Not a Jew[edit]

Obviously, a number of people are interested in making the Sachertorte kosher food (well, I don't know whether it's kosher, but there are numerous references to Franz Sacher as a Jew). I don't think its a good idea to refer to a persons religion, unless this person is a priest, rabbi, mullah, or strongly involved in religious stuff. In this case, I have removed the reference to being a jew, and replaced it with "Roman Catholic". Just for telling the truth, as the web (including Wikipedia) has numerous references saying he was a jew. Shalom, --Jean-Pierre Chaussette de Fromage (talk) 18:45, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this claim was re-inserted, with the even more indirect claim that Sacher was "born to a Jewish family". The footnote supporting this is to a blog, which in turn footnotes sources that give no good evidence for this claim. So unless there is better evidence for his Jewish background, and of its relevance to his life (was he persecuted by anti-Semites?), this claim doesn't belong here. --Macrakis (talk) 22:38, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
