Kesher Talk

Mark Shea reflects on "Reflections On Covenant And Mission." Mark thinks out loud about a recent Catholic statement on converting Jews. Scroll down and read several previous posts by Mark and his readers on the subject to get the full impact.

Now, I don't know much about the ins and outs of Catholic theology, so I am in no position to judge:
1) what the letter actually said.
2) if it said what Mark thinks it said
3) if Mark's attempts to fit it into his existing worldview are correct Catholic theology.

But I can say that it is indeed an education to read his thoughts and those of his readers. Boy, do we still have a long way to go. Gee, Mark, is there any way I can point you Catholics at the Islamists who also want to establish their version of God's Kingdom on earth, and you guys can take each other out? Us Jews? Until the dust clears, we'll be hiding out in India or China or Fuji or someplace where nobody's theology is dependent on converting us.
