[George W. Bush]

W/regard the Jews, evangelization has been put on the back burner for two reasons: a wacky leftist Cardinal, newly appointed to the 'ecumenism' chair in Rome; and secondly, a technical issue: it is a truism that the New Covenant did NOT abrogate the Old Covenant--thus, the 'urgency' of baptizing Jews has been diminished.

Ummm... Didn't the pope appoint the wacky leftist cardinal to ecumenism chair? Did the wacky leftist cardinal twist his arm behind his back and force him to kiss a Koran?

The New Covenant did abrogate the Old Covenant. The Bible says it plainly. Jesus and His disciples, all Jews, certainly thought so. I'll take their word for it.

Further, Muhammedanism is really a Heresy, rather than a non-Christian religion.

No, it is not a heresy. They worship a false god, not Jehovah. Do not believe the Jewish and Christian elements they have incorporated into their false religion. Mohammed included those because he wasn't very original and because he was pursuing ecumenism. So the reason you're being ecumenical toward their false religion to avoid evangelizing them is because they were ecumenical toward Christianity in the hopes of deceiving Christians (and Jews) to join their false religion.

So much for ecumenism.

Yes.

Did the wacky leftist cardinal twist his arm behind his back and force him to kiss a Koran?

That incident was before Kasper was put in the Ecumenism slot.

We think that JPII put Kasper in the Ecumeno-slot to get Kasper out of Germany, where Kasper was systematically destroying the Catholic Church.

The Bible says it plainly

The Old Covenant is still operative for the Jews. The New INCLUDES the Old but does not abrogate it--unless you believe that the 10 Commandments were abrogated. Please provide a citation demonstrating otherwise.

They worship a false god, not Jehovah

As a matter of fact, the Muslims worship Yahweh, and they are heretics because they refuse to recognize the Trinity, which was alluded to in the OT and explicitly mentioned in the NT.

This is why they do not recognize the Perfect Sacrifice (if Christ is not the Son of God...) and why they have such, ahhh, difficulties with the area of 'interpersonal law,'--essentially a failure to recognize that each person is a Son of God.

All the rest of their doctrinal aberratios can be explained in this light.

Belloc is a fairly decent source on the matter.
