Moshe ben Gerson ha-Kohen, who adopted the name Karl Anton upon his baptism, was the only Jewish convert to make an authentic academic career in the 18th century. In a span of just six years of work at the university in Helmstedt (Lower Saxony), he published sixteen books and received the post of full professor. He was also the most outstanding and closest disciple of Jonatan Eibeschütz. Actively and part of the time under his own name, as university professor he joined in the famous dispute over the amulets between Eibeschütz and Jacob Emden, siding naturally with his tutor, with whom he continued to cooperate intensively also after taking his baptism. In 1756, he ran away from his creditors, abandoning his Christian wife, pregnant and with two small children. According to unconfirmed reports, he returned to the Judaic faith.

Nostra Aetate, the Second Vatican Council´s declaration, together with other Catholic Church documents from the 1970s and 80s and the innovative attitudes of Pope John Paul II during his pontificate radically altered the catholic Church´s approach to the Jews and Judaism. This reform helped to bring to light certain taboos, concealed for centuries in the Vatican vaults from the view of both the non-Catholic world and the church congregations. One of the prohibited themes was associated with the profound, almost revolutionary reform, inspired by Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit Order, which occurred in the 16th century in reaction to the social and religious discrimination of Roman Catholics of Jewish descent in the Kingdom of Spain and thereby the whole Christian world of the day. The paper aims to discuss these events in relation to the works in the field of social history which attempt to critically interpret the historical facts and therefor to contribute to the development of the Christian-Jewish relationships.
