Examples
“In Cuba there was no Holy Office, and very few persons were burnt at the stake — none of them was accused of being a judaizer.”
“In the Edict of Expulsion, the Jews were blamed for teaching the conversos Jewish rites and laws and for setting an example and providing inspiration for the judaizer or crypto-Jew.”
“The problem with this approach was inherent to the very nature of crypto-Judaism: a successful judaizer would appear to be a devout Catholic while surreptitiously managing to observe Judaism as well.”
