Mark Gilman: I love the Pope's call for Jewish-Catholic solidarity, but it is not enough. Pope Benedict says that as “Jews and Catholics, we must commit ourselves to this path of friendship." Then The Vatican must work with Jewish orgs to more real community between Jews and Catholics. This needs resources.

Pope reaffirms Christians’ special relationship with Jews amid rising antisemitism, Gaza war

Pope reaffirms Christians’ special relationship with Jews amid rising antisemitism, Gaza warapnews.com Pope Francis has reaffirmed Christians' special relationship with Jews amid rising antisemitism since the outbreak of the Gaza war in a letter to the Jews of Israel.

We need more than grand speeches from on high. WE NEED REAL COMMUNITY. Shuls and Churches building bridges. Jews and Christians making friendships. This is not easy, simple, or quick. It needs support, resources, and time. If The Vatican doesn't support this, then the Pope's words are hollow.

Community is the key! Also thank you for reminding me to check in with my new branch of CCJ.

CCJ?

Council of Christian and Jews (Great Britain).

I broke my own policy of avoiding unusual acronyms, sorry about that.
