Never done anything worth mentioning."
You still haven't, so your streak is intact.
Im sure that means something to someone somewhere
