Rabbi Shmuley Boteach met with Francis

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach meeting Francis (2 March 2016).

Thanks to the connections of Gary Krupp, the president of the Pave the Way Foundation, Chabad-Lubavitcher Rabbi Shmuley Boteach has met not one but two pontiffs after public general audiences.  Krupp is so influential in the Vatican that he was named a Knight Commander of the Order of St. Gregory the Great by John Paul II in September 2000 and also got special permission for rabbis and Talmudic scholars to access the Vatican Library among other things.

We are digressing, so what did Rabbi Shmuley Boteach talk to Francis about when he met him? According to Boteach’s facebook account, it was primarily about anti-semitism and “the plight of Israel”. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach,

“thanked [Francis] for his courage in announcing last year that the Catholic Church would no longer be targeting Jews for conversation and acknowledged that Jews and people of other faiths can go to heaven.

He implored the Pope to take a further courageous step and protect not just the Jewish soul but the Jewish body.

“Your holiness,” he said, “the Jewish people are under threat around the world, with rising anti-Semitism especially here in Europe, and constant murderous attacks in Israel. As the foremost moral voice and spiritual personality in the world, your condemnation of anti-Semitism in unconditional terms and acknowledgement that there is no difference in hating Israel and hating the Jewish people, is vital. Israel is hated simply because it’s the Jewish state.”

Stating that clearly and unequivocally, Rabbi Shmuley continued, would provide a moral bulwark against the enemies of the Jewish people, especially as forces like BDS attempt to destroy Israel economically and demonize the Jewish nation.

“Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah all profess genocidal intent against Jews and Israel,” Rabbi Shmuley said. He asked the Pope to condemn the incitement in the strongest terms.

The Pope responded to Rabbi Shmuley by asking him to pray for him. Rabbi Shmuley responded that the he and the Jewish people were always praying for the welfare of the Pope, wishing him God’s blessings in achieving this vital and noble aim.

“The Pope is a man of immense warmth and caring and he listened intently to my heartfelt plea to protect my people in an age where irrational hatred of Jews is growing. I will do as he asked and pray that this hatred subsides, with the Pope joining the chorus of those who condemn in absolute terms the vilification of Israel and Jewry.””

Francis with his copy of Kosher Jesus.

The other thing that Rabbi Shmuley Boteach did was give Francis another rabbinical book for his growing library of Judaica.  Boteach presented Francis with a copy of Kosher Jesus which is right up Francis’ alley.  Rabbi Boteach also told Francis his reason for writing this book was threefold,

“The first was to highlight the Jewishness of Jesus. The second, to educate about the Jewish origins of the Christian faith and how the only religion ever practiced by Jesus was Judaism. And the third was to create a theological bridge of understanding between Jews and Christians in an era where Christians have emerged as some of Israel’s greatest supporters and defenders.”

At a party for the book’s launch in 2012 Boteach said,

“"This book is telling the Jews to reclaim Jesus, the authentic Jesus, the historical Jesus, the Jewish Jesus" and to be inspired by his "beautiful" teachings, the U.S.-born author and TV show host told Anglo File this week in Jerusalem. "It's asking Christians to make an effort to enrich their Christianity through an understanding of the Jewishness of Jesus."

"Suddenly we have evangelical Christians emerging as the foremost supporters of the state of Israel," he said. "We have this political alliance. What is a lacking is a theological bridge."

"Christians don't know the Jewish Jesus," Boteach continued. "They know the Christ-divinity but not the Jewish man Jesus. There's a need to discover the humanity of Jesus."

"Kosher Jesus" amalgamates research (mostly by Hyam Maccoby ) which suggests that the gospels give the wrong impression of Jesus. "There was a lot of embellishment and editing," Boteach said. "We have to remember Paul [the apostle] never met Jesus. He cannot offer us a first-hand account of Jesus' life."

Christian scripture "doesn't add up" when it portray Jesus as a self-hating Jew, or when it lists sins that allegedly led Jews to condemn him, Boteach said. Jesus never declared himself God or meant to abolish Jewish law, he asserts.

And the fact that Jesus thought of himself as the messiah shouldn't bother Jews, he insists: "I could declare myself the messiah right now. There's nothing blasphemous about this," Boteach said. "I even encourage people to have a certain messianic tendency in their lives, a desire to redeem the world." 

Boteach said he regrets that Jews allowed Jesus "to be ripped away from them without even a fight." 

"We just accepted a Christian interpretation of his life and narrative," he said. "One of the most influential people of all time is seen as a Christian who loved the Romans and said about the Jews that they are all the children of the devil."

But "Christian ideas of Jesus as divine messiah emerged as a savvy adaptation following the destruction of the Second Temple," Boteach explained. Once Jews understand that, he writes that they "can take inspiration from Jesus' often beautiful ethical teachings and appreciate Jesus as a devoted Jewish son who became martyred while trying to lift the Roman yoke of oppression from his beloved people."

Getting Christians to believe that Jesus was a Jew and not the promised Messiah, the Son of God, is the first step of inculcating them into Noahidism.  So to wrap things up we have rabbi from a family of weapons dealers (here, here, here, here) with a strong connection to the Chabad mafia (here, here) meet with Francis.  This same rabbi commends Francis for fighting the enemies of Israel and condemning them as “anti-semites” and proceeds to give Francis a book that teaches Jesus was nothing more than a Talmudic Jew.

Francis receives a copy of ‘The Jewish Annotated New Testament’

Amy-Jill Levine, Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt University, and Marc Zvi Brettler, Professor in Judaic Studies at Duke University, the editors of the Jewish Annotated New Testament, presented the book to Pope Francis at the General Audience on Wednesday, March 27th. The following day, the work was discussed at a conference held at the Aula Magna of the Gregorian University, with responses by Professor Pino Di Luccio, S.J. and Biju Sebastian, S.J. The event was organized by Professor Jean-Pierre Sonnet, S.J., and Professor Luca Mazzinghi and co-sponsored by the Gregorian’s Faculty of Theology and the Cardinal Bea Centre for Judaic Studies.

The Jewish Annotated New Testament involves contributions of seventy Jewish scholars. It is the first major attempt of Jewish scholars to make the New Testament accessible to a Jewish readership, especially as an important source for the history of Judaism in the first century. At the same time, this work opens a Jewish perspective on the New Testament to Christian readers. It helps Christians to become aware of passages that are problematic for Jews. It also helps one to appreciate the implications of the Jewish identity of Jesus and the first believers in Christ. This work opens the door to respectful and enriching dialogue and is thus a major contribution to Jewish-Christian relations.

Amy-Jill Levine is currently Visiting Professor at the Pontifical Biblical Institute(PBI), where she teaches a course on the Parables of Jesus. She is the first Jewish scholar to teach in the field of New Testament at the Institute. She will also deliver a paper at the conference Jesus and the Pharisees, 7-9 May 2019, organised by Professor Joseph Sievers (PBI). Marc Brettler presented a lecture on “Religious and Critical Perspectives in Jewish Biblical Studies” at the PBI, hosted by Professor Agustinus Gianto, S.J., of the Institute’s Oriental Faculty.

01 APR CELEBRATING THE JEWISH ANNOTATED NEW TESTAMENT AT THE GREGORIAN UNIVERSITY, Gregorian Foundation, 1 April 2019.

The Jewish Annotated New Testament was written by eighty Talmudic Jews (anti-Christians such as Susannah Heschel, Jacob Neusner, Geza Vermes). In it they cite the Talmud, the Kabbalah, the Mishnah, the Zohar, the Pirkei Avot, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and an assortment of other Judaic literature to explain that Jesus was nothing more than a simple Jew and that the anti-semitism of Christianity comes from the non-Jewish followers of Jesus because they twisted his words. It’s enough to make one want to barf.  As an example of the ‘scholarship’ in the book we quote from the preface (pp. xiii-xiv) of the book written by its editors, Amy-Jill Levine and Marc Zvi Brettler,

See there it is and not very subtly. Christians are too dumb to understand the New Testament and need the Talmudic Jews to explain it to them.  The “good news” of the gospels isn’t “good news” if it says something against the Jews!  Could you ever imagine the shoe being on the other foot and the ‘holy’ texts of Talmudic Judaism such as the Talmud and the Zohar being annotated by the Christians so it is pointed out that Talmudic Judaism is not only anti-Christian but also anti-goyim?  Don’t hold your breathe because it’ll never happen.  That being said, this book is right up Francis’ hasidic alley.  In two 2018 speeches to the Participants in the International Conference on the Responsibility of States, Institutions and Individuals in the fight against anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic hate crimes, to the European Jewish Congress’ conference “An End to Antisemitism!” , and in his preface to An End to Antisemitism! A Catalogue of Policies to Combat Antisemitism, Francis said as much, “Translations of the New Testament... need marginal glosses, and introductions that emphasize continuity with Jewish heritage of... Christianity... and warn readers about antisemitic passages.”  He doesn’t end there however, “As I have often repeated, a Christian cannot be an anti-Semite; we share the same roots. It would be a contradiction of faith and life. Rather, we are called to commit ourselves to ensure anti-Semitism is banned from the human community.”

Francis’ Novus Ordo religion doesn’t begin with the Gospel of John, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,” but begins with the Go-spiel of Elie, “In the beginning was the Holocaust...” Since the holocaust is his standard reference, he must combat anti-semitism (it matter not if it be imagined or real) at all times.   The motto of his noahide Holocaustianity is an inversion of the Jesus’ teachings and His Church’s.  It can be summed up as, ‘forgiveness is never attainable, reparations are never ending, and salvation is only for the chosen ones’.

Embracing Francis to encounter Rabbi Bergoglio

Embrace Francis, to reencounter Bergoglio

He greeted me with an affectionate: “Sergio, I am so glad you are here! Did you sneak in?” And in reality, he was right once more.

It was the first audience of Pope Francis with the leaders of the different religions. There I reencountered the dear Bergoglio. In the impressive setting of the Sala Clementina, the embrace transcended the formality of the protocol greeting so that I could see in his smile and warm gesture the one, who named Pope, was our old Bergolgio. In that way, with the gestures that are so typically his, is warm, direct, intimate. With the good mood of one who does not lose the smile or the spontaneity even from those heights, recuperating in everyone the same open mindedness, to end by asking us all to pray for him. I presented myself only to bless and be grateful for that moment. The embrace crowns the path of he who is my reference, but also the renewed commitment for the challenge that summons us. “Now that I am before Francis, I again embrace my rabbi Bergoglio”, I told him. He gave me a smile and, with his particular sense of humor, received me with a warm: “Sergio, I am so glad you are here! Did you sneak in?”

And in reality, he was right once more.

Without getting into the details, I had not been included in the formal delegation of representatives of Jewish institutions to the Vatican and, faced with the inviolable rigorousness of the Vatican protocol, even with the collaboration of the Argentinean and international leaders of the Jewish community who were present, it was impossible to include my name for the audience, until, as was foreseeable, it was my priest and bishop friends like Monsignor Sanchez Sorondo, who made it known, so that it was Pope Francis himself who instructed the Secretary of State to allow me access, and celebrate in that minimum instant that became eternal so that we could meet and see each other again.

After the embrace, we prayed.

Our millenary Jewish tradition prescribes that we recite a blessing when one is in the presence of a wise man and great master of humanity. So with happiness in my heart and my soul exalted with gratitude, I recited a blessing in Hebrew so that we could end by together saying: Amen.

So much emotion! So much energy! A unique moment that will forever remain in my heart and soul, a fertile furrow in space-time that will bear its fruit in the good harvest of the future.

Pope Francis left us a message full of kindness and love, uniting the Christian churches, even the oriental orthodox ones, which for a millennium had not been present in these moments. Giving unequivocal signs of unity for the ecumenical task in Christianity, he referred to the inter-religious dimension providing a special place for the Jewish-Christian bond.

I am still touched while I write these last lines. The embrace with Francis renews a pact for this new era, the blessing elevated in prayer of a new time where we remain guided by the generous heart of our pastor and master, Pope Francis who is none other than Father Jorge, the loved and valued Bergolgio.

gave his “Adam, where are you?” speech at Yad Vashem.

The Holocaust is the keystone of Francis’ mental framework

...without which, it all falls apart.

We have exhaustively covered how Francis “Who am I to judge?” in fact doesn’t judge anything or anyone unless it goes against his religion of Holocaustianity.  How central the Holocaust is to Francis and his religious framework has been apparent this past week. On Saturday, 16th of June, Francis finished off his address to the Delegation of the Forum of Family Associations with this,

“When I was a boy, the teacher taught us history and told us what the Spartans were doing when a child was born with malformations: they took him to the mountain and threw him down, to keep "the purity of the race". And we were shocked: "But how, how can this be done, [those] poor children!" It was an atrocity. Today we do the same thing. Have you wondered why you do not see many dwarves on the street? Because the protocol of many doctors - many, not all - is to ask the question: "Is he/she bad?". I say this with pain. In the last
century the whole world was scandalized by what the Nazis did to treat the purity of the race. Today we do the same, but with white gloves.”

On Monday, the 18th of June, Francis followed this up with a homily on communication, lies, and evil stating,

“Have last century’s tragedies thought us nothing? Pope Francis cites a glaring example, the persecution of Jews. “A slanderous communication against the Jews; and they ended up in Auschwitz because they did not deserve to live. Oh... it’s a horror, but a horror that happens today: in small societies, in people and in many countries. The first step is to take charge of communication, and after: destruction, judgment, and death.... The Pope’s invitation is therefore to re-read the story of Nabot in the first Book of Kings and then to think and pray for the many victims - men, women, children, entire nations - devastated by “so many dictatorships with “white gloves””.”

Francis cannot differentiate between good and bad because everything is relative.  The only thing he knows with certainty is that the Holocaust was an absolute evil.   It is the standard which he uses as a basis for his judgment of what constitutes evil.  He uses this gold standard as the foundation of all his values and has thereby become an echo chamber of the Holocaust education machine.  When speaking of abortion or slander, it all has relevance only because of the Holocaust.

Francis sees the Holocaust as being the only memory worthy of being a frame of reference and in order for Christians to be forgiven for the Holocaust, Francis wants them to adopt the Noahide laws by hook or by crook.  As the fraud Elie Wiesel once wrote, “In the beginning was the Holocaust...”

There is poison in the mother but her milk is pure?

Are Taylor Marshall’s teachings part of the poison?

“I was doing an examination of conscience before bed,” he explained, describing a common traditional Catholic practice, “and I was thinking on that point of being worried… about the Holy Catholic Church, Mother Church.

“And as I was, suddenly I saw this beautiful woman. She had blond hair, she was perfect, no wrinkles, no spots, and I immediately discerned that this was Holy Mother the Church.

“And she was writhing in pain. She was in a bed, there were sheets on her, and she was very sick. And I noticed that her breasts were engorged with milk, tons of milk. And there were babies and children crying out to her that were hungry. And she wanted to feed them, and she was upset, but she was so sick she could hardly sit up from her bed.

“And then I thought to myself, ‘Oh she’s poisoned, she doesn’t want to nurse the children because then she’ll give them the poison.’ And then there was this voice, it was like God or an angel, I don’t know, and it said, ‘No, the milk is still pure.‘

“And so I saw her there in all of her beauty, but so sick and struggling and loving those children and seeing all that milk stored up there. And I realized that the sacramental graces, the dogma, the doctrine, the morality, all of that in the Church is pure.

“There’s poison in the Church, the Church is hurting, there’s always been some poison in the Church. And Mother Church still loves us and Mother Church still wants to give us milk, and she will, but it’s a difficult time. But the milk is pure. The sacramental graces of Holy Mother Church is pure. She’s still beautiful, she’s still immaculate, there’s still nothing sinful, wrong, or broken with Mother Church. But there has been introduced something into her that is poisonous, and so she’s struggling a little bit.

“So we just need to love Mother Church, and we need to be fed by Mother Church, and be patient, and know that any incorruption that enters the Church does not affect the milk flow. The nutrition that Mother Church gives us is always pure, it’s always unadulterated, we can always trust that until the end of time.

“Hope that’s a comfort to you as it was for me. God bless, bye.”

The Crucified Rabbi: Judaism & the Origins of Catholic 

Christianity by Taylor R. Marshall (2009) epub edition.

Dr. Marshall correctly states the fact that Talmudic Judaism and the faith 

of the Israelites in the Old Testament are not the same. (p. 33)

Here, Taylor Marshall explains that the Old Covenant was once salvific (p. 34) which is contrary to the Gospels, “For if justice be by the law, then Christ died in vain.” (Galatians 2, 21).  Isn’t Marshall’s position a form of Protestant Dispensationalism?

Dr. Marshall finds Talmudic statements, which condemn Gentiles, acceptable and in the next breathe says that as long as Gentiles are not cruel idolators [i.e. worshipers Jesus the Christ] they have a place in the world to come [where they will inherit hell]. (p. 227)

Just what type of milk is Taylor Marshall imbibing if he spouts-off the un-Catholic garbage above?

Audience with Participants in the International Conference on the Responsibility of States, Institutions and Individuals in the fight against anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic hate crimes, 29.01.2018

At 9.15 this morning, in the Consistory Hall of the Apostolic Palace, the Holy Father Francis received in audience the participants in the International Conference on the responsibility of states, institutions and individuals in the fight against anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic hate crimes, held today in Rome at the Ministry of Foreigh Affairs and International Cooperation.

The Conference was organized in cooperation with OSCE, with the support of the ODIHR (Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights) and in collaboration with the Union of Italian Jewish Communities and the Foundation Contemporary Jewish Documentation Centre.

Address of Francis

Dear friends,

I offer you a warm welcome and thank you for your presence here. I am grateful for the noble aim that brings you here: to reflect together, from varying points of view, on the responsibility of States, institutions and individuals in the struggle against anti-Semitism and crimes associated with anti-Semitic hatred. I would like to emphasize one word: responsibility. We are responsible when we are able to respond. It is not merely a question of analyzing the causes of violence and refuting their perverse reasoning, but of being actively prepared to respond to them. Thus, the enemy against which we fight is not only hatred in all of its forms, but even more fundamentally, indifference; for it is indifference that paralyzes and impedes us from doing what is right even when we know that it is right.

I do not grow tired of repeating that indifference is a virus that is dangerously contagious in our time, a time when we are ever more connected with others, but are increasingly less attentive to others. And yet the global context should help us understand that none of us is an island and none will have a future of peace without one that is worthy for all. The Book of Genesis helps us to understand that indifference is an insidious evil crouching at man’s door (cf. Gen 4:7). It is the subject of debate between the creature and his Creator at the beginning of history, as soon as the Creator asks Cain: “Where is your brother?” But Cain, who has just killed his brother, does not reply to the question, does not explain “where”. On the contrary, he protests that he is autonomous: “Am I my brother’s keeper?” (v. 9). His brother does not interest him: here is the root of perversity, the root of death that produces desperation and silence. I recall the roar of the deafening silence I sensed two years ago in Auschwitz-Birkenau: a disturbing silence that leaves space only for tears, for prayer and for the begging of forgiveness.

Faced with the virus of indifference, the root of hatred, what vaccine can we administer? The Book of Deuteronomy comes to our aid. After a long journey through the desert, Moses addressed a basic counsel to the Chosen People: “Remember your whole journey” (Deut 8:2). To the people longing for the promised future, wisdom was suggesting one looks back, turning one’s glance to the steps already completed. And Moses did not simply say, “think of the journey”, but remember, or bring alive; do not let the past die. Remember, that is, “return with your heart”: do not only form the memory in your mind, but in the depths of your soul, with your whole being. And do not form a memory only of what you like, but of “your whole journey”. We have just celebrated International Holocaust Remembrance Day. In order to recover our humanity, to recover our human understanding of reality and to overcome so many deplorable forms of apathy towards our neighbour, we need this memory, this capacity to involve ourselves together in remembering. Memory is the key to accessing the future, and it is our responsibility to hand it on in a dignified way to young generations.

In this regard, I would like to mention a document of the Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews, whose twentieth anniversary of publication we celebrate this year. The title is eloquent: We Remember: a Reflection on the Shoah (16 March 1998). It was Saint John Paul II’s fervent hope that it “would enable memory to play its necessary part in the process of shaping a future in which the unspeakable iniquity of the Shoah will never again be possible” (Letter, 12 March 1998). The text speaks of this memory, which we Christians are called to safeguard, together with our elder Jewish brothers: “However, it is not only a question of recalling the past. The common future of Jews and Christians demands that we remember, for ‘there is no future without memory’. History itself is memoria futuri” (We Remember, I).

To build our history, which will either be together or will not be at all, we need a common memory, living and faithful, that should not remain imprisoned in resentment but, though riven by the night of pain, should open up to the hope of a new dawn. The Church desires to extend her hand. She wishes to remember and to walk together. On this journey, “the Church, mindful of the patrimony she shares with the Jews and moved not by political reasons but by the Gospel’s spiritual love, decries hatred, persecutions, displays of anti-Semitism, directed against Jews at any time and by anyone” (Nostra Aetate, 4).

Dear friends, may we help one another in turn to grow a culture of responsibility, of memory and of closeness, and to establish an alliance against indifference, against every form of indifference. The potentialities of information will certainly be of assistance; even more important will be those of formation. We need urgently to educate young generations to become actively involved in the struggle against hatred and discrimination, but also in the overcoming of conflicting positions in the past, and never to grow tired of seeking the other. Indeed, to prepare a truly human future, rejecting evil is not enough; we need to build the common good together.

I thank you for your commitment in all of these matters. May the Lord of peace accompany you and bless every one of your good intentions. Thank you.

Greg Burke commemorates All Souls’ Day

source: twitter, @GregBurkeRome, 2 November 2017

One shouldn’t be surprised that the director of the Vatican Press Office and Opus (ju)Dei cult member, Greg Burke, chose to post the above photo to his twitter account for All Souls’ Day.  When one’s religion like Francis and Mr. Burke is Holocaustianity, the Faithful Departed, includes the perfidious Talmudic Jews.  Francis wrote in Evangelii gaudium (#247), “We hold the Jewish people in special regard because their covenant with God has never been revoked, for ‘the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable’. The Church... looks upon the people of the covenant and their faith as one of the sacred roots of her own Christian identity.”  The cornerstone of the Novus Ordo edifice is the ‘Holocaust’ and the rabbis’ kabbalistic weapon, Nostra Aetate.

• Francis turns All Souls’ Day into a feast of Holocaustianity

The orthodox rabbis of Talmudic Judaism and Francis work together to fulfill the vision of Maimonides

the ongoing process of turning the Novus Ordo church into Noachides

“that we may work together to fulfill the vision articulated by Maimonides (Rambam) and especially by the prophet Tzefaniah (Zephaniah/Sophonias)”

Rabbi David Shlomo Rosen translating for Rav Dr. Ratzon Arusi in address to Francis during the presentation of ‘Between Jerusalem and Rome: The Shared Universal and the Respected Particular Reflections on 50 Years of Nostra Aetate’.

We at Call Me Jorge... are certain that this sentence went over well with Francis for his daily actions are in agreement with it.  Francis for those who are not aware is a huge fan of Moses Maimonides (Rambam) and in 2004 stated that he admires Maimonides’ open attitude towards other faiths.  What is the Rambam’s open attitude towards other faiths?  Yossi Gurvitz, an Israeli Jew, sums up nicely the Rambams’ beliefs in a video, “Daekei Shalom” (peaceful ways) apply until “Israel is Mighty” resulting in “no mercy!”  Michael Hoffman also writes, “Moses Maimonides was the foremost interpreter of the Jewish Talmud and one of the most implacable enemies of Christ in the annals of Judaism. Maimonides is on record, in his commentary on the Mishnah, calling for the execution of all Christians and hoping that the name of Jesus, the “name of the wicked, shall rot.””  A sample of Maimonides’ open attitude can be gleaned from his extensive writings:

“It is a mitzvah (religious duty highly pleasing to God), to destroy Jewish traitors, minim, and apikorsim, and to cause them to descend to the pit of destruction, since they cause difficulty to the Jews and sway the people away from God, as did Jesus of Nazareth and his students, and Tzadok, Baithos, and their students. May the name of the wicked rot.” (Maimonides, Avodat Kochavim)

“The Christians are idol worshippers and Sunday is their festival.” (Maimonides, Mishneh Torah: Hilchot Avodat Kochavim 9:4)

“Jesus of Nazareth who imagined that he was the Messiah and was executed by the court, was also alluded to in Daniel's prophecies, 'the lawless among your people shall exalt themselves in an attempt to fulfill the vision, but they shall fail. Can there be a greater stumbling block than Christianity?” (Maimonides, Mishneh Torah: Hilchot Melachim 11:4)

“Know that this Christian nation, who are making the claim of a messiah, with all their many different sects, are all idol worshipers and all their holidays are forbidden, and we deal with them regarding religious issues as we would pagans.” (Maimonides, Mishneh, tractate Avoda Zara 1:3)

“Therefore one must know that in every one of the Christian nation’s cities which has an altar, meaning their house of worship, it is a pagan house of idolatry without any doubt.” (Maimonides, Mishneh, tractate Avoda Zara 4)

“The Christians are idol worshipers and Sunday is their religious holiday, therefore in Eretz Israel we may not trade with them on Thursday and Friday of every week, and needless to say on Sunday, which is forbidden [for trade with Christians] everywhere.” Trade in this context refers especially to paying back loans, which would enhance their joy on the day of their idol. (Maimonides, Hayad Hachazaka, Hilchot Avoda Zara 9:4)

“The Christians are worshipers of Avodah Zarah” (Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Ma'akhalot Assurot, 11:7)

“These Muslims [Ishmaelim] are not in any way idolators. [Idolatry] has already been removed from their mouths and their hearts, and they unify G-d in the appropriate manner without any admixture [of idolatrous beliefs].” (Maimonides, Responsa, 448)

“.. a gentile who worships false gods is liable, [for the death penalty] provided he worships them in the accepted manner. A gentile is executed for every type of foreign worship which a Jewish court would consider worthy of capital punishment.” (Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Melachim 11)

And if the above isn’t enough Maimonides, for the dear reader, we suggest reading this excerpt where Maimonides and his noahide law “dictates that an entire city should be wiped out because of the wrongdoing of only one of its inhabitants.”  How’s that for mercy!?

Keep in mind these are the words and beliefs of a rabbi whom Francis highly esteems for his open attitude towards other faiths!  Don’t be mistaken to think this admiration of Maimonides started recently with Francis, for John Paul II was also an admirer of the Rambam.  In a future post, God willing, we will revisit Maimonides and his vision for the Catholic Church as explained by Francis’ roving ambassador, Rabbi Abraham Skorka.

Edited video of the private audience and presentation.

Some of the words of wisdom from Rav Dr. Ratzon Arusi (the rabbi of the city of Kiryat Ono and a member of Israel chief rabbinate council, founder and chairman of the Halichot Am Israel Organization — a movement bringing people closer to Judaism through Talmud study — and delegation member of Between Jerusalem and Rome: The Shared Universal and the Respected Particular Reflections on 50 Years of Nostra Aetate) gave in an interview with Srugim about the 31 August 2017 meeting with Francis:

“It is clear to all that the Catholic Church was one of the strongest forces that poisoned the people of Israel with the venom of hatred.  It was an anti-Semitism that came out of it all the years because the Christians accused us of crucifixion of Jesus, and as a result they determined that we were a traitor and inferior, and hence all hatred was fostered both within the Catholic Church and outside it.”

“The great rabbis of Israel have always found it necessary to meet with popes. The late Rabbi Herzog met with the pope at the time, even though he was not a fan of Israel, and did all in order to try to reduce the hatred. The present pope Francis made a very important statement condemning antisemitism, not only concerning the Jewish people but extended it to all Israelis of the State of Israel, because today our enemies are fighting against us with international terrorism in order to delegitimize us as occupiers and racists. The world is developing anti-Semitism as a result of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the pope's statement on the subject is a huge achievement.”

“The Sages saw Rome and Jerusalem as two diametrically opposing systems, and therefore we revealed within the same historical document the uniqueness and destiny of our people as the people of God, and we mentioned the role of that the Catholic Church had in the past of the hatred that pervades us - and the transformation that began in the 1960s, since the announcement [of Nostra Aetate].”

“We went to deliver this document to the Pope, and at the same time I said that we did not come to obscure the differences between us [Talmudic Judaism] and Christianity, but rather to encourage and nurture the understanding that is becoming more and more crystallized in the Catholic Church regarding the uniqueness of our nation and its chosen people as God’s people. Zephaniah the prophet said, ‘then I will turn to nations ... a clear language ... to call them all in the name of the Lord, to serve one.’ ”

Rabbi Arusi adds that Christianity is far from following the path of [Talmudic] Judaism, because as Maimonides wrote that they are considered idolaters, they have uprooted a large portion of humanity with profane [crude] idolatry. “I told the Pope: If we all believe in one God and worship Him, this is the basis for true peace.”

Any questions on the direction Francis is steering the S.S. Novus Ordo?

Aimé Pallière the “first and last high priest of the Noahide religion”

Aimé Pallière was a French Catholic writer, editor, and journalist born in Lyon, France (17 November 1868) and died in Saint Michel de Frigolet,Tarascon, France (24 December 1949).
He was a practitioner of the Noahide laws and a disciple of Rabbi Elie Benamozegh as well as editor of his book, Israel and Humanity.  Pallière was a collaborator of the Alliance Israélite Universelle under the pseudonym of Elie Loëtmel and president of the Universal Union of Jewish Youth.  He is buried at the Abbey of Saint-Michel-de-Frigolet (Bouches-du-Rhône).  The foreword to his book, The Unknown Sanctuary: A Pilgrimage From Rome to Israel, fills in the rest of the blanks.

pages VII & VIII

Here we have a man who believes that Talmudic Judaism is the source from which the Catholic Faith springs.  Amazingly, the Church of his day didn’t excommunicate Pallière because of his heretical beliefs, instead one of its magazine published his sermon!  And to top it all off, even though he converted to Talmudic Judaism, he is buried at a Catholic abbey!

“The spread of a modified Pharisaism to the ends of the earth has fortunately not prevented the endurance throughout the centuries of the unchanged faith, in Rabbinic Judaism. Pharisaism became Talmudism, Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism, and Medieval Rabbinism became Modern Rabbinism. But throughout these changes of name, inevitable adaptation of custom, and adjustment of Law, the spirit of the ancient Pharisee survives unaltered.”

— Rabbi Dr. Louis Finkelstein, The Pharisees: The Sociological Background of Their Faith, (1940), pp. xx & xxi

Below is are two excerpts of letters from Rabbi Elie Benamozegh to Aimé Pallière published in the same book mentioned above, The Unknown Sanctuary: A Pilgrimage From Rome to Israel.  The rabbi writes to Aimé stating that future of the human race lies in the gentiles following the man-made noahide laws of the rabbis.

pp. 134-37

pp. 141-42

Wow!  Keep in mind that Aimé, who lapped these heresies up and spread them among his Catholic circles, was never excommunicated!  Following are excerpts from the conclusion of The Unknown Sanctuary: A Pilgrimage From Rome to Israel.  The total apostasy of Pallière makes itself evident in his bizarre nightmare of a fantasy where: Islam & Catholicism come to realize they originate from the same Talmudic root whom they borrow any truths that they possess from; equates Yom Kippur to the death of Our Lord Jesus the Christ on Good Friday; dreams of Jesus the Christ becoming aware that he isn’t the messiah; sees Hillel, the pharisee and father of rabbinic Judaism, as a saint (the SSPX would agree!); and concludes with the words of his spiritual master, Rabbi Elie Benamozegh, that mankind will not come to terms with itself until it adopts the noahide laws!

This is only scratches the surface of Aimé Pallière’s obsession with Talmudic Judaism and the noahide laws.  For the curious researcher who wants a starting point of where else to investigate  Pallière, we suggest starting at The Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives in Cincinnati, Ohio in Manuscript Collection No. 19 Box 29 Folder 4, which contains the correspondences between Rabbi Stephen Samuel Wise and Aimé Pallière.
