===Sicut Judaeis=== In 1120 Calixtus II issued the papal bull ''[[Sicut Judaeis]]'' (Latin: "As the Jews") setting out the official position of the papacy regarding the treatment of Jews. It was prompted by the [[First Crusade]], during which over five thousand Jews were slaughtered in Europe. The bull was intended to protect Jews and echoed the position of [[Pope Gregory I]] that Jews were entitled to "enjoy their lawful liberty".<ref name="thurstonCE">{{cite web| url = http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14761a.htm| title = Thurston, Herbert.
