Notes: See remarks concerning the neglected study of Hebrew within the Catholic Church, the Inquisition’s persecution of the Jews, and the rejection of Catholicism by Jews that extends to the present day. There is a discussion of the failure of seminaries to prepare missionaries in foreign languages, including Hebrew, to approach the Jews, gifted as they are in multiple languages (pp. 4-6, 13-14).
