Talk:Pope Pius IX and Judaism

Chief Rabbi of the Israeli University in Rome dedicated a psalm to Pius IX
The psalm reads: "When an entire people is proud to conduct itself justly, You, Oh great God of the armies, grant it a king who is gentle, a prince who represents you worthily." The "king" Kazzan was referring to was Giovanni Maria Mastai Ferretti. Kazzan wrote: "He showed mercy to a degraded, exiled, dispersed, and persecuted people... Before the world, he removed it from the disdain of peoples, because you wanted its restoration, Oh Eternal One!" Kazzan's psalm ends with these words: "Let it be known in the remotest islands with how much glory Pius IX governs, how he administers justice with exactitude, how the whole world shines with splendour because of him."--Domics (talk) 09:25, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
