As reported by LifeSite on Friday, ex-Jesuit Father William Hart McNichols and Jewish Biblical professor Amy-Jill Levine were billed as the keynote speakers for the conference.
Dr. Levine is a professor of New Testament and Jewish studies at the Hartford International University for Religion and Peace. Though speaking at an event billed for Catholics, Levine has stated that she is “not a believer in Jesus” as God.
Why she was invited, I have no idea.
Many years back, I was taking a course whose professor once studied to be a priest. He professed to be Catholic but in class avoided confessing his faith. I discerned he didn't want to offend the Jewish students, so he compromised by treating Jesus as a 'prophet'. I confronted the man privately, pointing out his compromise & hypocrisy. Unexpectedly, he agreed that he was compromising his true faith in Christ.
There are Christians who treat Jews who reject Christ as something special because they are Jews. This is wrong on many levels.
