    Vatican City – Jewish groups are voicing concern about the Vatican’s latest bid to reconcile with a group of breakaway traditionalist Catholics. The groups are calling for continued observance of the church’s official teachings about Judaism and other faiths.

    The Anti-Defamation League and others accuse the Society of St. Pius X, which includes a Holocaust-denying bishop, of promoting anti-Semitism.

    The Vatican told the society this week it must accept core church teachings if it wants to be reintegrated into the church. But it said some expressions contained in documents from the Second Vatican Council could be discussed.

    A key Vatican II document revolutionized relations with Jews by declaring that Christ’s death couldn’t be attributed to Jews as a whole.

    These “Vatican I” folks are unbelieveable in their brazen anti-semitism, sexism, racism & complete disregard for one of HaShem’s most sacred commandments in the entire Hebrew Bible: To Be Fruitful & Multiply.

    The fact that the current “Vatican II” Catholic Church is actually considering reconciling with these ignorant [insert your own personal description here]- type of people, shows that their institution has been so rocked by the pedophilia scandals & subsequent settlements, attorneys costs & $ needed to try to clean up image in the press, (ie: always “pro-life”, “pro-G-d”, & supposedly “pro-Israel”   just the right key moments, to “side” with all of us religious folks on certain important issues, in a sad attempt   “Nothing-2-See-Here-Folks!” re: the THOUSANDS molested)…

    That they have *no choice* but to accept the previously “unacceptable” at this point, if they want to keep their Roman boondoggle afloat for another couple thousands years! (lol) (:-D

    1st they accepted all the Anglicans who felt betrayed by their church’s new “pro-gay clergy” stance, they allow gay priests to join they faith as long as they don’t “act out” their “behaviors” & now they’ll allow RACISTS?!?!

    (con’t) Please forgive me for going on a 2-part rant here. (lol) But stories like this hit close to home for me!

    Having grown up in fundamentalist Christianity for about 30 years *shuddering* I always used to HATE IT when I would see churches treating religion like an enterprise or corporation, just to stay relevant…or at least solvent!

    Going to bed with movie stars, actual corporations, politicians, and some of the worst-of-the-worst in our society, when it comes to moral character. It’s unreal to me how “forgiving” churches can be to those who write the largest checks.

    And reading this article here, just reminds me of that sort of thing all over again!

    I don’t want to sound ultra-prejudiced & I can admit that I perhaps DO carry some residual bitterness about my religious past when I say this: but I really worry when I see Jewish people relying so heavily on “Christian” support for Israel, in politics, etc.

    I don’t think some of you realize just how phoney & corrupt a lot of those people are, when you’re not within hearing range! (lol)

    If you don’t think these Christians would turn on you just like other gentiles…

    Think again!

    Trust in those who trust in Torah.

    Why should we care? None of them have ever been allies of EY; let them do whatever they want so long as leave us alone.

    It is none of anyone’s business what the Church decides, just like it is not the Church’s business what a beis din poskens.

    Sadly I am not surprised at this. despite all evidence to the contrary people will continue to believe this narrishkeit. However it does have an effect on how our people are treated by others and that is disturbing to me. So many choose to remain willfully blind and ignorant.

    The bais din it not even of a value to Jews when two brother litigated over millions of dollar in real estate they brought the case before the N.Y. Supreme Court. The Vatican has a two pronged outlook. After WWII Bishops Draganovic and Hudal, one Croatian and the other Austrian, Helped escap Mengele, Eichmann and many other war criminals. This scism still exists in the Vatican and their outlook on Jews bilineal, some believe in tolerance or Vatican II and others display the same old fashioned antisemitism. In Buchenwald there were Catholics friendly to Jews and Ukrainians[Catholics] in Buchenwald attacked Jews
