July 6: Clement VI and the Black Plague, Jewish Currents.
Scholarship & press
Pope Clement VI issued a Papal Bull from Avignon, France, on this date in 1348 defending the Jews against accusations that they were responsible for the Black Plague that was sweeping across Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
It cannot be true that the Jews, by such a heinous crime, are the cause or occasion of the plague, because through many parts of the world the same plague, by the hidden judgment of God, has afflicted and afflicts the Jews themselves and many other races who have never lived alongside them.
