Pope Meets Priest Accused of Anti-Jewish Remark

From the Associated press, Another "CHRISTIAN'' SHOWING some true colors.

This is why I have little or almost no respect for Christians in general.

ROME — Pope Benedict XVI met this week with a Polish priest who has been accused of making anti-Jewish comments. Photos showing the pope at his summer residence with, Father Tadeusz Rydzyk along with two other Polish priests, were published in Polish newspapers yesterday.

The Vatican has not commented on the meeting. But a Vatican official confirmed yesterday that the three were brought to the pope, along with other pilgrims, after the pontiff's weekly public blessing Sunday in Castel Gandolfo, his summer home. Father Rydzyk was allegedly caught on tape saying Jews are greedy and that President Kaczynski of Poland is subservient to Jewish lobbyists.


Nothing like a Catholic priest perpetuating the fallacy that all JEWS are Greedy. Yay Christians! Once again caught with their pants down, oops no that is another story. Shows you that in their hearts they still blame the JEWS for killing another JEW called Jesus, so much for forgiveness huh?

the book of morman was translated once with gods help.


So what you are saying is that EVERY WORD in the Book of Mormon is EXACTLY the same as it was when Joseph Smith wrote it, danielost? What if someone can prove otherwise?

The BoM from the 1950's is not even the same as today's, danielost. I have SEEN the difference in texts with my own eyes.

The Bible has literally THOUSANDS of supporting texts...documents we can see and touch with our own hands. The BoM, on the other hand is based on plates that no living person has seen.

I refuse to label Mormonism a cult, danielost, I refuse to say definitively that Mormonism is wrong. I WILL say, however, I have many questions through extensive research that have never been answered to my satisfaction. And until/unless they are, I cannot and will not testify to the validity of the Mormon faith.

Lula posts:
"The reference to the breaking of the bread in their homes V. 46, only tells us that the Christian communities founded by St.Paul and others, did not yet have their own buildings specially reserved for these functions. "

Jythier posts:

"They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,"

Huh. Could've sworn that meant we should fellowship by breaking bread with other believers and eating together, no matter where we are...


Acts chapter 2 starts with Pentecost that was held 50 days after the Passover, that is after 7 weeks had passed. The material harvest which the Jews celebrated so joyously became through the Lord God's providence, the symbol of a spiritual harvest the Apostles--- after the Holy Spirit by tongues of fire, descended upon them--- began to reap on this day.

Pentecost certainly had a lasting value even unto today. Fifty days after Christ celebrated the Last Supper in which He "broke the bread" and told them "Do this in commemmoration of Me", the Apostles gathered together in the same Cenacle as had been used for the first Eucharist. The power from the Holy Spirit enlightened their minds and strengthened them and they began to act, that is, perform their roles. Thus is the birth and going forth of the Apostolic Infant Church.

Go back to v. 37 on and you'll see how the context of "the breaking of the bread" follows St.Peter's sermon and those who received the Gospel, v. 41, "So those who received his word were baptised, and there were added that day about 3,000 souls. 42 And they devoted themselves to the Apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers."

This is followed by v. 43-47 which contains the passage that I initially cited. These verses describe the key elements of the ascetical and liturgical-sacramental life of the first Christians after Pentecost extending beyond the Cenacle.

The fellowship in this instance is that union of hearts brought about by the Holy Spirit. Their was a profound solidarity amongst the disciples resulting from the practice of the faith appreciating the gift of God the Father through Jesus Christ. The mutual affection enabled them to be detached from material things and to give up their possessions to help those in need.

The "breaking of the bread" refers to the BLessed Eucharist and is not just an ordinary meal. This is the special way the early Christians distributed the Sacrament containing the Lord's Body and following His command. St.John 6:25-58.

don't remember about the new testiment but the old testiment does refer to books not in the bible now.

Most excellent point. Ever since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947-48, we have sufficient proof. Yes, there are no original manuscripts of the Old or New Testament, yet many ancient transcriptions have survived. The very earliest translation was the Septuagint (begun in 250-100BC). Christ and the Apostles used both the Septuagint and the Hebrew Palestinian Canon. Later, St.Jerome faithfully and meticulously translated those into the Vulgate in 383 AD. We therefore, have faithful translations that have been crossed checked many times over for accuracy. These faithful tranlations are substantially correct insofar as it does not differ from the originals in such a way as to lead to any doctrinal error.

I tend to agree. There are various things added to the KJVersion and many mistranslations can be found. Protestant BIbles omit 7 Books of the Old Testament which are contained in Catholic versions. They are Tobais, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, the 2 books of Machabees and various sections of other books.

Carefully read St.John 6:25-58. It boils down basically whether you believe Christ was talking in symbolism or said what He meant and meant what He said.

Read the verses after that and you will see that some of the Jews believed and some found what He said "too hard" to believe and left.

Yes, of course, both Sts. Peter and Paul were still Jews after their conversion, that is, ethnically speaking. What must be recognized is that they accepted Christ as the Messias, and later were both baptized. They were the first budding-forth of the New Israel.


They were ethnically and by their actions they still lived as Jews (adhering to Torah) as I just showed you. Peter's vision was LONG after Jesus' resurrection and he says he still ate Kosher. Lula, How many Catholics eat Kosher? Especially on Easter and Christmas (Ham comes to mind here).

Also Lula, You haven't answered my question about whether YOU keep Torah?

If he was not being symbolic, you would be able to live on the Holy Eucharist alone, and would be expected to do so, don't you think?

You missed my point, MM. The point is that EVERY book of the Bible that we have (and some that we don't) has ancient texts to support its authenticity. The BoM does not.

As to the books that are considered canon and those that are not, that is another debate entirely. A valid one, but another debate entirely.

Catholics eat fish in regards to Barracus,Christians do the piggy thing on Ishtar,and piggy most times on the mass of christ in regards to Iesus their god.
Like scripture says they worship not knowing what or who they are worshipping.


Breaking bread is what we all should be doing breaking bread and doing like we are now chatting about religons of man and how they loead to death.

Just like the meeting in homes did not replace the Syngogues,but the church did.

You cannot take a person who taught and kept the customs he taught and make something else out if without replacing the whole system and that is what religons of man do,they replace the holy with the unholy.

Lulu why you chasing a bone that is not there,daniel no wonder you do not go to services,your tired of the b.s. religons

Jeremiah 31:31
"The time is coming," declares the LORD,
"when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah."

Hmm.
