Catholic Cardinals, Jewish Rabbis Meet in New York 26.01.2004

Jewish-Christian Relations Insights and Issues in the ongoing Jewish-Christian Dialogue Catholic Cardinals, Jewish Rabbis Meet in New York 26.01.2004 A group of eight Roman Catholic cardinals from Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America met with Jewish rabbis and scholars from Europe, Israel, and North and South America in a "World Symposium of Catholic Cardinals and Jewish Leaders" held in New York on January 19-20, 2004. The meeting was initiated by Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger of Paris and hosted by the World Jewish Congress. Participants included Cardinals Philippe Barbarin (France), Christoph Schonborn (Austria), Ivan Dias (India), Alexandre do Nascimento (Angola), Marc Ouellet (Canada), Francis E. George (USA), and Theodore E. McCarrick (USA), as well as other Catholic scholars and leaders. Jewish participants included former Chief Rabbi Meir Lau of Israel, Chief Rabbi Gilles Bernheim of Paris, Chief Rabbi Jacob Dov Bleich of Ukraine, Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt of Moscow, Chief Rabbi Henry I. Sobel of Brazil, and Rabbi Adin Steinsalz of Israel. The meeting was held at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in lower Manhattan, and included a visit to the nearby Ground Zero as well as to Yeshiva University, an Orthodox Jewish institution headed by Rabbi Norman Lamm. While not officially sponsored by the Vatican, the symposium received greetings from high Vatican officials, including Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Participants in the meeting stated that its aim was not to discuss doctrine or policy but to build relationships and to offer these Catholic and Jewish leaders an opportunity to speak face to face. Representatives of both communities were asked to address the question, "Which is the greatest commandment?"

Pourtant, ce natif d’Aix-les-Bains (Savoie), aujourd’hui âgé de 60 ans, parle avec émotion de ses parents et de ceux qui l’ont « construit ».Son père, courtier en bois, et sa mère, professeur de mathématiques, « curieux de tout »et « amoureux du savoir »,qui lui ont donné le goût de la vie. Juifs alsaciens originaires d’Europe de l’Est, ils respectaient rigoureusement les lois du judaïsme. Gilles Bernheim se souvient par exemple que le jour de shabbat, lui et son frère, scolarisés à l’école publique, allaient en classe, mais restaient les bras croisés pour se conformer aux règles du shabbat qui interdisent d’écrire ou de porter un cartable. Plus tard, après des études rabbiniques à Paris menées de front avec des études de philosophie, c’est en Israël qu’il rencontre Joëlle, « la femme de sa vie »,avec qui il aura quatre enfants, et celui qu’il considère comme son « vrai maître » :le rav Yehiel Landa, un vieil homme discret, originaire de Lituanie, qui « éveille en lui des questions »et l’invite à aller toujours plus loin dans l’étude des grands auteurs du Talmud. UNE HEURE PAR JOUR D’ÉTUDE DU TALMUD Il y aura encore bien d’autres rencontres, lumineuses ou fondatrices, comme celle de malades du sida qu’il a longtemps accompagnés.

To Better Protect God’S People
To better protect God’s people When future historians write their histories of U.S. Catholicism, some may give Gilbert Gauthe a paragraph all to himself. Not for anything honorable that he did, but for something supremely dishonorable: He, as much as anyone, transformed sexual abuse of a minor by a Catholic priest from a personal disgrace into a national scandal. The story of this scandal is disturbing and complex. Even as the number of new cases has apparently dropped, bishops have found themselves struggling to cope with the consequences of earlier offenses that were covered up. Now even Pope Francis stands accused of not responding quickly enough, and Germany and Chile have joined the ranks of countries where the Church has abuse scandals on its hands. What follows is an overview of the history of this scandal in the United States, for the benefit of people trying to make sense of it all. It’s a perspective the bishops themselves will need as they gather in Baltimore the second full week of November for their fall general meeting. This issue is expected to dominate the agenda. Pope St. John Paul II speaks with Cardinal Bernard Law in 2002 in the pope’s private library at the Vatican. Cardinal Law had been one of the United States’ most powerful and respected bishops until his legacy was blemished by the devastating sexual abuse of minors by priests in his Archdiocese of Boston. CNS photo via L’Osservatore Romano A 1980s ‘aberration’ Start with Gilbert Gauthe. Although by no means the first abuser priest, he was the first to receive national attention as the specifics of his misdeeds and the bungling of his superiors became known.

Annual Report 2008 Genocide in Which Six Million European Jews Were Exter- Minated
We, women and men in public life, historians, intellectuals and people from all faiths, have come together to declare that the defence of values of justice and fraternity must overwhelm all obstacles to prevail over intolerance, racism and conflict. We say clearly that the Israelis and the Palestinians have a right to their own state, their own sovereignty and security and that any peace process with such aims must be supported. In the face of ignorance, prejudice and competing memories that we reject, we believe in the power of knowledge and the primacy of History. We there- fore affirm, beyond all political considerations, our deter- mination to defend historical truth, for no peace is built on lies.The Holocaust is a historical fact: the annual rePorT 2008 genocide in which six million European Jews were exter- minated. To deny this crime against humanity is not only an insult to the memory of the victims, but also an insult to the very idea of civilization. Hence, we believe that the teaching of this tragedy concerns all those who have at heart the will to prevent further genocides. The same requirement of truth calls on us to recall the actions of the Righteous in Europe and in the Arab and Muslim world. Together, we declare our common desire to promote a sincere dialogue, open and fraternal. It is in this spirit 10, avenue Percier that we have gathered around the Aladdin Project.

In a recent interview our Holy Father, Pope Francis, employed a graphic image to describe the Bishop of Saskatoon role of the Church in reaching out to the wounded: Most Rev.

David Tumback injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars! You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else. Heal the wounds, Associate Pastor heal the wounds.” 1 Fr. Colin Roy Cathedral Administrator (The Pope’s words are part of a larger section concerning his thoughts on the Church, which I Patrick Clarke recommend you read in context – see footnote below). Pastoral Associate The above image evokes within us a sense of urgency in our response to suffering. In a sense Garth Horn we are to be like medics on the frontlines searching for the fallen and tending to their wounds.

THE HISTORY OF BEIT HAVERIM MARTINE GROSS Jewish law condemns homosexuality, it is an “abomination”, to quote the Leviticus (18, 22 and 20, 13). Homosexual acts are perceived by orthodox Judaism as a serious violation of Jewish law. Other branches of Judaism1 interpret the Bible’s verdict more or less severely (Gross, 2007a). Given the apparent incompatibility between Judaism and homosexuality, one might expect that Jewish identity would be kept at arm’s length or that Jewish homosexuals would repress their homosexuality. Yet the very existence of Beit Haverim, the Jewish gay and lesbian group of France, contradicts that intuition. How was the group formed and what are its relations with the institutions of the Jewish community in France? The object of this chapter is to retrace the group’s history from the point of view of its relations with the Rabbinic authorities, with the Jewish institutions of France, with other homosexual associations, not forgetting to take into account its members’ expectations as well.
