I lovingly disagree. The Catholic Church has a long history of misdeeds regarding the Jewish people. Jews were forced to live in Ghettos during the dark ages and often persecuted. Additionally, the modern Roman Catholic Church did not recognize Israel until the 1990s.

And the Jews of course had no misdeeds, like opening the gates of Constantinople to the Turks or serving as the slave traders and tax administrators of the invading Moors.

Because of anti-Semitism and the aversion they felt upon seeing Israel again among the family of nations. For the Vatican, an independent Jewish State bearing the name “Israel,” with Jerusalem as its capital, and a renewal of life in the land of the Bible, has been the most complex theological Christian problem and a total contradiction to Church dogma.

His claim about Church dogma is nonsense, and he wields the term "anti-Semitism" just like leftists wield "racism" and "sexism": to intimidate and silence disagreement.

Your statements are correct - and in no way contradictory to mine.
