 St. Bartholomew's Day massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bartholomew's Day massacre (Massacre de la Saint-Barthélemy in French) was a wave of Catholic mob violence against the Huguenots (French Protestants), traditionally believed to have been instigated by Catherine de Medici, the mother of Charles IX.
The massacres marked a turning-point in the French Wars of Religion by radicalising the Huguenot faction.
Pope Gregory XIII's reaction was jubilant: all the bells of Rome pealed for a public day of thanksgiving, the guns of the Castel Sant'Angelo sounded a joyous salute, a special commemorative medal was struck to honour the occasion, and Gregory commissioned Giorgio Vasari to paint a mural depicting the Massacre, which is in the Vatican.

 Lecky: History of the Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe
It is equally impossible to examine the life of a Christian saint, or the painting of an early Christian artist, without perceiving that the dominant conception was self-abnegation and self-distrust.
In the earliest and purest days of the Church this was chiefly manifested in the devotional frame of mind which was habitual, and in the higher and more delicate moral perception that accompanied it.
The veneration of relics and the monastic system were introduced, and therefore innumerable miracles were attributed to the bones of saints or to the prayers of hermits, and were solemnly asserted by the most eminent of the Fathers.

The principal deity was Plato's 'Supreme Being', whose chief visible representative was the life-giving Sun, identified with Helios and Mithras in the mythologies of the day.
The special Christian day of the week, too, had long been called the "day of the Sun"....Later, when Christians began to read the Bible, they discovered these words of the prophet Malachi: "The sun of Righteousness shall rise, with healing in the wings." This, they thought, was surely a prediction of the coming of Christ.

 Reply to the Media Lynching of Abbe Pierre and Roger Garaudy
As to "the extermination," during his 10 years of absolute rule, four of which were over all of Europe, Hitler had all the time to realize it, and fortunately, despite all the indisputable massacres, the Jewish community, though decimated, remained in Europe among us.
Without denying the extent and the horror of massacres of Jews and other opponents (3.5 million Russian prisoners died in captivity said Bedarida in the same article of "Le Monde"), I reject this "Apartheid of the dead." Under the theological name of Holocaust, it makes the martyrdom of Jews irreducible to any other.
