I wasn't talking about the Holy Father's views on anti-Semitism. What I was getting at was what I perceived as a vile insinuation that people (I am not among them) who criticize the Holy Father's ecumenical visit to a synagogue are somehow automatically anti-Semitic.
I just thought it was kind of a low blow; that's all. I've seen this kind of thing from Mr. Shea in the past. He's a good guy, but he gets carried away rhetorically.
I think we need to remember that the remark of Pius XI(?) that spiritually we are all Semites was more than a rhetorical flourish, that a visit to a synagogue is more than a symbolic gesture. After all we worship a Jew.
