You are a sad case. You name a handful of people and condemn all of Catholicismm...How would YOU like the Jewish people to be all codemned because of a few bad ones? Ridculous.

Madam (I assume), you are obviously a very good person and I thank G-d for you, but if you cannot see that the Catholic Church has been solidly and adamantly opposed to the literal restoration of the Jews for two thousand years then you know absolutely nothing about your faith or its history. There are today a very few pro-Israel Catholics who seem to come in two varieties: the radical lefties who love to use the Jewish people as a hammer to smash the very concept of religious orthodoxy (people like Rosemary Radfor Reuther and her kin), and American Catholics who have come under Fundamentalist Protestant influence (eg, Oliver North and Alan Keys). I'm sorry. I wish it weren't so but it is, and I did not make it so. Please don't complain to me about the anti-Zionism of the Catholic Church. (You do know, I hope, that the Catholic Church is officially opposed to the literal messianic reign of J*sus from Jerusalem? It's one of the few things they actually take a stand against, and if you subscribe to millenialism you are a heretic--unless your "millenium" means a period when the "Church triumphant" rules the world through the Pope and clergy, as "predicted" at Fatima).

As for judging Jews, it is well known that Orthodox Jews are quietistic, insular, and withdrawn while radical Jews constantly yammer at and attack the rest of the world precisely in the name of Judaism, so the answer is obvious. However, the Catholic Church is Catholicism, while it is not the Jewish People but the Torah that is Judaism. I hope this answer makes some sense to you.

Again, thank you for taking the stands that you do.

You know LESS than nothing about the Catholic Church and their beliefs. You are spreading antiCatholic slurs. We have ALWAYS been pro-Israel and the Jewish people of God.....people of God being the phrase of note.
