Jewish Extremists Want to Dictate Policies of Catholic Church
by Jeff Davis
Jewish extremists have found an old bugaboo to rant and rave about: the Catholic Church.
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports: “Some Jewish groups voiced concern Friday that the Vatican might be calling into question more than 40 years of progress in Catholic-Jewish relations by reaching out to a group of breakaway traditionalist Catholics that includes a Holocaust-denying bishop. The Vatican has been working for years to bring the breakaway Society of St. Pius X back into its fold, and this week told its members they must accept some core church teachings if they want to be fully reintegrated into the church. But the Holy See said some expressions contained in documents from the Second Vatican Council could be left open for legitimate discussion.”
“The 1962-65 Vatican II meetings brought modernizing reforms to the Catholic Church, including outreach to Jews and introduction of the Mass in the vernacular rather than Latin. The Swiss-based Society of St. Pius X was formed in 1969, opposed to many of Vatican II’s reforms.”
In other words, they still wanted to be actual Roman Catholics and not Father Trendy. Could other issues have bothered this break-away group such as the decision to accept so-called “celibate homosexuals” into the priesthood, which undeniably has contributed to a plague of alter boy molestations?
Haaretz: “The Vatican refused to say which core teachings the society must accept to be reintegrated, and which elements of Vatican II documents could be left open for discussion.”
I wonder if it included Pope Benedict’s assertion of about 18 months ago that the Holocaust was henceforth a Roman Catholic Article of Faith? I suppose it would have to be an article of faith because to question even slightest aspect of the Holocaust is now illegal in much of the world and can land the doubter in prison. I wonder where the Holocaust is in the scripture of the Christian Church?
Back to Haaretz: “A key Vatican II document, Nostra Aetate, revolutionized the Catholic Church’s relations with Jews by declaring that Christ’s crucifixion couldn’t be attributed to Jews as a whole.” That is true, one certainly can not blame all Jews for what Jewish leaders did to Christ, but here again, there is a double standard. It is perfectly acceptable for Jewish journalists in their Jewish-owned newspapers to pine about German guilt and make the German nation as a whole pay for real and alleged crimes against Jews, in spite of the fact that 99.9 per cent of Germans had no part in such events.
The uncertainty over what is being required of the society provoked unease among some Jewish groups, which issued veiled warnings Friday about the possible impact on Vatican-Jewish relations were Nostra Aetate and other Vatican II teachings to be now considered ripe for discussion. Abraham Foxman, the Anti-Defamation League’s U.S. director, said he was confident that Pope Benedict XVI would require the society to accept the church’s positive teachings about Jews before being fully reconciled with the church.”
Why let a “little” thing like the crucifixion or the teaching of Christ get in the way of Jewish-Catholic relations?
Jesus Christ referred to the Jews in John 8:44 as “children of satan.” In Revelations 2:9, an angel of God calls the Jews “a synagogue of satan” and in the Parable of the Vineyard, Jesus describes evil tenants (the Jews), who can’t get along with the landlord (God) and who murder the landlord’s son (Jesus).
The truth is that the Jewish Talmud, the very core of Judaism claims that they were so the sole murderers of Christ and that the Romans had nothing to do with it! It further claims that Jewish sorcerers have conjured up Jesus from the dead and are boiling him in human excrement for all of eternity.
When Jews demand that Catholics or any Christians change their doctrine or views, why is there not a demand that Jews expunge hateful writings against Jesus Christ and his message of love and reconciliation?
