The Catholic Church condemned anti-Zionism as a cover for anti-Semitism by means of a joint statement issued by a forum of Catholic-Jewish intellectuals this week. The basic premise of this article is incorrect. Catholic doctrine and moral teachings are not defined by a "forum of Catholic-Jewish intellectuals."

I am Catholic and I am glad that this statement was put out. If JPII did not approve of it, it would not be stated.

Catholic doctrine and moral teachings are not defined by a "forum of Catholic-Jewish intellectuals."It depends on who made the statement and on what grounds it was made.
Whatever its status, it is clearly a timely recognition of the facts on the ground and I applaud the Vatican for it.

It isn't doctrine, or a moral teaching -- not a religious statement.
