Messianic Jews will be present at the Basilica of Santa Anastasia, Rome this March 19 (Friday).
Fr. Alberto Pacini, Rector will be there along with the Choir and members of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. No one- will tell those many Jews there that if they die immediately they will be going to Hell. It will be Jesus, whom they claim to follow, who will judge them.
We cannot separate Jesus from the Church. Those who believed in Jesus in the Early Church, at the time of the Apostles, had to be baptized. After the pagan and Jew accepted Jesus as his Saviour he needed to enter the Church to sustain his Faith. He needed to receive the Eucharist with no stain of mortal sin on his soul. If the Jew or pagan did commit a mortal sin over time, he was put out of the community. It was a penance and reminder to him that his soul was in danger of being lost for all eternally, even though he believed in Jesus.
According to Vatican Council II all those who know about Jesus and the Catholic Church and do not enter the Church are on the way to Hell.
All the Messianic Jews present at the monthly meeting at Santa Anastasia are educated, informed and know about the Church.
I can picture the choir singing on March 19, in Italian, ‘Rejoice and be glad…’while all those Messianic Jews could be in Hell for all eternity if they die that night.
