_They have attacked the Catholic Church._ This is of special interest just now when Jewish agents are doing their utmost to arouse Catholic sentiment in their favor by circulating charges which these agents personally know to be false. THE DEARBORN INDEPENDENT has perfect confidence in the information which Catholic leaders may have on the Jewish Question. On this subject the Catholic priesthood is not misled. Examples of this attack are numerous. “Half of Christendom worships a Jewess,” is not a statement but a slur, flung by Jewish men who say in the ritual of morning prayer: “Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, _who hast not made me a woman_.” The Talmudists’ discussions of the Virgin Mother are often vile. The Christian festivals, whose preservation is due to the Catholic custom and conscience, are all attacked by Jews. _The American Israelite_, whose great prestige in American Jewry is due to its having been founded by Rabbi Isaac M. Wise, _opposed the establishment of Columbus Day_ and berated Governor Hughes for signing the law making it a holiday in New York. The act that established it deserved “the contempt of thinking men.” Why? Is not the discovery of America a memorable event? Yes, but Columbus was a Catholic! However, in recent months the Jews are proving him to have been a Jew, so we may expect some day to see Columbus Day insisted upon with Jewish rites. The _Catholic Columbian_ made editorial reference to the increasing Jewish influence on the American press, in these words: “Jewry is getting its grip on the news of this country as it is on Reuter’s and the Havas agency in Europe.”—A perfectly polite and true observation. But the Jewish editorial thunderer came back—“The _Columbian_, in its sneaking Jesuitical way, does not mention the fact that these (the Jewish) papers are the very cleanest in the country. The _Columbian_ cannot point to a single daily owned by one of its co-religionists that begins to compare with the above papers.” The sweet spirit here evidenced is very significant today when an appeal is being made to create a strong pro-Jewish Catholic sentiment. If there is in the world any extra-ecclesiastical undertaking by Catholics which has won the undivided approval of the Christian world as _the Passion Play of Oberammergau_ has done, the present writer does not know what it is. Yet in a volume entitled “_A Rabbi’s Impressions of the Oberammergau Passion Play_,” Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf, D.D., of Philadelphia, has stigmatized that notable production as reeking with falsehoods and vicious anti-Semitism. In the rabbi’s eyes, of course, it is, for to him the entire Christian tradition is a poisonous lie. The whole fabric of Christian truth, especially as it concerns the person of Christ, are “the hallucinations of emotional men and hysterical women.”
