Chief Rabbinate of Israel ..

Is this the present day equivalent of the Sanhedrin?

You can’t be excommunicated for being a cretin, only for formal heretical acts - such as getting made a Bishop outside of the Apostolic line.

The Holocaust happened, but denying that it happened is not a heresy: it is a falsehood.

Can you imagine if the Pope started demanding that certain rabbis be fired and ostracized by the Jewish religion. They look and sound ridiculous and as usual are making a mountain out of a molehill.

The Jews have a way of making stars out of nobodies such as Farrakhan. I never even heard of Farrakhan until the Jews made a star out of him and made him a leader in the black community. No one even heard of Calypso Louie before he made a remark against the Jewish community.

Williamson lives in seclusion in Argentina... now that is irony you can sink your teeth into!

Let us pray for the perfidious Jews: that our God and Lord may remove the veil from their hearts; that they also may acknowledge Our Lord Jesus Christ. Almighty and Eternal God, Who does not exclude from Thy mercy even the perfidious Jews: hear our prayers, which we offer for the blindness of that people; that acknowledging the light of Thy Truth, which is Christ, they may be delivered from their darkness.

News of the rabbinate's decision appeared first on the Jerusalem Post website and the pope quickly responded by reiterating his full support for his ''Jewish brothers'' and said the Holocaust must not be denied because ''the memory of the Shoah regenerates our humanity and helps us reflect on the unexpected power which evil can exert on the hearts of man''.
