Video of the then Cardinal Bergoglio celebrating Hanukkah....

Gillibrand is very disappointed that Francis is not a "throne and altar" anti-Semite.

Is this your blog?

Unity among Christians and Jews is good.

Glad to see it. Remember our roots of what Jesus would have celebrated helps us learn more.

Also, many of the very early popes honored Jewish holidays so he is going back to very old tradition.

[wideawake]

Indeed it is - but not according to this clown, apparently.

Why are you excerpting your own blog?

[OpusatFR]

You have something against the book of Maccabees? Or just Jews?

[RightOnTheBorder]

Chanuka is a celebration of the victory of God’s people over pagans who were oppressing the Jews and desecrating the house of the Lord. Even though this occurred long before Jesus, why shouldn’t a Christian celebrate this event?

I celebrate Cinco de Mayo!

Gillibrand is very disappointed that Francis is not a "throne and altar" anti-Semite.

Hey, I'm all for throne and altar . . . !

(In Jerusalem!)

“Hear, O Israel....”

[Sgt_Schultze]

So did Jesus. What’s the point?

[Westbrook]

Jesus celebrated Hannukah, too.

John 1):22-ff.

Does it involve getting hammered on Corona and tequila?

To further flesh out the background... good read

Jesus celbrated Hannakah

This pleases me. :)

[cripplecreek]

I knew it would.

One of my beloved father’s last Christmas gifts to me (I’m catholic) was a Hanukah candelbra, candles and prayers. I love him for that, it reminds me of my roots.

He has only been Pope for a couple hours and all you can do is spread venom.

I won’t be visiting anymore of your threads, it would be a pure waste of my time.
