How will you catechize your RCIA group about anti-Semitism?

    The lack of knowledge of our Judaic Christian faith among my Catholic community never ceases to amaze me.Yes, certain powerful, political Jews were responsible for arrest, condemnation and of demanding that the Romans execute Jesus, but not ALL Jews are responsible for Christ’s death. I am a Canadian but that does mean I take responsibility for everything my Canadian Government (the people in power) believe or do.

    I totally agree! I will be entering the Church this Easter and believe that Catholicism is an extension…my completion as a Jew. Jesus lived and died as a Jew and followed, and improved Jewish law. He was circunsized, Bar Mitzpahed, and lived a pure Jewish life but improved and purified our hearts. Let antisemitism end and all of us live our lives as Jesus would want!

  3. Amen to Eric! I am a Jewish Catholic and have been Catholic for 22 years this Easter. I find lots of unintentional Antisemitism in the Church. Most people that I have talked with know that Jesus was a Jew, but they don’t know what that means, and they don’t know that all the Apostles and the earliest Christians were Jews. I find it difficult listening to the reading of the Passion, because it reinforces Antisemitism unless the context of its writing is explained. That is what I try to do in all catechetical opportunities.
