“I guess nobody cares how offended I am that over 70% of the U.S. Jewish community voted for an American hating, Israel hating, Iran loving, socialist for president. Perhaps I’m less concerned about the holocaust than the coming catastrophe of a nuclear armed Iran. After Nov 4th, I must say couldn’t care less how they feel about Pope Benedict XVI.”
You are generalizing. There are more Jews in the world than just those in America. There is all of Israel, and believe me, they know better than anyone how precarious their situation is over there surrounded by the Arab countries that want them exterminated. Who do you think will be the first affected by the coming catastrophe of a nuclear armed Iran. That’s right, Israel. It would be their second holocaust. So, because there are a bunch of leftist Jews in this country whose ideology trumps their loyalties to Israel and their religious roots, that does not abrogate the threat to Israel’s very existence. Israeli Jews are not disemodied American leftist Jews. And what the SSPX’er jerk Bishop said about the Jews was unconscionable and impossible to justify by any Catholic.
1. The Pope ex-ex-communicated a bishop. No Catholic is justifying the Bishop’s comments. It allows the bishop (necessarily a sinner) access to the sacraments (including reconciliation). He may need them more than most.
2. I haven’t heard outrage from any Jewish community over the election of Obama.
3. Those Jewish leaders feigning offense at Pope Benedict and being silent about the Obama administration should be ignored.
4. The MSM never misses an opportunity to throw dirt at the Vatican, they could very well have manufactured this “outrage.”
