On Taking a Selfie with Pope Francis by Jenn Lindsay

Recently I attended an audience with Pope Francis with the International Council of Christians and Jews. It was my second audience, as I had also gained access to the Vatican’s elaborate reception room through the Pontifical Institute for the Study of Arabic and Islam.

The journey into the heart of the Vatican evoked the Christian theological principle of advent, as we advanced through the Borgia courtyard and drew higher up the staircases into the lavishly painted coatroom and excitement mounted buzzingly amidst the group. I followed the sea of bobbing yarmulkes through the ornate hallways. In the reception room they asked us not to take pictures, but of course when Pope Francis entered everyone stood and went bananas with their cell phone cameras, iPads, camcorders, etc.

One of the conference leaders read a statement to Pope Francis thanking him for his time, and three gifts were presented, one jointly to Pope Francis and Rabbi Abraham Skorka, a member of the ICCJ with whom he wrote On Heaven and Earth, a book on Jewish-Christian dialogue, back when he was still Bergoglio, Archbishop of Argentina.

After the presentation of gifts, Pope Francis rose from his simple chair—not the ornate throne that his predecessors have used—and faced the audience in front of a microphone. He welcomed the group to Rome, speaking in Italian: “Here in Rome, we also find the most ancient Jewish community in Western Europe, whose origins can be traced to the time of the Maccabees. Christians and Jews therefore have lived together in Rome for almost two thousand years, even though their relations in the course of history have not been without difficulty.” He invoked the conference theme, “50 Years since Nostra Aetate,” the Vatican II declaration of respect for non-Catholic religions, which helped Christians and Jews begin to heal the “fragmented humanity, mistrust and pride” that divided them for 2,000 years. The Pope spoke of how Christians and Jews have their differences —“The Christian confessions find their unity in Christ; Judaism finds its unity in the Torah”— but together they “confess one God…And he, in his infinite goodness and wisdom, always blesses our commitment to dialogue.”

Then the Vatican guards announced that Pope Francis would take time to greet everybody in the room personally. There were about 250 people. A few months ago, when I attended the audience with the Pontifical Institute for the Study of Arabic and Islam, the pope only greeted the speakers and the bigwigs, so I was surprised and thrilled. For an hour, Pope Francis took the time to greet every single person in the room, which, in this heat, under those vestments, was very generous. In my opinion, this choice reflects a deeper friendship and investment in the relationship between Catholics and Jews, which is consistent with the Church since the Second Vatican Council. At the Council, special commissions were established to develop and support this relationship, as it was recognized that Christians and Jews share a common ancestry and have been notably in conflict throughout Western history.

From the sidelines, I watched Pope Francis continue to greet people tirelessly, animated and attentive with every last person. When Rabbi Skorka approached Papa Francesco, they embraced passionately—they are old friends, joking and smiling, each joyful in the reunion. They also happen to be religious leaders of different religions—so their friendship is symbolic as well as genuine.

The guards formed lines, row by row, and I drew closer to Pope Francis. I would receive, at most, about a minute with him, so I got ready to ask if he would take a selfie with me. I rehearsed my line: Lei può fare un selfie con me? When the line emptied and I was suddenly face-to-face with Pope Francis, staring into his gentle face, I had a Beatlemania blackout moment. I joyfully cried out CIAO!! to him, instead of the more formal Italian salve. He chuckled at me and reached for my hand.

I asked Pope Francis if we could take a selfie together and he respectfully looked at his official photographer for permission. Luckily the photographer was totally into it. I believe they took pictures of us taking a selfie and other people took photos of them taking photos of us taking selfies. Somewhere in the cosmos there is an infinite regression of my selfie with Pope Francis.

My impressions: He is very sweet, soft spoken, grandfatherly, seems tired, has lost weight since I saw him in February, is shorter than I expected, and has the softest hand I’ve ever shaken.

Amidst the looming Swiss Guards, the encounter was a blur. Still, afterward I glowed for hours. It was thrilling to follow the selfie as it exploded on Facebook, almost 300 people liking it and sharing it within hours.

The next day I had a strange feeling. Was it post-popum depression? I had guilt pangs about asking Pope Francis for a selfie, like I had objectified him or used him. I worried I contributed to his depletion, that I just took and didn’t give anything. Not that saying one sentence would have been more substantive. But for some reason I felt that I profaned him! My Christian friend Kristen Leigh Southworth straightened me out. She texted me breathlessly, No way, Pope F is un-profane-able!!! He is a down-to-Earth pope—that’s like his whole thing….He is a true vicar of Christ. Jesus would totally have let you do a selfie.

In a moment of Jewish-Christian dialogue that I cherish, my brilliant friend Kristen got to the theological heart of my ambivalence about taking a selfie with the vicar of Christ:

“It’s hard to have a genuine experience of anything, but especially something particularly special or ‘sacred’ or once-in-a-lifetime. Real holiness always breaks through the mundane. And when you want or expect to have a big holy moment, it always turns out to have a little mundane mixed in there. And that can be disappointing. Like…really, that’s it? This was supposed to be major and life changing and holy! So you can start to think, maybe I did something wrong? I should have done it differently… Been more present to the moment… Something…. But what? I probably would have thought up some intelligently effusive thing to say to him in my head, and when I got up there I would have chickened out and it would have come out all garbled and inaudible and I only would have mumbled something like, “I like Jesus and I like you too.” And he would smile kindly and shake my hand and I would have walked away in some sort of daze, wishing I had kept my mouth shut and taken a selfie with him.

There is nothing wrong with being a fan. That’s why he’s there. That’s literally the reason for the pope to exist. To be an emblem. A face. The vicar of Christ. Someone for people to see. He really gets that. That’s why he goes out to the people, the way Jesus did. The point is for him to both be on the pedestal, and to flip it.”

My selfie with Pope Francis has been clicked and liked round the world. My parents sent it to all their friends. I’ve been in touch with people I haven’t talked to for years, all of whom are radiating with excitement about suddenly being one degree of separation from this fine public figure. This selfie drew forth from my dear Kristen a hot surge of wisdom and insight.

I think it has paid for itself.

Pope Francis was dedicated and generous enough to personally greet all 250 people in his reception room that summer afternoon, though he looked depleted about halfway through our group. When I went to www.photo.va to download official photos of taking a selfie with him, I noted that ours was only one of three audiences the same day. On the photographer’s back calendar, there were multiple official events, audiences, addresses, visits, trips, and interviews scheduled every single day for years. It makes sense that he looks tired. I imagine this valiant, beautiful, earnest 79.5-year-old is pushing himself beyond depletion to fulfill the holy burdens of his sacred office.

Knowing this, seeing Pope Francis up close, sharing a spontaneous moment of humor and co-creation together, and watching his effort to be fully present for all who approached him, makes especially poignant the final words of his address to the International Council of Christians and Jews: “May the Lord bless you and keep you in his peace. I ask you please to pray for me. Thank you.”

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach met with Francis

(click images to enlarge)

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.

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.

Francis like Rabbi Abraham Heschel ‘wants to attack Christians' souls’

The book, Pope Francis and Interreligious Dialogue Religious Thinkers Engage with Recent Papal Initiatives, edited by Harold Kasimow and Alan Race contains a foreword by Rabbi Abraham Skorka.  In the conclusion of the foreword (p. xxi) Rabbi Skorka writes, “I gave him several books by Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, the great prophetical master of the twentieth century, and Heschel’s name frequently cam up in our conversations.”  Truer words couldn’t have been written.  For if there is one well from which Francis consistently draws his anti-Catholic, heretical, and blasphemous ideas from it is Hasidism.  In a 4 January 1965 interview for Ma'ariv conducted by Geula Cohen, Rabbi Abraham Heschel had this explanation for his dialogue with Catholics, “There are those who would like to attack [Christians’] bodies.  I want to attack [Christians’] souls.”  Francis like his dead spiritual mentor wants to attack Christians’ souls and turn the world into one giant Yiddish ghetto.  There’s good reason he’s referred to by Talmudists as “the great Rabbi Bergoglio”.

Celebrating with his 

Talmudic & Kabbalist friends!

 The international delegation from Menora and the birthday boy at Casa Santa Marta.

Rabbi Isaac Sacca is the Senior Rabbi of the Sephardic Jews in Argentina & the founder and president of Menora, Organización Judía Mundial para la Juventud (Menora, World Jewish Organization for Youth).  The purpose of Menora is to spread the Talmud and the Kabbalah among the Jewish youth of the world by educating them about their powers.  Sacca brought a group of his fellow Talmudic Jews who back his causes to the Vatican to meet with Francis as well as celebrate his 80th birthday with a kosher cake, of course! This post from Sacca’s website explains it:

Pope Francis received Rabbi Isaac Sacca and an international delegation from Menorah, with representatives from Argentina, the United States, England and Italy. 

For more than an hour, they discussed, among other things, about the idea of ​​Argentina exporting to the world its capacity for harmony and peace among different faiths. They also talked on education initiatives for tolerance and respect among peoples and different action plans to make the society noble, just and inclusive. 

Rabbi Sacca gave Pope Francis a replica of the Birkat Kohanim (Blessing of Priests) from the oldest Bible found. 

The colored note was the kosher cake that Rabbi Sacca and the delegation of Menora presented to the Pope for his birthday, which read: H.H. Pope Francis Happy Birthday. 

Pope Francis gave each guest a coin of the Jubilee. 

It has been another unforgettable encounter between Pope Francis and Rabbi Sacca, two religious who seek to leave a message of hope to the world, based on deep knowledge, infinite merciful faith, sincere respect and a proactive action for the common good.

Expected meeting between Pope Francis and the Chief Rabbi Isaac Sacca, Isaac Sacca.com, 16 December 2016

In 1979 Gabriel Barkay found two tiny silver scroll amulets with different versions of the Birkat Hakohanim dating back to the 7th century B.C. at the Ketef Hinnom archaeological site southwest of the Old City of Jerusalem, Israel.  Above is a photograph of the scroll KH2 with transcription of its letters. 

A unidentified Orthodox Jew performing the Birkat Hakohanim.

The two old friends probably also discussed Halaka.

Francis must have been tickled pink to have received a replica of the Birkat Kohanim.

They had to celebrate the birthday one day early because it fell on the Jewish Sabbath.

Don’t worry it was kosher and from Francis’ favorite Jewish restaurant in Rome, Ba’Ghetto.

Kiko Argüello celebrates Talmudic Judaism & Noahide Holocaustianity

The Neocatechumenal Way celebrates its 40th anniversary of its arrival in Berlin with a concert performance of ‘The Suffering of the Innocents’, a symphony by its founder, Kiko Argüello.  The symphony, ‘The Suffering of the Innocents’ presents Talmudic Judaism as if it is the Old Testament religion practiced by the Holy Family.  Can you imagine Jesus the Christ praying to Hashem (i.e. The Name)?  Or the Blessed Virgin Mary abandoning her son, Jesus, at the foot of Cross in order that she can cry with the Talmudic Jews (who brag they killed her son, see Talmud Sanhedrin 43a (Steinsaltz Edition) page 158 & page 159) in the ‘gas chambers’ while they recite the Shema Yisrael? (Which is a denial of the divinity of Jesus the Christ.)  Look no further than the absurd mockery composed by Kiko Argüello.  He and the rabbis have been bringing the altar of the ‘Holocaust’ to the members of the Neocatechumenal Way and the world for years, masquerading as Catholicism. The Neocatechumenal Way sells itself as having rediscovered early Christianity — converting pagans into Christians — when the reality is the Neocatechumenal Way converts gentiles into noahide members of Holocaustianity who look to their Christ denying and Christ killing ‘elder brothers’ for guidance.  Francis, Benedict XVI, and John Paul II love this garbage.  It’s not a stretch to say that they are in agreement with the rabbis in cursing those who don’t go along with this charade.  If these outright falsehoods, accepted and celebrated by the hierarchy and pewsitters of the Novus Ordo, don’t send cold shivers down your spine, what would?

 (underlines are ours for emphasis)

Francis’ message 

To His Excellency Most Reverend Msgr. Heiner Koch, Archbishop of Berlin 

Pope Francis has joyfully heard that the execution of the symphony "The Suffering of the Innocents" by Kiko Argüello is to be held in Berlin and greets all those who agreed to the occasion of this event at the Berliner Philharmonie. Rooted in tradition and inspired by biblical lamentations, this symphony commemorates the many victims of the Shoah. Never must the memory of the atrocious violence, the indescribable pain and the extermination of a people cease. It is rather a constant warning to all of us of a commitment to reconciliation, mutual understanding and love towards the "elder brothers", the Jews, and at the same time to a life dedicated to the suffering, the needy and all those who from the profound yearning to salvation. 

With the best personal wishes.

A message from the composer, Kiko Argüello 

Dear brothers and sisters: How could I presume to compose music? Is it my pride? Or my vanity? Be that as it may, an elderly priest once told me: “Never avoid doing good for fear of vanity, because that comes from the devil.” 

To do good...” Is it good to try to compose music? I present to you a small musical composition, which I would like to be a homage to the suffering of the innocents. Can music, perhaps, say something more profound on such a significant theme...? The suffering of the innocents... The philosopher Sartre said: “Woe to the man whom the anger of God crushes against the wall,” and Nietzsche: “If God exists and does not help those who suffer, he is a monster, and if he cannot help them, he is not God, he does not exist.” 

To be crushed against the wall. Men lying on the street, dying of cold. Children abandoned and housed in horrific orphanages, where they suffer violence and are abused. That woman, whom I knew in that neighborhood, suffering from Parkinson's disease, abandoned by her husband, whose mentally-ill son beat her with a stick, and was begging for alms. I was overwhelmed… 

What a mystery the suffering of so many innocents who bear the sin of others: incest, a violence unheard of, that line of naked women and children going towards the gas chamber, and that deep pain of one of the guards who was hearing inside his heart a voice: get in line with them and go with them to die; and he did not know where that voice was coming from… 

Many say that after the horror of Auschwitz it is no longer possible to believe in God. No! It is not true! 

In this symphony, Mary is portrayed totally submitted to the scandal of the suffering of the innocents in her own flesh. “Oh, what pain!” a voice sings as a sword pierces her soul, united to all the mothers that watched their children being killed in the concentration camps, that wept while singing Shema Yisrael. We wish to offer this work as a bridge of love and reconciliation.

Two rabbis comment on ‘The 

Suffering of the Innocents’ in 2012

Rabbi David Rosen  

 Rabbi Irving Greenberg

Transforming sins into merits

“Reish Lakish said: “Great is תשובה (repentance) because it transforms זדונות (premeditated sins) into שגגות (inadvertent transgressions)”. Oh Really? Didn’t he also say? “Great is תשובה  (repentance) because it transforms premeditated sins into זכויות (merits)”? There is no contradiction. The first one refers to “Teshuva Meyir’ah” (out of fear of G-d), the other refers to “Teshuva Me’ahava” (out of love for G-d)...the other statement of Reish Lakish is pretty puzzling. How can it be that every sin turns into a Mitzva? One can have life of unlimited hedonism, sins and transgressions, and yet, all of the sudden, by doing this ultimate Teshuva, every single sin is considered as a Mitzva. What is the sense of that?...Rabbi Yoseph Dov Soloveitchik discusses this matter in “Al HaTeshuvah.”...In this kind of Teshuva, one does not return but rather continues. Instead of suffocating the fire and desires of the sins, one can uplift and elevate them. Behind every sin there is much negative energy, which was invested in the sin. Sometimes that energy is stronger than the positive energies, which we put in the Mitzvot. The sinner can try to channel and convert that negative energy to Kedusha (sanctity). With the same passion one used to hate, envy and covet, he can now perform the Mitzvot. The evil of transgressions can be transformed into a powerful and steady catalyst for learning Torah [Talmud]. His Torah [Talmud] will be more “juicy” because the strong energies of sin will be now part of his Torah [Talmud]. In that sense, retroactively, every single sin is considered to be a Mitzva because now one knows how to redirect the sinful energy. This method requires one to remember his sins. When a person does Teshuvah, it can bring him closer to Hashem [the Name], more than he ever dreamt...If we are able to do “Teshuva Me’ahava”, we can transform every sin to a merit, as Rabbi Yochanan told Reish Lakish while trying to be Mekarev (reach out to) him : “Your strength should be devoted to Torah [Talmud].” (Bava Metzia 84a) — Rabbi Ronen Neuwirth

What book did Francis receive from Rabbi Pynchas Brener?

(click images to enlarge)

If there is one thing Francis loves, it’s Talmudic books!

Back in 2015, we briefly reported on the visit of a rabbi to the Vatican, see Pynchas Brener becomes rabbi #89,324 to visit Francis at the Vatican.  Being a good guest (even though he invited himself), Rabbi Pynchas Brener, the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Caracas, Venezuela, came bearing gifts for Francis.  One of these was a book, Agadá: Zuron Yosef y Rajel. Below is the best photo we could find over on the Vatican’s official website for photographs.  As you can see, the book can be readily identified by its colorful cover design.

UNION ISRAELITA DE CARACAS, photo #00615_16022015

It should come as no surprise that Francis is correctly opening the book 

backwards as he is very familiar with Talmudism and knows all its minutiae.

The book presented to Francis is a Sephardic Agadá (haggadah) for the seder meal.  It was made in Latin America and has direct translations from Hebrew to Ladino with explanatory notes in Spanish by Rabbi Pychas Brener.  The book contains the history and rules regarding the seder and how it leads the Jewish people out of oppression to redemption.  When covering the fundamental themes of the seder, the book delves further into Jewish thought and explains the laws that lead to the observance of this festival which it suggests are unique and brings freedom.  The illustrations in the book were carried out by Irene Pressner.  On Rabbi Brener’s website it brags, “A copy of this Agadá is in the Vatican library.”

This however wasn’t the only gift which Francis received from rabbi Pynchas.

source: facebook, RabbiBrener, 16 February 2018

CMJ translation:  “I gave him a Haggadah of Pesach (seder) and a Kippah, in the name of friendship and good relations between nations. Soon I will publish the words I said in front of the Pope.”

 Francis was more than happy to receive a kippah from the rabbi!

Francis must have been doing cartwheels in ecstasy!  To receive not one but two Talmudic and anti-Catholic gifts at one time.  For those unfamiliar with how anti-Christian the seder meal is — please see, Raymond the Rabbi attends Seder Meal, and scroll down until you read the header — Burke attends Seder Meal.  In that post the seder is covered and how it: was created after the destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70 and was finalized in the 3rd century A.D.; is an anti-Gentile curse; contains occult symbolism; is magic; tells the tale of the drowning of Christians by Prophet Elijah; celebrates Talmudic freedom — which is a far cry from how Catholics define freedom; etc...  We doubt this book ever made it to the Vatican’s library as we believe Francis probably keeps it bedside.

The second gift was a kippah.  Notice this is what the rabbi wrote on his facebook page that he gave him “a kippah” — nothing was said about a zucchetto.  Both Francis and Brener are educated enough to know the difference between the two.  If the reader isn’t familiar with what the difference is and what the kippah represents — please see, the kippah or the yarmulke — an outward sign of rejection of Our Savior, Jesus the Christ.  Knowing how much Francis is into the occult and how much he enjoys mocking Our Savior Jesus the Christ, we bet Francis has worn the kippah many times in public and almost laughed his inner-Jew out of himself as he pulled off another burlesque jest on his unsuspecting and adoring public.

Rabbi Abraham Skorka and his sin of omission

Rabbi Skorka has said publicly that he is Francis “roving ambassador” but it is more truthful to say that he’s Francis’ handler.  The rabbi gave a lecture, Nostra Aetate, past and future, at the International Council of Christians and Jews’ (ICCJ) Rome Conference 2015: ‘The 50th Anniversary of Nostra Aetate: The Past, Present and Future of the Christian-Jewish Relationship’.  In this speech Skorka explained that Christianity has play a key role in anti-semitism and that the Shoah demonstrates the futility of Christianity — its moral bankruptcy.  During his talk Skorka trots out the old canard that all the evidence of Pius XII has never been seen and states that,

“the issue of the role played by perennial Christian antisemitism in providing a seedbed for twentieth-century Nazi racism still awaits full exploration. A clear and unambiguous reckoning by Christians of all denominations is still expected by Jews with regard to all the components of Christian anti-Semitism, not only those found in the Patristic literature, but also those contributory elements that can be found in the New Testament, such as...”

Skorka then concludes with the following:

“For Catholics, the new approach and dialogue with Jews based on Nostra Aetate's theological statements, opens a theological quest: Since the "Old Covenant" has never been revoked, what does the living faith and practice of the Jewish People today mean for Christian faith and self-understanding? For Jews, the new relationship means to take more to heart Maimonides’ statement in his authoritative Code :

 It is beyond the human mind to fathom the designs of the Creator; for our ways are not His ways, neither are our thoughts His thoughts. All these matters relating to Jesus of Nazareth and the Ishmaelite (Mohammed) who came after him served to clear the way for King Messiah, to prepare the whole world to worship God with one accord, as it is written, “For then will I turn to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord to serve Him with one consent” (Zephaniah 3: 9) Thus the messianic hope, the Torah, and the commandments have become familiar topics –topics of conversation (among the inhabitants) of the far islands of many peoples . . .

There is still a long way before us until Nostra Aetate in its body and spirit will be incorporated into the heart of all the churches and parishes throughout the world, and to become a deeper challenge for Jewish vision on Christianity.

But still, the next step must be to think and to analyze the present dramatic moment in humankind’s history in order to continue paving a way for a better future. We have been given an opportunity to be "a blessing to one another," as John Paul II put it. It is therefore our duty in the years ahead to make the most of this unprecedented moment.”

We will only concern ourselves with the quote from Maimonides.  He uses the partial Maimonides quote taken entirely out of its context to sell the idea that Christianity is a branch of Judaism which will one day return to ‘true Temple worship’ in Jerusalem.  Unsaid in his speech but footnoted for the statement from Maimonides is: “Hilkhot Melakhim 11: 4, according the uncensored editions of Soncino 5250 (1490), Constantinopolis 5269 (150 9) and Amsterdam 5462 (1702). The translation was taken from Herschel’s essay quoted in the footnote No. 28, p. 248.”  The essay of Abraham Heschel referred to is “No Religion is an Island” published in “Abraham Joshua Heschel, Moral Grandeur and Spiritual Audacity, edited by Susannah Heschel, Farrar, Straus & Giroux, New York, 1996, p. 248”.  Here we have Skorka admit that there are uncensored editions of Maimonides quote however he uses Heschel’s edited one.  In 2012 Skorka published a paper titled, “Jewish Identity and Jewish-Christian Dialogue A View from Argentina”.  This paper examines Heschel’s “No Religion is an Island” and the themes it contains.  In it Skorka refers to the same quote, states that it only appears in uncensored editions of the Maimonides’ Mishneh Torah, and then quotes it from the Chabad-Lubutavitcher website:

“Ultimately, all the deeds of Jesus of Nazareth and that Ishmaelite [Mohammed] who arose after him will only serve to prepare the way for Mashiach’s [the Messiah’s] coming and the improvement of the entire world, motivating the nations to serve God together as Tzephaniah 3:9 states: “I will transform the peoples to a purer language that they all will call upon the name of God and serve Him with one purpose [Lit.: shoulder to shoulder].””

Here is where Rabbis Skorka’s sin of omission come into play.  The following is the quote in its context.

To which we add that the Chabad website referenced prefaces the above with,

source: Chabad, Melachim uMilchamot - Chapter 11, 4

Wow!  Skorka blames the Shoah on the Christians, has the chutzpah to state that all Christian denominations need to have their New Testament and writings of the early church fathers reexamined in order to cleanse, “[their] soul[s] of its role in contributing to anti-Semitism.”  Skora then has the audacity to be duplicitous towards his Christian audiences concerning what Talmudists truly believe about Jesus the Christ.   One can see from this that Conservative Judaism (Masorti Judaism) which Skorka professes isn’t very different from its kissing cousin Hasidism — for they are both Talmudic, lying, and deny Our Lord and Savior.  When will the ravings of the rabbis and their various Talmudic religions be reexamined by Catholics so they can be purged of their anti-Goyimism?

Don’t think for one instant that Francis is ignorant of any of this.  Recall in September 2017, Francis sat approvingly as Rav Dr. Ratzon Arusi said, “that we may work together to fulfill the vision articulated by Maimonides.”  Also, when he was but the cardinal archbishop of Buenos Aires he attended a museum exhibit in 2004 on Maimonides and a few years later in 2008 accepted the Maimonides Award for Inter-religious Dialogue!  Is it any wonder that Rabbi Skorka is Francis’ close personal friend?
