Article Reads like a historical essay
[edit ]This article is in serious need of editing by someone knowledgeable on the subject as currently it a) reads like a historical essay b) lacks adequate sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barbicanf (talk • contribs) 10:24, 7 March 2019 (UTC) [reply ]
perpetua servitus iudaeorum - oddly missing from this page, and others
[edit ]Can I add mention of "perpetua servitus iudaeorum"? It is odd- there is no mention of the word "Jew" at all in this article. I guess the information has been swept under the page on "Pope Gregory IX and Judaism", and the the page on Old Greg IX himself. That page mentions mentions that "in the 1234 Decretals, he invested the doctrine of perpetua servitus iudaeorum – perpetual servitude of the Jews – with the force of canonical law. According to this, the followers of the Talmud would have to remain in a condition of political servitude until Judgment Day. The doctrine then found its way into the doctrine of servitus camerae imperialis.... promulgated by Frederick II. The Jews were thus suppressed from having direct influence over the political process and the life of Christian states into the 19th century and the rise of liberalism." Astonishingly, Pope Greg IX is supposed to have been one of the nicer Popes, towards the Jews at least, in comparison with the others of his era.
The Papal Pornocracy had just drawn to a close, though (that was also called the Saeculum obscurum, or "Rule of the Harlots") - so I suppose it shouldn't surprise us so much. Still, the "perpetua servitus iudaeorum" seems sort of like a big deal. At least important enough to be mentioned, and maybe even enough to have its own stub. There are probably more frivolous things that have their own page on this site, I think. If I'm wrong, let me know.
