This article is from Ha'aretz, and there isn't a single "Catholic intellectual" included as a source for the statement. There is nothing in the article to suggest that the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church had anything to do with this statement.

Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part....

Since you have already noticed the deceptive nature of the article and you have already considered the source, just let me add my standard lament about thugs.

Some anti-Zionist are anti-Semitic and all anti-Semites are anti-Zionist just as some Zionists are racists. Groups such as the JDL and segments of the once proud ADL are run by thugs who are routinely condemed by a vast majority of the Jewish faith, especially in Israel since they are the ones who have to suffer the consequences from the Kahane Kooks.

What bothers you about the Catholic Church stating the obvious??

Are you saying it would upset or anger you if it did?

Catholics and Jews Seeking to Promote Justice and Charity

BUENOS AIRES, JULY 7, 2004 (Zenit.org).- The International Meeting of the Catholic-Jewish Liaison Committee on its first day focused on the search for common commitments to promote justice and charity.

Among the speakers was Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Holy See's Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews, who reiterated that the Second Vatican Council's declaration Nostra Aetate is a "solid pillar" on which to base Catholic-Jewish relations.

The cardinal also called for "a joint action in favor of moral values that, as faith communities, we share."

"We do not come together as politicians, military men, or businessmen, but meet as faith communities," he said. "As companions we are linked to one another for the good, for 'shalom,' for the peace of humanity."

There were about 30 representatives from the Jewish community, headed by Israel Singer, head of the International Catholic-Jewish Liaison Committee.

Calling the meeting "a great challenge," Singer said there is a "great need to help Jews and Catholics find common cause, that is, to work for justice and charity." The meeting ends Thursday.
