No, the Catholic Church should not try to convert Jews. Nor should anyone else. But what keeps nagging at me whenever I read stories like these is, since when have Catholics ever "witnessed" to anybody??? When I joined the Catholic Church over thirty years ago I had to take the initiative every step of the way. The Catholic Church passively converts seekers; it does not actively try to convert anyone. I would guess the danger of a Jew being proselytized by Catholics is considerably less than being killed by a meteorite.

Another issue: while it's true that Catholicism's refusal to proselytize among Jews is preferable to the sincere but very wrong attempts of Fundamentalist Protestants, no one is pointing out the danger of engaging in ecumenical activities with the Vatican. Voices are constantly warning against Judaeophilic Fundamentalists and their attempts to combine Judaism and chrstianity. But what about liberal ecumenism such as that sought by the Vatican and the United Religions Initiative?

Your post is about what we would expect ‘ole Zionist conspirator to say. Someone who bashes the New Testament repeatedly on this forum.

Your tagline tells us the “end of history” will be a worldwide Judaic theocracy. No wonder you think it is a wrong to witness to such superior beings as yourself, you, after all, are slated to rule the world, over all Christians.

No wonder you trash the New Testament so much, for it says just the opposite. It says there is going to be a millennial reign of Jesus Christ - the true Messiah of the Jews - after his second coming, Rev. 20. A Christian worldwide theocracy, a Christian “end of history,” not an antichristian Judaic one.
