We must say that St. Justin doesn't necessarily have the final word, but even if the Law has been, in a sense, superceded, yet HIS people remain HIS people. Do we really want to condemn them for their faithfulness to the Law that God gave them in olden times? From the early days of the Church, many Jews have accepted Christ. In our impatience with the rest, we have often mistreated them and often unjustly. If they sometimes have been our enemies, whose fault is that? They reject not Christ, whom they do not know, but us.

Robby, include me out of the editorial "we." That collective guilt has been rejected by both Christians and Jews in relation to the role of SOME Jews in Deicide so it makes NO sense to use "we" when referring to anti Jewish actions of SOME Christian Catholics.

It IS noteworthy that Jews CONTINUE to charge collective guilt against all Christians, but I see no reason to join them in their error

[Catholicguy]

They reject not Christ, whom they do not know, but us.

So, it is MY fault when some Jew rejects the Messiah? Sheesh, I guess that the collective innocence of the Jews is just the obverse of the Christian collective guilt coin.

Bless me, Father, for we have sinned?

Robby, you and I have had our differences in the past, but you are the height of rationality compared to Catholicguy.
