Detailed
Description |
|
Pamphlet by the Church gloating on the success of converting the Jewish schoolteacher, Joseph Levi, to Catholicism. Whether this conversion was voluntary will remain unsolved as Jews have a long history of ferocious persecutions and systematic humiliations which they endured for their religion. Crossovers were usually the result of these pressures or the financial stability offered by the Church to the poor with large families. Rarely was the conversion based on theology - and many times the apostate reverted to Judaism when the pressures eased. |
