But now evangelical types are being categorized by yourself as anti-semitic?

Some are; some aren't. It's what they believe; it is part of their religious DNA. I expect the here are many here who agree with Bailey Smith and some who do not.

"It's interesting to me at great political battles how you have a Protestant to pray and a Catholic to pray and then you have a Jew to pray," Smith stated. "With all due respect to those dear people, my friend, God Almighty does not hear the prayer of a Jew. For how in the world can God hear the prayer of a man who says that Jesus Christ is not the true Messiah? It is blasphemy. It may be politically expedient, but no one can pray unless he prays through the name of Jesus Christ."

Although the remark went little noticed at the time, a few weeks later controversy erupted after it received public attention. Ronald Reagan, then the Republican presidential candidate, who had spoken at the same rally the day before Smith, faced questions about if he agreed with the statement.

"No," Reagan stated. "Since both the Christian and Judaic religions are based on the same God, the God of Moses, I'm quite sure those prayers are heard. But I guess everyone can make his own interpretation of the Bible, and many individuals have been making differing interpretations for a long time." - See more at: http://www.ethicsdaily.com/anniversary-of-bailey-smiths-harmful-moment-in-baptist-jewish-relations-cms-16564#.dpuf You wrote that you believe Jews do have a God, so you need not worry.

There will be always at the least --- some remnant.

Elijah thought himself alone as he was hiding there in a cave.

The Lord told Elijah plainly that was not so.

Yet still there are many who reject Jesus in word and deed -- just as there are those who affirm in word yet do not do the work.

The two sons parable explains it.

It is things of that nature which brought me many years ago to this way of looking at it.

The RCC does not speak for myself. I arrived where I have without having followed instruction from (post Vatican II) "there".

It didn't take me centuries to get there, either.

Some people are naturals...hehhehheh.

D'jah hear the one about the difference between Jewish babies and Catholic babies?

Jewish babies are born with guilt, Catholic babies have to go to Catechism school and learn it.

You wrote that you believe Jews do have a God, so you need not worry.

And the other soul here who wrote concerning lack of a saving God has nothing to worry about either.

Are Traddie Catholics Anti-Semitic? by Fr. Dwight Longenecker

As you had said previously "The Catholic Catechism, on the other hand, teaches otherwise..."

Here of late. But not all that well -- and certainly not consistently, historically speaking.

"...and I am grateful not to be in an antiSemitic faith community."
