About this page

This document is a brief letter from Pope Alexander II to Prince Landolfo of Benevento, dated 1065. The purpose of the letter is to dissuade the prince from persecuting Jews or forcing them to baptism. While acknowledging that the prince's noble intention to lead Jews to Christianity stems from piety, Alexander II warns that such zeal may be misguided. He emphasizes that Jesus Christ did not compel anyone to follow Him through violence but rather encouraged them with humility, respecting individual free will. The letter also references a teaching from Blessed Gregory, prohibiting the coercion of Jews into faith.
