Nissim Black on Candace Owens
I sent that video ‘Defamation’ to my kids, to see what they made of it.
One of them came back that it was good, but ‘very, very old’. (It’s from 2009, I guess that makes it truly antique for my kids’ generation. It also explains why all those kids on the March of the Living weren’t covered in tattoos…)
But I digress.
So, my kid has been agonising over Candace Owens increasingly antisemitic rhetoric for a while, and yesterday, she sent me this video, by Nissim Black, who apparently now is doing a podcast with the ‘Moral Edge’ team.

I really like and respect Nissim, and he makes some powerful statements in the podcast.
I personally don’t agree with everything he’s saying, especially re: Trump and the Rebbe, but I guess he’s playing to his audience (and his backers…)
What was really interesting is the stuff about Owens ‘converting’ to a sect of Catholicism that doesn’t hold by the reforms that occurred under Vatican II, between 1962-1965.
HERE is the Wiki page, the bottom line about Vatican II is that Catholicism had a ‘teaching of contempt’ about the Jews from the times of Eusebius and Augustine.
I will do a proper post on all this soon, BH, but the bottom line is that Catholicism taught / teaches that the Church had ‘replaced’ the Jews, and the proof of this is that Jerusalem was destroyed, they say, because the Jews didn’t accept Yoshki.
(It’s ironic that 60 years after Rome turned ‘Catholic’, officially, it was destroyed by the Vandals…. but I digress.)
==
Once Rome went officially ‘Catholic’ under Constantine, they had a whole big discussion over the place of the Jews, and whether they should:
- Destroy them totally
- Kick them out of the Roman Empire
- Tolerate them, but with a ‘teaching of contempt’ aimed at totally debasing the Jews and stripping them of the civil rights they’d enjoyed in the Roman Empire for the last 500 years or so (which is not saying much…)
The Bishop Augustine, laughably described as ‘tolerant’ towards the Jews, because he didn’t advocate their death or removal, just their total and utter debasement in every other way, carried the day, and the ‘teaching of contempt’ became official policy of the Catholic Church towards the Jews.
==
If you are interested, there was a book written about this in 1966 by James Isaac, called:
1966 was the year after ‘Vatican II’, when the Catholic Church realised, finally, they had to modify their theology vis-a-vis the Jews, that was still teaching that the Jews today were responsible for killing Yoshki (aka ‘collective guilt’); that the Jews are irredeemable, religiously, ‘sons of Satan’, etc – and crucially, that the Jews would NEVER return to Israel, and especially not Jerusalem.
The Catholic Church had a real theological problem, when the Jews were restored to Eretz Yisrael, and to save face, religiously, they had to shift their doctrines to reflect the new reality, at least, for public consumption.
==
But not everyone in the Catholic Church went along with the reforms of Vatican II.
The group that didn’t, is broadly called the Sedevacants – which literally means, the ‘seat is empty’ – they don’t hold by the authority of the Popes from Vatican II on, and retain the Catholic church’s ‘teaching of contempt’ for the Jews.
You can read more about them HERE.
Of course, the Sedevacant movement has also schismed, and there is now:
Society of Saint Pius X
The Vice-President of Argentina, Victoria Villarruel is a member of this group. Maybe, someone should tell the ‘Israel-loving’ Javier Millei….
==
Then, there’s a bunch more ‘schisms’, including:
Society of Saint Pius V
==
Nissim is saying that Owens belongs to the first ‘Society of Saint Pius X’, or the SSPX, for short.
But here’s the thing, according to the Wiki page, the official Catholic Church itself, at least, under the last Pope Francis, another fantastic guy, doesn’t hold that the SSPX is actually a ‘schism’ after all:
Bishop Vitus Huonder said that Pope Francis personally told him that the SSPX is not in schism.
Or in other words, the doctrinal Jew-hatred of the Catholic Church is still in full effect, Vatican II was just a PR stunt, and the ‘teaching of contempt’ is still being aimed directly at Jews, and the ‘Jewish State’.
(The trouble is, our ‘Jewish State’, politically, is also not so Jewish, and was actually put together by Evangelical xtians who hold a ‘teaching of esteem’ for the Jews, but that’s not as great as it sounds, either. More on that another time.)
==
So, we aren’t really dealing with ‘antisemitism’ in the modern sense of the word.
We are dealing with good ol’ fashioned ‘hatred of Jews and Judaism’, that was put into Catholic Church law in the 4th century, and has been passed on, enlarged and expanded ever since.
Tell me again, what a fantastic religion xtianity is…
==
The one good thing is, that the different groups of xtians hate each other more than they hate the Jews, in many ways.
That’s for sure one of our big saving graces, that and the fact that the Muslims, for all their faults, didn’t try to exterminate us in quite the same way as the Catholics.
(The Fuehrer was a Catholic, btw, and was never kicked out of the Catholic church…. to this day.)
Tov, we’ll stop there.
I need to get on with doing a ‘xtian antisemitism for dummies’ few posts.
BH, soon.

PS: One secret society that Owens is probably not going to be focussing on anytime soon, is the BULLINGDON CLUB, that her husband, George Farmer, is / was a member of.
Snippet from Wiki:
In 2013, a new photograph emerged of club members flying by private jet to a hunting expedition in South Africa. Pictured in the photograph are Michael Marks, Cassius Clay, Nicholas Green, Timothy Aldersly, Charles Clegg and George Farmer – the son of the former treasurer of the Conservative Party Michael Farmer, Baron Farmer.
Other former members of the Bullingdon Club include British PMs David Cameron and Boris Johnson, former Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osbourne, and – shock and horror! – Nathaniel Rothschild, currently the 5th Baron de Rothschild.
It’s easy to keep banging on about the Jooooos, and to blame everything that’s wrong in the world on the Joooooos and the zionists….
No-one is claiming that every single Jew in the world is perfect, for our sins, we know that is not the case – especially, when it comes to the very small families that continue to rule the Jewish world, as the ‘puppets’ of the Evils in the non-Jewish world.
But most Jews are way more ‘good’ than ‘bad’.
And Torah-based authentic Judaism is the ONLY God-given religion in the world.
That’s the bottom line.
And the people who are hating the Jews and trying to destroy Torah Judaism – deep down, they know they know it.
They aren’t fighting the Jews, so much as fighting Hashem Himself.
And that’s how it’s been, for the last 3,334 years, since the Jews recieved the Torah on Mount Sinai.
Nissim,
Augustine (or any sort of “replacement theology”) is not responsible for later Roman Catholic pogroms, badges, or ghettos.
