Benedict’s ecclesial acceptance of someone most thoughtful people wouldn’t invite to a cocktail party showed a disregard of the sensibilities of his own flock.

Christians should neither excoriate Israel nor remain silent in the face of horrendous attacks in Gaza and elsewhere. Rather, according to Rev. Laarman, American Christians must heed King and make the issue about US policy and the kind of nation we aspire to be.

Benedict’s visit to Israel was marked by his refusal to acknowledge the history of Catholic anti-Judaism and its relationship to Nazi antisemitism. Politicians, rabbis, and journalists were indignant that the pope offered no apology while a cardinal was surprised to learn that an apology was expected.

A Jewish professor is under fire for comparing the suffering of Jews in WWII to the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza. Do these comparisons serve any purpose?

At a time when the Pope isn’t doing much to help Jewish-Catholic relations, the Boston Diocese reaches out.

An Israeli late show host’s skit denying the virgin birth caused a furor among evangelicals and the Vatican. He had his reasons.

The Pope has backtracked a bit on his reinstatement of a Holocaust-denying bishop, but that doesn’t change his fundamentally anti-Modern perspective.

Benedict decides to rescind the excommunications of four bishops, all of whom are antagonistic toward Judaism, and one of whom is a holocaust-denier.
