Today is the 75th Anniversary of the Sunday upon which the Dutch Hierarchy had ordered a Pastoral Letter to be read in all their churches, protesting vigorously and explicitly against the Nazi persecution of Dutch Jewry.
Not surprisingly, this Letter sent the Nazi authorities into paroxysms of rage.
It contained a sentiment which equally infuriates the currently dominant faction in the Catholic Church, and in particular, so we are told, the German and English hierarchies.
It hoped for the Conversion of the Jews.

ReplyDeleteI cannot see why they are so opposed to the conversion of the Jews.Again this is the conceits of being P.C taking precedence over the mission of the Church. How much longer must we have our leaders avoiding the parts of the Catholic faith which are at variance with society at large? Will the good Friday prayers be finally removed ?
