The essay from
La Civiltà Cattolica, Series XIV, Vol. VII, Fascicule 961, 23 October 1890 details what they refer to as "The Jewish Question", in three parts. The cause, the effects and the remedy. After laying out ample evidence of Hebrew malfeasance toward the accommodating populations in the countries wherein they reside in part one, demonstrating the pernicious effect upon said population these predations have wrought in part two, the essay turns to remedies for the situation in part three. Under the subheading "A Just War?" we read:
So, in Germany, Austria and France, there is a school of thought which advances a remedy for liberation from the Jewish plague, that, per se, would be the most radical of all, but that wouldn't conform to the Christian spirit and whose realization would be impossible at present.
So, as early as at least 1890 we find that there is discussion of a remedy that the author of this essay in an Italian Catholic Journal feels would be impossible to realize. And what is this proposed solution to "The Jewish Question"?
After proving with hundreds of facts and documents that, in general, the Hebrews are a plague on Christian society, and a scourge on the Church of Jesus Christ, they demonstrate that the right of making war against them, as public enemies, is manifest. But since it doesn't beseem to resort to bloodshed, they restrict things which should be done to two points: That the Jew return what he has stolen; that he be banished from our territory afterwards. Through confiscation of his property and through exile the great evil done by him to the countries that have given him legal equality is to be recompensed and his pernicious ungratefulness towards their culture is to be punished.
Return what he has stolen and be banished! Where have I heard that before?
