THE BIBLE AND MAGISTERIAL TEXTS SAY JEWS NEED TO CONVERT FOR SALVATION. THIS IS MY CATHOLIC BELIEF.I’M NOT GOING TO CHANGE IT EVEN IF YOU CHARGE ME WITH ANTI-SEMITISM

There are many informed Catholics who are changing Catholic teaching since they do not want to be charged under the anti -Semitism laws and  have to pay fines.

So they maintain the lie about Catholic teaching and bluff themself that they are following the teaching of the Church.

For instance, a prosperous Catholic understands clearly that the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 refers to the ‘dogma’. He knows that the text of the dogma indicates all Jews in Boston need to convert into the Church to avoid Hell.He has read the text. It is  objective and factual. Yet he will not say that the Letter of the Holy Office to the Archbishop of Boston 1949 supported Fr.Leonard Feeney on doctrine. He was not excommunicated for heresy.

Instead he will condemn Fr. Leonard Feeney and pretend that the Letter of the Holy Office was against him.

In other words, the Church has changed its teaching on extra ecclesiam nulla salus and this is what he believes and in this safe position no one can accuse him of being anti-Semitic .

This is a serious issue but when you see so many informed Catholics maintaining the lie, it’s comic.

Then this Catholic understands that there is absolutely no text in Lumen Gentium 16 which says we know of specific cases of people saved in invincible ignorance etc, in the present times.

Yet he will claim Vatican Council II contradicts the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

So politically he denies the ex cathedra dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, pretends this is the teaching of the Church in Vatican Council II and is glad no one can charge him as being anti Semitic.

Jesus asks us to love all people, irrespective, Jews included but also to tell them the truth.

The Bible, the Church’s Magisterial text and Sacred Tradition say Jews need to convert into the Catholic Church in the present times to avoid Hell and go to Heaven.

This is the teaching of the Church. This is my belief. This is my belief as a Catholic.

If you consider it anti-Semitic then so be it. I love all people including Jews and I am not going to change my belief in public, before any anti Semitic or racist law.

I, have the satisfaction of following the Faith, simply, without having to fake it, change it or pretend it is something else.

I can understand that it’s easier for me, since I do not have much to lose like many prosperous Catholics.

How can some of those Catholic writers on websites change or deny, an ex cathedra dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, in the name of Vatican Council II or Fr. Leonard Feeney and pretend it is not a mortal sin? How can they go to receive the Eucharist at Mass?
