Abstract

The Jews and Italy

J. W. M. | July 30, 1891 issue

add to cart   close window

Between a Catholic and a Jew, in Italy, there is no distinction. Jews are as patriotic as Christians; they fill every office of the State, are ministers of the crown, prefect; mayors, generally in the army, conscripts with the colors. All attempts to convert the Jews to Catholicism in Italy fail utterly. Intermarriages between Jews and Christians are not infrequent, now that civil marriage is obligatory and the religious ceremony optional and of no legal effect. In short, there is no distinction of any sort visible in the country.
