I wish had seen this item posted by Deacon Greg Kandra over on
The Deacon's Bench before my post yesterday. I remain dismayed and a bit distraught over what seems to be a much too hasty reconciliation. Deacon Greg's post is
SSPX website: "Judaism is inimical to all nations in general". From this article, entitled
The Mystery of the Jewish People in History, which is still posted as of this morning on the SSPX's American website:
"If the unrepentant Jewish people are disposed by God to be a theological enemy, the status of this opposition must be universal, inevitable, and terrible."If the Jewish people, even the so-called
"unrepentant" ones, have been
"disposed by God to be a theological enemy," then God is capricious and unreliable, which, of course, He is not. One cannot twist what St. Paul writes to mean that God has disposed the Jewish people to oppose him. Anti-Semitism inevitably leads to theological error, known as heresy, as the quote above indicates, but more troubling is that it is simply racist, which is gravely sinful.
Seán Cardinal O'Malley, the archbishop of Boston and a Catholic blogger, puts this controversy in proper perspective in his post
It is never too late to Arise!
