Editing Antisemitism in Christianity (section)

===John Chrysostom===
[[John Chrysostom]] and other church fathers went further in their condemnation; the Catholic editor Paul Harkins wrote that [[St. John Chrysostom]]'s anti-Jewish theology "is no longer tenable{{nbsp}}[...] For these objectively unchristian acts, he cannot be excused, even if he is the product of his times." John Chrysostom held, as most Church Fathers did, that the sins of all Jews were communal and endless; to Chrysostom, his Jewish neighbors were the collective representation of all alleged crimes of all preexisting Jews. All Church Fathers applied the passages of the New Testament concerning the alleged advocation of the crucifixion of Christ to all Jews of their day, holding that the Jews were the ultimate evil. However, Chrysostom went so far as to say that because Jews rejected the [[God in Christianity|Christian God]] in human flesh, Christ, they therefore deserved to be killed:{{Disputed inline|John Chrysostom and Adversos Judaeos|date=March 2024}} "grew fit for slaughter." In citing the New Testament,<ref>{{bibleverse|Luke|19:27}}</ref> he claimed that Jesus was speaking about Jews when he said, "as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me."<ref name=RobertM11/>
