Pope Francis Throws Jesus Christ Under The Bus Pandering To ‘Offended’ Rabbis in Israel

Pope Francis has thrown Jesus Christ and the apostle Paul under the bus to placate Jews over “offensive” comments he allegedly made about their ersatz “books of sacred law,” following a demand for clarification from Israel’s top rabbis, Vatican and Jewish community sources said on Monday:

Last month Reuters reported exclusively that Rabbi Rasson Arousi, chair of the Commission of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel for Dialogue with the Holy See, had written a stern letter to the Vatican, saying Francis’ comments appeared to suggest that the Torah, or Jewish law, was obsolete. At a general audience on Aug. 11, the pope said: “The law (Torah) however does not give life.”

“It does not offer the fulfillment of the promise because it is not capable of being able to fulfill it….Those who seek life need to look to the promise and to its fulfillment in Christ. The Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, contains hundreds of commandments for Jews to follow in their everyday lives. The measure of adherence to the wide array of guidelines differs between Orthodox Jews and Reform Jews.

Arousi sent his letter on behalf of the Chief Rabbinate — the supreme rabbinic authority for Judaism in Israel — to Cardinal Kurt Koch, whose Vatican department includes a commission for religious relations with Jews. In the letter Arousi asked Koch to “convey our distress to Pope Francis” and asked for a clarification from the pope to “ensure that any derogatory conclusions drawn from this homily are clearly repudiated.”

Francis then asked Koch to explain that his words on the Torah reflecting on the writings of St. Paul in the New Testament should not be taken as a judgment on Jewish law, the sources said.

Last week Koch sent a letter to Arousi containing a quote made by Pope Francis in 2015: “The Christian confessions find their unity in Christ; Judaism finds its unity in the Torah.” Jewish sources said they saw the Vatican letter as a sign of reconciliation.

For his part, the pope appeared to go out of his way in his last two public appearances to try to clear up what the Vatican considers a misunderstanding. At a general audience on Sept 1, Francis said his words on St. Paul’s writings were “simply a catechesis (teaching homily) … and nothing else”.

At his weekly blessing on Sunday, he offered best wishes to Jews for the upcoming Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, and for the subsequent feasts of Yom Kippur and Sukkot. “May the new year be rich with fruits of peace, and good for those who walk faithfully in the law of the Lord,” he said.

Both Jewish and Vatican sources said the inclusion of the word “law” in what are normally routine greetings was significant and intentional.

Relations between Catholics and Jews were revolutionized in 1965, when the Second Vatican Council repudiated the concept of collective Jewish guilt for the death of Jesus and began decades of inter-religious dialogue. Francis and his two predecessors visited synagogues. Francis has had a very good relationship with Jews. While still archbishop in native Buenos Aires, he co-wrote a book with one of the city’s rabbis, Abraham Skorka, and has maintained a lasting friendship with him.

Pope Francis rarely says anything remotely resembling Christianity these days — but this time, he got it right — no, the Law in and of itself cannot give eternal life — otherwise the advent of Jesus Christ and the New Covenant was pointless.

Israel failed up uphold the Law — and only their Messiah could get them out from the Law — and Christ came and created a new covenant with Israel so that they could be saved through faith rather than the letter of the Law, which brought death.

No doubt, the Law still applied — as Paul made clear — but the rituals of the Law were done away with — and that’s what the Jews tenaciously cling to — the empty rituals that are impossible to maintain, as James 2:10 tells us, “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.”

But all of this contention is a moot point because today’s Jews are not Israelites — they are imposters — anti-Christs in black Halloween costumes pretending to be the children of Israel.

And it was the Catholic Church that allowed these mischling “Jews” to convert to “Christianity” and infiltrate the Church — so much so that the early Jesuit order became known as a virtual “Jewish synagogue.”

And many of these satanic conversos rose in the ranks, like Francis, to become Pope — as detailed in Joachim Prinz’s book, Popes From The Ghetto — which “coincidentally” was published in 1966 around the time of Vatican II.

Yes, there was a time when the Popes called out the Jews about the profane, anti-Christ sentiments in their Talmud — and even burned the Talmud in front of Notre Dame — or sainted Christian children who had been murdered by Jews in their satanic blood rituals.

But those days are long gone — the Jewish Archbishop of Canterbury has officially blamed all Christians for the “Holocaust.”

Now the criticism or “inter-faith dialogue” is a one-way street from Tel Aviv to the Vatican — and the Church continuously compromises to appease the unappeasable anti-Christs — even allowing them to remove verses from the New Testament that “offend” Satan’s minions.

Christians have given up so much ground to the Jews that Christianity is becoming indistinguishable from Judaism — and many Christians worship the Jews rather than Jesus Christ.

And none of those Judaized Christians think for a second that Luke 18:8 is talking about them:

“I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?
