Catholic Church, in Today's News 10.14.09

Catholic Church. The Judaization of the Church continues apace. The Vatican has announced that Benedict XVI will visit the Rome synagogue and meet with the city's Jewish community in January.

The Pope did not wake up one morning and decide to make this visit. For someone of the stature of the Pope, a meeting such as this one, requires months of discussion, planning and arrangement-setting between the respective staffs. That all this occurred is indicated by the date chosen, which is a Jewish commemoration.

One would think the Church situation was just fine, and therefore important staff time can be spent on a visit to the Rome synagogue. But as any school child knows, the seminaries are still shutting down, religious have almost disappeared, pews are empty, etc. All these issues deserve the overriding attention of the central Church figures, and this doesn't even mention world events such as the economic crisis, threats of war, etc.

No, Benedict doesn't seem to prioritize what would seem to be the central Church problems. He has set a course to make nice to the those who follow the Talmud. Benedict has set an example through his actions for the whole Church that 'reconciliation' with the Rabbis is task number one. As a result the insidious influence of the Talmud creeps into the Church.

The Church has 2,000 years of experience on the questions of Judaization. Yet, Benedict, who presumably knows something about history, conveniently throws out all the Church experience without even a reference to it.

The humorous part of all this is: no matter how much Benedict does to please the Rabbis, it is still not enough. In his recent trip to Israel several influential figures among the Rabbis simply tore apart Benedict and especially his remarks on the holocaust.

Here's a list of what Benedict has done during his Papacy to show his support for Judaization: (the list mostly comes from an article by John Thavis at Catholic News Service)

** Visited the main New York synagogue.

** Visited the main Cologne, Germany synagogue.

** Visited Auschwitz.

** Traveled to Israel.

** Went to the wailing wall.

** Met holocaust survivors at the holocaust memorial in Jerusalem.

Also, there seems to be a steady stream of Judaic leaders to the Vatican to speak with Benedict.
