>>15381866> Adversus Judaeos (Greek Kata Ioudaion, "against the Jews" or "against the Judeans") are a series of fourth century homilies by John Chrysostom directed to members of the church of Antioch of his time, who continued to observe Jewish feasts and fasts. Critical of this, he cast Judaism and the synagogues in his city in a critical and negative light.> There are modern scholars who claim that an abuse of his preaching fed later Christian anti-Semitism, and some, such as Stephen Katz, go even further, saying it was an inspiration for pagan Nazi anti-semitism with its evil fruit of the programme to annihilate the Jewish race.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adversus_Judaeos> The Church Fathers identified Jews and Judaism with heresy and declared the people of Israel to be extra Deum (lat. "outside of God"). Saint Peter of Antioch referred to Christians that refused to worship religious images as having "Jewish minds".A history of Catholic antisemitism : the dark side of the church (1st Palgrave Macmillan pbk. ed.).

> The Church Father Tertullian (c. 155 – c. 240 AD) had a particularly intense personal dislike towards the Jews and argued that the Gentiles had been chosen by God to replace the Jews, because they were worthier and more honorable.https://books.google.com/books?id=cBAAitrH9vMC&pg=PA179&dq=marcion+and+anti+semitism&hl=en#v=onepage&q=Marcion&f=false> Patristic bishops of the patristic era such as Augustine argued that the Jews should be left alive and suffering as a perpetual reminder of their murder of Christ. Like his anti-Jewish teacher, Ambrose of Milan, he defined Jews as a special subset of those damned to hell.Michael, Robert (2011). A history of Catholic antisemitism : the dark side of the church
