I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. - Christ Jesus

When asked: 'how many babies have you sniped?' Eastland Christopher Staveley replied: 'not enough'. Staveley is a British jewish doctor.

• Today, March 24th, marks 551 years since the death of Simon of Trent, a two-year-old child whose case became one of the most famous - and controversial - in Church history. • Trent, 1475. Little Simon disappears on Holy Thursday. His body is found on Easter Sunday in a water channel beneath the property of Samuel, the leader of the local Jewish community. The city erupts. • Under torture, 15 members of the Jewish community confessed to having murdered Simon to use his blood in Passover rituals - the classic "blood libel". All were burned at the stake. • The Bishop of Trent, Johannes Hinderbach, immediately promoted the cult of the "martyr." Rome hesitated: Pope Sixtus IV sent a commissioner to investigate and ordered the proceedings suspended. But popular pressure was immense. • In 1588, Sixtus V formally beatified Simon. The cult flourished for nearly five centuries: relics, annual processions, paintings, sermons. Trent celebrated him every year on March 24th. • On October 28, 1965 - the same day Paul VI promulgated Nostra Aetate, the conciliar declaration on relations with non-Christians - the Archbishop of Trent officially abolished the cult. The relics were removed and the body buried in an unknown location. • The suppression of the cult fits within the spirit of Vatican II, particularly the rejection of the collective charge of deicide against the Jewish people. Nostra Aetate marks a turning point in the Church's relationship with Judaism, and Simon's case was an uncomfortable symbol.
