this ####ty little pot head just called me a judic,
What do you expect?-- U are the one who has referred to Catholics as 'the true jews'.
I don't see anything wrong with this. The Catholic Church is Israel, the New Jerusalem, the Kingdom of God, what-have-you. αѕнкenαzι/Sephardic Jews are Israel according to the flesh (I'm not interested in hearing theories about the 13th tribe, Khazaria, etc.), but have no part in the Kingdom of God unless they convert to the Catholic faith.
Now I'm going to post a quote attributed to Pope Pius XI, and I know it's Wikipedia, yet I could of sworn I've seen it elsewhere:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Pius_XI_and_Judaism#cite_note-6Mark well that in the Catholic Mass, Abraham is our Patriarch and forefather. Anti-Semitism is incompatible with the lofty thought which that fact expresses. It is a movement with which we Christians can have nothing to do. No, no, I say to you it is impossible for a Christian to take part in anti-Semitism. It is inadmissible. Through Christ and in Christ we are the spiritual progeny of Abraham. Spiritually, we are all Semites".
I'm sure everyone is aware there is a difference between being an αnтι-ѕємιтє and anti-Zionist.
It should be of interest that the prev poster has referred to St Luke and Fr Torquemada as judaics. Now there is something for a 'celt' to be sick over.
This is all going to be confusing if we don't all understand the terms which are being used in the discussion. What do you mean by "judaics", Roscoe? I don't know much about Fr. Torquemada; I think he was a convert from Judaism and had some participation in the Spanish Inquisition (I'm not going to debate whether he was a crypto-Jew as I've seen elsewhere--not necessarily on
this forum.) Stating that St. Luke and Fr. Torquemada are Jews, I believe, is perfectly correct, ethnically they are. I'm sure everyone knows that Einstein was either an atheist or agnostic, but do you really think that Jews around the world believe he's less Jєωιѕн because he was not religious? I'd say the majority of Jews would never state such a thing.
Words have multiple meanings, and "to swear" can mean "to curse", and it can also mean to take an oath. Perhaps at one point in the English language "to swear" only had one definition, but words evolve, that's why it's very important that the official language of the Church and her liturgy is in Latin, which thankfully is a so-called "dead language".
