INTERVIEW | BY RON NETSKY | PAGE 6 | PHOTO BY MIKE HANLON

Unholy alliance Anthony Sciolino, a Rochester resident and retired New York State Family Court judge, has published “The Holocaust, The Church, And The Law Of Unintended Consequences: How Christian AntiJudaism Spawned Nazi Anti-Semitism.” The book paints a scathing picture of the Catholic Church’s anti-Jewish bias over many centuries. Its cover features a startling image of four Catholic priests raising their arms in the familiar “Heil Hitler” Nazi salute at a 1933 Catholic youth rally.

But Sciolino is no anti-Catholic activist. He has a master’s degree from St. Bernard’s School of Theology and Ministry and he is an ordained permanent deacon of the Roman Catholic Church, Diocese of Rochester. In a recent interview, Sciolino talked about the vilification of Jews in the New Testament; the encouragement of anti-Jewish bias by early theologians, church councils, and popes; Nazi laws against Jews derived from church tradition; and the Nazis’ use of torture techniques pioneered by the Holy Inquisition.
