I think perhaps you are right about some ultra-ultra-ultra traditionalist Catholics being anti-Semitic, but these will be the oddballs who contemptuously oppose every 20th century Pope, and who particularly execrate John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI. Which means that "normal" conservative Catholics would not even see them as being Catholic except in some menacing, fun-house-mirror-gone-to-hell kind of way.

Catholics are a funny lot, though.

Think of Dorothy Day (1897-1980), probably the most important lay leader in the history of the Catholic Church in the USA. She was as conservative as you can get religiously (loved the ancient liturgy, prayed the Rosary daily, revered the Pope, upheld traditional morality at impressive personal cost, lived the Works of Mercy every day also at impressive personal cost), a lifelong, warm friend of Jews, of Israel and the People of Israel. Now (and this makes me sick at heart) she's very much "approved" by the pro-Palestinian Catholic Left --- even if they don't agree with her religiously AT ALL --- because she was a lifelong pacifist.

Yes, she was. In the mold of St. Francis of Assisi --- and not Michael Moore!

Dorothy Day, pray for us!
Francis of Assisi, pray for us!
Peace to Jerusalem!
Shalom!

Dorothy Day is one of those strange lynchpins that connect the Left and Right (and I don't mean that as an insult to her at all). She's also a big heroine to the folks at Traditional Catholic Reflections, a strange site that attacks the left and ultra-right, endorses later, more radical teachings of Martin Luther King, Jr., yet posts stuff by Justin Raimondo.

BTW, thank G-d for all the people who keep traditional, G-dly morality from being completely hijacked and buried by the economic social Darwinists. They've got some religion people thinking the highest moral duty is to reduce the government to the size of a microbe and enable the laws of competition to kill off weaklings.

Hey Mrs. Don-o,

Totally off topic but you had a post about helping out a certain lawyer with a certain case. I didn't get a chance to read that website address. Can you freepmail me?
