We have far more in common than separating us.

Yep, if we crazy Catholics could just get over that little "Jesus is the Savior" thing, everything would be peaches and cream, and we would all sing a non-denominational Kumbayah around the campfire. Unfortunately, it seems as if that's where we're headed. Understanding and coexisting peacefully is one thing. Worshipping with pagans and heretics is quite another. Sometimes, the Truth is divisive. The ecumaniacs in the Church need to get a grip on that concept.

Well, we are lifelong Episcopalians- and no fewer than four Rabbis have dubbed us "honorary Jews" as well. I'll leave it at that.

I agree. The dialogue the Pope should have with Jews should be this, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved." Outside of that, what fellowship does light have with the darkness? Judaism, rightly understood, and Christianity, rightly understood are PROFOUNDLY at odds, not just a little bit.

I wasn't aware that visiting equates with worshipping. You better write the Pope and warn him. Personally, I've never had a problem visiting Churches. I don't see the case for him worshipping with heretics, I presume you view Jews as pagans.

Please don't make the Catholics look bad in front of our Jewish friends.
Mary was a Jew and she is our mother.
The Jews are the chosen people and that Anti-semetic stuff went out with Vatican II.

Although I am a traditional, conservative Catholic who would love nothing more than to see more Latin and Greek in our Holy Masses, I feel that the appreciation of the Jewish people is the best thing to come out of Vatican II and continued with JPII.

The Jews are which? Pagans or heretics?
