I always wondered why Jews ,
Gypsies , African Americans were despised
because of their race. Did
they really have some DNA deficiencies or their customs and traditions put them
apart from the society they live. Why Darwinian evolution did not work out with
them and why a harmony couldn’t be established between two societies.
It is not really very easy
to understand the humiliation of the Jews during the whole history. Starting
from Egypt and Babylonia , than after in
Spain and Portugal during the inquisition period and expulsion from their land during
middle age and Polish and Russian pogroms, German genocide during the past
centuries are unforgettable stains in human history.
Suffrage activist Alice Stone
have written in his memoirs that in their Catholic education they learned that “Jews
and Dogs do not go to Heaven”. She was confused about this .
Rationally thinking , religions
must not interfere with human races but this had not happened all the time.
Especially Christianity with its Crusaders, Islam with its Jihadists do not
really have a good reputation in the history. Although Jesus and his disciples were
Jews , moreover that they believe to the Old Testament also , in the Christian world
Jews were treated as lower class community. Not all the rights were given, nor
allowed to work as the wish and move to wherever they want.
Recent terrorist activities
in the world made Islamophobia spreading in whole world and putting Islamic minorities’
existence at jeopardy in Christian predominant countries…
“PROMOTOR FIDEI” was a formal
post to investigate and to draw up a list of arguments against a nominee before
being blessed by the Church. Also known as “Advocatus Diaboli” from where we
use the idiom devil’s advocate to characterize a person who is against the general
opinion all the time and who is always trying to find out the negative sides of
the public orientation.
Today is the right time that
a “promotor fidei” appear again and declare the faulty sides of today's silent
society.
