ST. PAUL — Orthodox Rabbi Yehuda Levin of Brooklyn, a longtime pro-life, pro-family activist, in a September 9 telephone interview with The Wanderer said he is “calling upon the eminent Pope Benedict…to weigh in before the Synod” against same-sex marriage and civil unions, as well as “on all the negative things that are going on.”
Rabbi Levin offered his view that Benedict has “got to be a fighter for this,” given “the volume of the negative stuff” and because “God and His people are under attack in a vicious way,” particularly in their efforts to defend marriage. He said he is calling upon the Pope Emeritus “as a plea…to come out with great clarification.”
Rabbi Levin has been interviewed by several pro-life and religious outlets recently, notably on September 8 with LifeSiteNews on the subject of Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk imprisoned for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses. Davis was released after the LifeSiteNews interview. In the article, written by Hannah Westen, Rabbi Levin stated: “On a theological basis, I am absolutely jealous of this woman; every minute she sits in prison to honor God’s name she obtains an immense heavenly reward.”
Levin, the official spokesman for the 850-member Rabbinical Alliance of America, told LifeSiteNews that Davis received “a personal email from a very distinguished head of a rabbinical court in New Jersey court on behalf of 1,500 Orthodox Jewish families.”

Fat chance.
Wow! Powerful!
Wowzer!
The Catholic Church is on a collision course with Schism ...
After this damnable synod, the world will see two Churches - The Traditional Holy Roman catholic Church ... and the Anti Church, made up of Popy Franie’s non-judged faggots, ecumenical novelty-pimps and Marxist modernist heretics ... That is why the Freemasons so much revere Popy Frannie - He’s made in their image - and does their bidding.
Pass the unleavened snacks.
Rabbi Levin is a treasure. But Benedict is not going to say anything.
I have read that his original intention was to become Cardinal Ratzinger once again, but others insisted on “Pope Emeritus.” At least one former Pope had resumed being a Cardinal.
I think that, if he were Cardinal Ratzinger, he might feel himself to have more freedom to speak publicly.
Not saying this particular person, but it’s funny how the pope and Catholics get slammed for thinking they are the authority - then when the stuff hits the fan they are looked to as the authority. LoL!
If ONLY he would, but protocol will not allow him to.
Nice move, Rabbi. Get them on record.
and interesting request.
Good point. Francis pays more heed to the Jews and Muslims than he does Catholics.
