Barbara W. Tuchman Quote

Bull of September 1348 in which he said that Christians who imputed the pestilence to the Jews had been seduced by that liar, the Devil, and that the charge of well-poisoning and ensuing massacres were a horrible thing. He pointed out that by a mysterious decree of God the plague was afflicting all peoples, including Jews; that it raged in places where no Jews lived, and that elsewhere they were victims like everyone else; therefore the charge that they caused it was without plausibility. He urged the clergy to take Jews under their protection as he himself offered to do in Avignon, but his voice was hardly heard against local animus.
