Jews, Church, & Civilization III

INTRODUCTION

demagogues in clerical robes who promulgate hatred and demonization as core tenets.

Presumably, different morality rules apply to the Church.

351–352 CE: JEWISH REVOLT IV

a.k.a. War Against Gallus

A Jewish uprising in the Galilee under the command of a certain Patricius; provoked by local conflicts with the representatives of the Roman regime (of Emperor Constantius Gallus) rather than by a desire to overthrow the foreign yoke, the revolt broke out at Sepphoris and spread to other towns (Acre, Tiberias, Bet She’arim, and Lydda); it was crushed by an experienced commander Ursicinus, dispatched especially for this purpose. Ursinicus meets with Jewish sages, and he is mentioned, not unfavorably, in the Jerusalem Talmud. (A Historical Atlas of the Jewish People)

354 CE: (SAINT) AUGUSTINE

Augustine of Hippo. Pillar of Catholic Church. Frames the concept of “original sin.”

Canonized by Christian popular acclaim. In the Greek Orthodox Church he is called the Blessed Augustine, or St. Augustine the Blessed.

358 CE: HILLEL II

Creates a mathematical calendar for calculating the lunar months.

Hillel ha–Nassi, Hillel the Prince.
