rexe at 12:51am on 16/10/2003Yup, this is ONE of the things left undone. Now it's done!
Unfortunately I was trying to work on it while watching the two biggest sports events on TV.
Red Sox won! Cubs lost *tear* Stupid Marlins. My father and I both agree if the Yankees win tommorow we won't watch the World Series.
Someone explain to me why Yankee fans tend to be arrogant? My father noticed it first long ago. I've noticed it to. Whats up with that?
“Persecution of the Jews”

Persecution is against the laws of humanity. That is what the Cardinal Henry Edward Manning infers in his speech "Persecution of the Jews." Manning addresses the persecution and anti-Semitism of Russian Jews in 1882. He uses a document and examples to try and convince the audience of the Mansion House to support his cause of stopping the atrocities in Russia.
"'That, in opinion of this meeting, the persecution and the outrages which the Jews in many parts of the Russian Dominion have for several months past suffered, are an offence to civilization to be deplored'" was a resolution made by the Earl of Shaftesbury towards the Czar of Russia. Manning explains that while he will not pretend to question the legislation of Russia it is to been understood that there are greater laws in effect. These laws are that of "humanity, and of God." If any of these laws are infringed upon then it is necessary that all Christian nations are to speak of such atrocities. The anti-Semitic movement in Germany caused concern to Manning. He feared that persecution of Jews, which was at the time rampant in Russia, could spread to other parts of the world. The Cardinal had read that the persecution and oppression of Jews in Russia was due to Jews being involved in illegal dealings, he believe that such accounts were fictitious. Even if such accounts proved to be true, Manning had wondered if they were under penal laws. If they were under penal laws then weren't there other ways to degrade men? Continuing with his argument, the cardinal wondered why such actions were not being taken upon the rest of the Jews of Europe, the Jews of England included.
Manning had come to possess official documents from General Ignatieff, the Russian Minister of the Interior, which explains Russian law as it regards to Jews. The documents do not talk about the Jewish persecution by the Czar. Instead they discuss the "condition of the Christian inhabitants of the southern provinces." Going further into the document Manning tells the points it brings up concerning the Jews. One point is that the cause of the "movements and the riots" is a commercial one. Another point is that because of the Jew's conduct, the people form protests, which result in violence and robbery. The document from the Minister of the Interior goes on to list questions about the Jewish populace. These questions range from "What are the trades of the Jews which are injurious to the inhabitants of the place," to "the number of persons in the service of Jews." Manning asks, "what is the remedy for a population in this state?" He believed that the remedy would be the "supremacy of Christian law" and of a expediting justice to the evil doers. By referencing the Bible Manning is bale to bridge a gap between Jews and Christians. He is able to conjure sympathy by explaining the New Testament that Christians refers to rests upon the old testament of the Jews.
Henry Edward Manning wanted to stop the atrocities going on in Russia. The most effective way of getting other Christians to understand him was the link between the Old Testament and the New Testament. If Christians understood that without the Jews there would have been no Christians they might have been more of an outcry of support for Manning's cause. Manning had hoped that instead of people talking more about the persecution of the Jews in Russia, that they would take an active part in stopping the oppression. The Cardinal was able to support his arguments of helping the Jews with facts and documents, which only helped to convince others to go out and do something.
