cartholic jeopardy
Some of the most depraved customs
of the Saturnalia carnival were
intentionally revived by the Catholic
Church in 1466 when Pope Paul II,
for the amusement of his Roman
citizens, forced Jews to race naked
through the streets of the city. An
eyewitness account reports, “Before
they were to run, the Jews were
richly fed, so as to make the race
more difficult for them and at the
same time more amusing for
spectators. They ran… amid Rome’s
taunting shrieks and peals of
laughter, while the Holy Father stood
upon a richly ornamented balcony
and laughed heartily.” [5]
