Today's Show: HISTORY OF THE WORD HOLOCAUST
Chris discusses the history behind the use of the word "holocaust" ... a term found almost exclusively when describing the Nazi persecution of the Jews during World War II. But what was the word's meaning beforehand? And why is the word found only in the Douay Rheims Bible -- an English translation done by the Jesuit Order back in 1582? We discuss the history of the word used by popes in centuries past, as a term for slaughtering heretics who were seen as enemies of the Church of Rome. Was it just a coincidence that the word was chosen to describe the tragic events of the Nazi regime?
