Re: The SSPX
Some years ago I attended some masses at an SSPX church and never heard anything anti-Semitic. And do you think that the mainstream Catholic church does not harbor some priests who are anti-Semitic? You have referenced two or three instances of problems within the SSPX, but do those problems outweigh a Catholic teacher group of 45,000 members wholeheartedly embracing the gay agenda?

Hi Steve. I haven’t actually attended an SSPX Mass but would like to some day. FSSP is the same distance so I will go to them somewhat preferentially, as long as they don’t cave to the “New Catholicism”..

I have no reason to doubt your own reported experience, and anti-Jewish, anti-Israel sentiment is spreading again like a disease through all kinds of people and institutions.
It would be difficult to weigh the two sins and decide which is worst. The punishment is the same for each (see "Old Testament" Law and Prophets on the latter). We (people of all nations and religions) should avoid supporting any abominable, prohibited act or further defaming or otherwise hurting the chosen people.
I'll admit that I'm not Chrstian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, Atheist, etc., but many perceive the "Old Testament" as somehow superseding the "New" and launching wordy ramblings with irrelevant metaphors in efforts to state the same and deny it. If they really believe what they're saying (and at the same time, denying), then they have no reason to keep copies of the "Old."

Here’s a re-comment with an error of mine corrected (re. “New” and “Old”).
