Kurzfassung:
Contends that conservative forces in the Vatican have attempted to counter the progressive aspects of the Vatican document "We Remember" (1998), building on the document's attempt to diminish the Church's responsibility for the Holocaust by espousing a false dichotomy between anti-Judaism (to which the Vatican admitted guilt) and antisemitism (alleged to be Nazi and pagan). The Vatican-approved campaign against Kertzer's "The Popes against the Jews" (2001) illustrates a trend toward claiming that the Church was not antisemitic, while at the same time using antisemitic arguments to justify the Church's anti-Judaism. Cites proofs of the Church's modern economic and social, as well as religious, antisemitism. Criticizes the article by Giovanni Sale, "Antigiudaismo o antisemitismo?" which appeared in "La Civilta Cattolica" 3647 (2002). Kertzer admits that he was naive in thinking that his book might help encourage anti-antisemitism in the Catholic Church.
