The synod refered to has no connectin whatsoever to the Catholic Church --- or the Pope.

Where do you come from? How can you post like an authority on a topic over which you have NO knowledge? Prove that Archbishop Bustros is not a Roman Catholic archbishop of the Melkite Greek Rite. Prove that his synod held in Rome was called by somebody other than the Pope.

Rosen responded, "The comments of Archbishop Bustros reflect either shocking ignorance or insubordination in relation to the Catholic Church's teaching on Jews and Judaism flowing from the Vatican II declaration Nostra Aetate. That declaration affirms the eternal covenant between God and the Jewish People, which is inextricably bound up with the Land of Israel. We urge the Vatican to issue a clear repudiation of Archbishop Bustros's outrageous and regressive comments."

If your actually interested, a simple search will turn up a lot more including the fact that the loudmouth in question made his statement because he didn't agree with the written statement that would be issued and therefore wanted to make his point while the written statement was being passed out and before people read it.

He is direct contradiction to both Vatican II and the Pope himself. Just like the radicals who run their mouths here in the US about how it's OK to be a Cafeteria Catholic and pick and choose what you agree with, he thinks he can pick and choose what he agrees with. Regards

I have no idea how to make sure the above link works, but there's the Vatican denouncing what he said and saying that he spoke only for himself. The Vatican is a state but often people assume that anything said at a meeting there is direct from the Pope and the Church. Not so. This guy has his own fish to fry and one of them is that he's ticked about Ratzinger ticking off Muslims.
