SAINT DOMINIC DE VAL, MARTYR
(Many popes have either directly or indirectly condemned the blood accusation, and no pope has ever sanctioned it (Strack, op. cit., 177 and v).)
Saint Dominic de Val (Dominicus Vallius) of Saragossa [Zaragoza] was, according to our sources, a boy who was killed by the Jews. He came from pious parents in that city, was kidnapped when he was seven, and martyred in A.D. 1250.
