It highlights how figures such as the Irish priest Denis Fahey and French political thinker Charles Maurras adapted and propagated anti-Semitic conspiracy theories that portrayed Jews as inherently evil and responsible for societal corruption, often intertwining these views with political movements like Action Française. The article further explores the complex relationship between Catholic modernism—a theological movement that reinterpreted traditional doctrines—and anti-Semitism, noting how political and intellectual conflicts in the 19th and 20th centuries shaped Catholic responses to modernity and anti-Semitism. It concludes that contemporary Catholic anti-Semitism stems from a lineage of secular and pagan hostility rather than authentic Catholic teaching, with significant consequences for the Church’s history and theology. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of First Things: A Monthly Journal of Religion & Public Life is the property of Institute of Religion & Public Life and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
