Declaring that it was “hardly believable” that there should still be any necessity today to argue whether it is lawful to be an “implacable foe of Judea,” Farinacci said that “any true Christian does not need to consult pseudo-Catholic papers, or let himself be inspired by sermons, to decide on his stand in this purifying and redeeming action”
