Within the last 2 days,the (I dinno: was it USA only?) some major group of RC Bishops in union w/ a National association of Rabbis, issued the page A1 statement that, after 2 millennia of persecuting the Jews, Catholicism has now decided (:that sect whose dogmas never change: Cardinal Outlaw SAID so, at Toronto!) that christianity doesn't need to & isn't SUPPOSED to convert the Jews = That their initial "OT" covenant took care of it for them, WITHOUT Jesus. Breathtaking, in'n it? . A damn good thing JPII didn't canonize Isabella the Catholic! After all, it's taken only 2000 years to decide that that dogma was WRONG! Let's hear it >>>> "As the Cheuch has always taught...." So when are they going to give up on the perpetual virginity of that plaster Jewess?

Actually, Abe, I think he was reaffirming an existing policy. I first heard of the "separate covenant" doctrine a few years ago. Still it's a far cry from the outright persecution of the Inquisition or the tacit approval the Catholic Church gave to European anti-semitism and the Holocaust.

The idea that Catholic dogma never changes is the usual priestly propaganda. The church allowed woman priests and bishops into the fourth century, for example.

I'm watching Pat Robertson talk about this. He's against it.

He also says that muslims are extremists.
