Jews could not be regarded as heathens, since they held a part of the truth, indeed that part of the truth which "proved" Christianity. Therefore their continued existence was desira- ble as a proof of the true faith. On the other hand, by their obstinate refusal to accept the full truth, they kept themselves outside the pale and were thus infidels, though not heretics, since they had never accept...ed Christianity and there- fore had not "chosen" their own creed, which had come to them by birth. Now it was the 119 JEWISH CONTRIBUTIONS TO CIVILIZATION policy of the Catholic Church to contend that heretics and infidels were "perpetui inlmici.
