Although Italian Catholic historian Giorgio Vecchio accepts the distinction between anti - Judaism and anti - Semitism, he points out that “the problem is also that of understanding how Catholic anti - Judaism may have contributed to the development of anti - Semitism. ”
Kuigi Itaalia katoliku ajaloolane Giorgio Vecchio tunnustab vahet antijudaismi ja antisemitismi vahel, juhib ta tähelepanu sellele, et ” probleeme tekib ka selle pinnal, kuidas keegi mõistab, milline osa võis katoliku antijudaismil olla antisemitismi väljakujunemisel ”.
