I am a Gentile and I call myself Judas Maccabaeus because that is the name I choose about 25 years as my Patron Saint for my Sacrament of Confirmation. This has been a tradition of the Catholic Church for many centuries. I quote an official Catholic reference:
       
'The Confirmation name is the name of a saint, chosen by the person to be confirmed and imposed by the bishop in Confirmation. Added to the Christian name, it gives the person confirmed a heavenly patron whom he should endeavor to imitate.'
       
- The Catholic Encyclopedia:
       
Did you also know that the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Bibles include two books about them called the Book of the Maccabees I and II. Here is an official Catholic link to them:

Holy Maccabee Saints


Also, both the Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox Churches revere and cherish the Maccabees as official Christian Saints in the Kingdom of Heaven. They are some of the only Jєωιѕн Saints of the Christian religion but have been accepted as Saints since nearly the very beginning of the Church.
       
Suffice it to say that although I am a Ukrainian Catholic Gentile, I am a Zionist who truly loves the Jєωιѕн people and some of my best friends throughout the entire four years of my University were Jєωs. In fact, before I went to University at the age of 19, I had never met a Jєω in my entire life. I grew in a small town/city of ~ 40,000 people in the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountains in Washington State. There may well have been some Jєωs in my hometown, but I certainly didn't know of any.
       
There was no ѕуηαgσgυє and the only real sense I had of the 'Jєωs' came from reading the Book of the Maccabees I and II during childhood and again while a teenage in high school. They were my favorite Books in the Bible back then and that has yet to change.
       
After having numerous Jєωιѕн friends at University, I've learned to avoid the subject of Catholicism. Not that I ever tried to convert a single Jєω, but some Jєωs I knew, especially girls, would always try to lay this HUGE guilt trip on me simply for being a Catholic. They would start the conversation like: 'Do you realize how many Jєωs your Church has persecuted, robbed, tortured, and killed throughout the ages?' etc.
       
My only response was to plead guilty but insist it wasn't my fault, and that no one should be blamed for what others in the past have done before they were ever born. I insisted then, and I do continue to insist today- 'Christianity is not about Jєω-hating. It is about Love and it always will be.'

God bless you and Shalom, Jason Corning (my real name!)

Heh.

After killing the Messiah sent to redeem them, Christ Our Lord, the Jєωs would have crushed us Christians under their feet and stamped us out if they could have. Yet, the Christian faith grew and spread far and wide like Jєωιѕн perfidy never could and the Jєωιѕн Temple was overthrown by Roman hands when Jerusalem was attacked in divine judgment. In time, a matter of centuries, Christianity would overcome even Rome by Constantine's conversion when he saw the power of Christ the Lord while those of Jєωιѕн faithlessness diminished greatly, though they could not completely disappear, until that future age when they shall enter the bosom of the Catholic Church.

From an Jєωιѕн Paper, Article, Stalin's Jєωs,

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3342999,00.html

Here's a particularly forlorn historical date: Almost 90 years ago, between the 19th and 20th of December 1917, in the midst of the Bolshevik revolution and cινιℓ ωαr, Lenin signed a decree calling for the establishment of The All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage, also known as Cheka.
 
Within a short period of time, Cheka became the largest and cruelest state security organization. Its organizational structure was changed every few years, as were its names: From Cheka to GPU, later to NKVD, and later to KGB.
 
We cannot know with certainty the number of deaths Cheka was responsible for in its various manifestations, but the number is surely at least 20 million, including victims of the forced collectivization, the hunger, large purges, expulsions, banishments, executions, and mass death at Gulags.
 
Whole population strata were eliminated: Independent farmers, ethnic minorities, members of the bourgeoisie, senior officers, intellectuals, artists, labor movement activists, "opposition members" who were defined completely randomly, and countless members of the Communist party itself.
 
In his new, highly praised book "The War of the World, "Historian Niall Ferguson writes that no revolution in the history of mankind devoured its children with the same unrestrained appetite as did the Soviet revolution. In his book on the Stalinist purges, Tel Aviv University's Dr. Igal Halfin writes that Stalinist violence was unique in that it was directed internally.
 
Lenin, Stalin, and their successors could not have carried out their deeds without wide-scale cooperation of disciplined "terror officials," cruel interrogators, snitches, executioners, guards, judges, perverts, and many bleeding hearts who were members of the progressive Western Left and were deceived by the Soviet regime of horror and even provided it with a kosher certificate.
 
All these things are well-known to some extent or another, even though the former Soviet Union's archives have not yet been fully opened

to the public. But who knows about this? Within Russia itself, very few people have been brought to justice for their crimes in the NKVD's and KGB's service. The Russian public discourse today completely ignores the question of "How could it have happened to us?" As opposed to Eastern European nations, the Russians did not settle the score with their Stalinist past.
 
And us, the Jєωs? An Israeli student finishes high school without ever hearing the name "Genrikh Yagoda," the greatest Jєωιѕн murderer of the 20th Century, the GPU's deputy commander and the founder and commander of the NKVD. Yagoda diligently implemented Stalin's collectivization orders and is responsible for the deaths of at least 10 million people. His Jєωιѕн deputies established and managed the Gulag system. After Stalin no longer viewed him favorably, Yagoda was demoted and executed, and was replaced as chief hangman in 1936 by Yezhov, the "bloodthirsty dwarf."
 
Yezhov was not Jєωιѕн but was blessed with an active Jєωιѕн wife. In his Book "Stalin: Court of the Red Star", Jєωιѕн historian Sebag Montefiore writes that during the darkest period of terror, when the Communist killing machine worked in full force, Stalin was surrounded by beautiful, young Jєωιѕн women.
 
Stalin's close associates and loyalists included member of the Central Committee and Politburo Lazar Kaganovich. Montefiore characterizes him as the "first Stalinist" and adds that those starving to death in Ukraine, an unparalleled tragedy in the history of human kind aside from the nαzι horrors and Mao's terror in China, did not move Kaganovich.
 
Many Jєωs sold their soul to the devil of the Communist revolution and have blood on their hands for eternity. We'll mention just one more: Leonid Reichman, head of the NKVD's special department and the organization's chief interrogator, who was a particularly cruel sadist.
 
In 1934, according to published statistics, 38.5 percent of those holding the most senior posts in the Soviet security apparatuses were of Jєωιѕн origin. They too, of course, were gradually eliminated in the next purges. In a fascinating lecture at a Tel Aviv University convention this week, Dr. Halfin described the waves of soviet terror as a "carnival of mass murder," "fantasy of purges", and "essianism of evil." Turns out that Jєωs too, when they become captivated by messianic ideology, can become great murderers, among the greatest known by modern history.
 
The Jєωs active in official communist terror apparatuses (In the Soviet Union and abroad) and who at times led them, did not do this, obviously, as Jєωs, but rather, as Stalinists, communists, and "Soviet people." Therefore, we find it easy to ignore their origin and "play dumb": What do we have to do with them? But let's not forget them. My own view is different. I find it unacceptable that a person will be considered a member of the Jєωιѕн people when he does great things, but not considered part of our people when he does amazingly despicable things.
 
Even if we deny it, we cannot escape the Jєωιѕнness of "our hangmen," who served the Red Terror with loyalty and dedication from its establishment. After all, others will always remind us of their origin.

I have no animosity toward any person, race or group of people, definitely not Jєωs. But don't you ever let anyone try to shame you for being a Catholic Christian.

You're a Judaizer.

Catholics traditionally take the names of saints of the New Testament era.

The Maccabees were Hebrews, they were not Jєωιѕн.

The Jєωιѕн people of today have have no relation to the Old Testament Hebrews or Israelites.

You can not be a Catholic and support Zionism or the illegal antichrist state of Israel.

Do you realize that the Jєωs are the true genocidal maniacs, not Catholics, and that Jєωs are trying to exterminate Europeans and Christians all over the world? The Jєωs cry persecution, but they are the persecutors.

Nonsense.  The saints of the old law are Catholic saints.  In the Eastern rites they have liturgical feast days and are celebrated as such.  This has never been the custom in the west, but that is all it is, a custom.  There is nothing wrong with the perfectly Catholic practice of taking Old Testament names.  

Maccabeus,

You're ignorant of history, and a moral coward.

Welcome to Cathinfo.

Thanks for our reasoned response Sigismund.

Hey PaxRomanum18,

You disparaged Poles, French, Spaniards, South Americans, and who knows who else that I missed, and even going so far as to call them vermin. So, why should anyone listen to you? I'm thinking that the 18 in your name is for your age?

You criticize every nationality, but your own, but what does ones nationality's accomplishments mean anyways, that's someone else’s accomplishments, tell us what exactly have you accomplished in your life?

Well we definitely know the old have no care for revolution, caring only for preserving the system as it were, along with the baby boomers and "Greatest Generation" being the cause of the West's collapse.

As for accomplishment it is well known that Europeans have accomplished more in terms of culture than any other people, especially those south of the border, well known for their crime, rape, and drugs.

As for the Poles Poland is responsible for much of World War II happening and the Spanish these days are being invaded by Africans and Arabs, not exactly the Spain of General Franco now is it? I will give the Spanish one thing: at least they actually tried to spread religion and morality to the backward savages that are in the American continent.

And accomplishment in your terms means accomplishment of the egotistical individual when it is the accomplishment of the nation that is more important. The accomplishment of manual labor is praiseworthy, not to be disparaged by the intellectuals on here.

...but then again, more and more people have been thoroughly Jєωified in their reasoning.

Actually. it's ironic that most people I know who've attended University is where their eyes were opened to the ways of the Jєωs where they were oblivious to the fact before they attended.

I did not learn about the Judaic attacks on Gentile civilization until shortly after I started considering the Trayvon Martin case this late February.

At first, I learned about the incited racism.  Then, someone suggested the idea that this black-on-white racism, as well as misgenation, was planned and encouraged by someone--Jєωs.  

I've since concluded that Jєωs have had a hand in a lot of stuff since the Reformation.

From Maccabaeus own website...

Hello Sigismund and nadieimportante, are you there? It's time for you two to wake up from your Jєω-loving slumber. This guy a Judaizing Zionist anti-Christ yid posing as a Christian. And the two of you just defended him.

Blind worship of diversity is proof that government schools and American media have successfully inculcated their garbage into an otherwise sane mind.

It is a simple truth that groups of people have collective characteristics that set them apart from other groups.  In America, to discern between these different groups is a thought crime.

This guy claims to be a Christian (ostensibly loving Christ) yet defends a тαℓмυd that says vile thing about Our Lord and the Blessed Mother.

What a maroon!
