It's interesting that you ment...Thanks, Sinead! It's interesting that you mention Rabbi Zolli because one of the real hot-button controversies in life is discussing the attitude of some Jewish people and Israelis towards Jewish people who convert to Christianity, even when the converts received no privileges for becoming Christians or converted at a time where "Christian privilege" no longer existed. (Note the position of Christians of Jewish family origin during the Holocaust.) Anything having to do with Saint Edith Stein, for example, is a flashpoint for misunderstanding in Jewish-Catholic dialogue.Mrs McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095035617334068201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670426779858438488.post-8999522383280061902015-03-04T13:02:28.393+00:002015-03-04T13:02:28.393+00:00What an excellent essay you wrote there Seraphic. ...What an excellent essay you wrote there Seraphic. I wish someone would give you a regular column in Standpoint or a mag like that. <br /><br />For those of us brought up with nominally Catholic parents TV and the internet either distract distract distract us from thinking about Big Things or tell us what to think about them. Younger people are turning off the telly though, so it's all about the interwebs. Sometimes I wonder if they tried to open up an abortuary in a pretty little English village where there was awful internet access and a sporadic tv service how long would it take for people to run them out of town once they realised what was taken away on bin day. It's the cacophony of noise and mild vile stuff that distracts us from contemplating the Big Stuff and Awful Stuff as they happen. At least with the internet there is a way to find the truth if one is interested. <br /><br />Pope Pius XII, what a man, God bless him, this piece is interesting about Rabbi Zolli http://www.zenit.org/en/articles/keys-<br />to-understanding-the-conversion-of-rabbi-zolli-of-rome and of course that lovely story of some American marines who were Catholics arriving at Castel Gandolfo and finding it a haven for Jews, bit of background here. http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/firstthoughts/2013/03/castel-gandolfo-home-of-popes-refuge-for-jews<br /><br />Sinéad.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
