Beschreibungen/Notizen

• According to Herzl, who was seeking papal approval for his Zionist project, Pius said, "The Jews have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people. ...The Jewish faith was the foundation of our own, but it has been superseded by the teachings of Christ, and we cannot admit that it still enjoys any validity. "16 How precisely this applies to the biblical land promises is a critical and difficult topic, one beyond the scope of this essay. [...]the Catholic community today finds itself in the unprecedented situation of renouncing its supersessionist past and grappling with the centrality of Eretz Yisrael for Jews in the context of the existence of a modern Jewish nation-state. [...]is it not conceivable that we could collaborate in bringing our different traditions of interpretation to bear on these complex issues? Since we both find this question perplexing within our respective frames of reference, perhaps we could creatively open up new approaches if we intensified our dialogue in a sustained and focused way. 18 So, for example, Origen (Contra Celsum, IV, 22): "One of the facts which show that Jesus was some divine and sacred person is just that on his account such great and fearful calamities have now for a long time befallen the Jews™ For they committed the most impious crime of all, when they conspired against the Savior of mankind, in the city where they performed to God the customary rites which were symbols of profound mysteries. [...]that city where Jesus suffered these indignities had to be utterly destroyed.
