““In 1555 the church had a new pope, Paul IV, and he was even more determined to end all heresies than earlier popes had been. Almost immediately, Paul issued a bull in which he stated: It is absurd and inconvenient that the Jews, who through their own fault were condemned by God to eternal slavery, can… show such ingratitude towards Christians and affront them by asking for their mercy. [They] have become so bold as to not only live amongst Christians but near their churches without any distinctive clothing.13 He therefore ordered that Jews in Rome and the Papal States wear special clothing and be confined to ghettos.””
