Gloria.TV News on the 9th of February 2016

74-year-old Miami Beach Jewish resident Pinchus Feinstein wrote an open letter to the Pope. Feinstein became a Catholic at the age of 17 because he believed that he could only be saved through baptism. But now he heard about the Pope’s teachings on the Jews. Quote: “You now teach that because I am a racial Jew, God’s covenant with me was never broken, and cannot be broken.” And: “You don’t even say that it depends on me being a good person.”

Feinstein quotes from the December 2015 document of the Vatican Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews. Quote: “It does not in any way follow that the Jews are excluded from God’s salvation because they do not believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah of Israel and the Son of God.”

Feinstein’s conclusion: “I no longer see any point in going to Mass, saying rosaries, or going to confession on Saturday afternoon. All of those acts are superfluous for me. Predicated on your teaching, I now know that due to my special racial superiority in God’s eyes, I don’t need any of it.”

In light of what Francis’ teaching, it appears to Feinstein that the New Testament is a fraud, at least as it applies to Jews. Jesus’ preaching to the Jews was for no purpose. Quote: “Jesus had to know this, yet he persisted in causing a lot of trouble for the Jews by insisting they had to be born again.” And: “Your holiness, you and your Commission have instructed me in the true path to my salvation: my race. God has a covenant with my genes.”

Now Feinstein is suing the Pope: “I want my money back and I am seeking compensation for the psychological harm your Church caused me, by making me think I needed something besides my own exalted racial identity, in order to go to heaven after I die.”

This was an amusing spoof letter posted by Michael Hoffman in his newsletter. Gloria TV obviously took it the wrong way, but to be fair to them, the humour is not immediately evident. However, it becomes unmistakable towards the end.

It is tragedy not only for Catholics but the whole world having heretics as cardinals, bishops and the pope too...

If Mr. Feinstein gets his money back, than all Catholics have to get back their money. The Church tax is a precondition that we remain in the Catholic Church. If we don´t want to pay the Church tax, we are forced to leave the Church.

74 años de edad, residente de Miami Beach, judía. Pinchus Feinstein escribió una carta abierta al Papa. Feinstein se convirtió al catolicismo a la edad de 17 porque creía que sólo podía ser salvado por el bautismo. Pero ahora que escuchó acerca de las enseñanzas del Papa sobre los Judios. Cita: "Ahora enseña que porque soy un Judio racial, la alianza de Dios con mí, no estaba rota, y no puede ser quebrantada." Y: "Ni siquiera decir que depende de mí ser una buena persona."

Feinstein cita el documento de diciembre de 2015 la Comisión Vaticana para las Relaciones Religiosas con los Judios. Cita: "No de ninguna manera se sigue que los Judios son excluidos de la salvación de Dios, ya que no creen en Jesucristo como el Mesías de Israel y el Hijo de Dios."

La conclusión de Feinstein: "Ya no ve ningún sentido en ir a misa, diciendo rosarios, o ir a la confesión el sábado por la tarde. Todos estos actos son por demás que yo. Afirmado en su enseñanza, ahora sé que debido a la superioridad racial especial a los ojos de Dios, no necesito nada de eso ".

A la luz de la enseñanza de Francisco, parece que para Feinstein el Nuevo Testamento es un fraude, al menos como se aplica a Judios. predicación de Jesús a los Judios fue para ningún propósito. Cita: "Jesús tenía que saber esto, sin embargo, persistió en la causa de muchos problemas para los Judios, insistiendo en que tenían que nacer de nuevo." Y: "Su santidad, usted y su Comisión me han instruido en el camino verdadero a mi la salvación: mi carrera. Dios tiene un pacto con mis genes ".

Ahora Feinstein está demandando al Papa: "Quiero mi dinero de vuelta y estoy buscando una compensación por el daño psicológico que su Iglesia me causó, al hacerme pensar que necesitaba algo más que mi propia identidad racial exaltada, con el fin de ir al cielo después de morir ".

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. Behold, your house is left unto you desolate!" Matthew 23,37-38

When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it, saying: "If you hadst known, even now, at least in this your day, the things which belong unto your peace - but now they are hid from thine eyes." Luke 19,41-42
Many years before this Israel had so rejected God and His laws that they were removed from their land. Their house, their city, and their land were desolate for 70 years. And the reason for the 70 years was that for 490 years they had not observed the Sabbaths of the land.
Every 7th year was to be a Sabbath for the land. It was not to be cultivated. But Israel did not do this. So the 70 Sabbatical years were forced on them all at one time. The land was desolate, waste, deserted. The Temple was in ruin.
Now Israel's Messiah had come. The King was in the midst and the Kingdom at hand. But they did not know the time of their visitation. They rejected the King. So His verdict was that their house was to be desolate until such a time as they would say: "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord."
In Matthew 22,2-14 is a parable that warns of these desolations. It tells how that a king made a marriage dinner for his son and then sent out his servants to bid guests. But they would not come. This is the ministry of the Lord and the twelve. So the king sent out other servants and bid them again to come, but they would not come. They treated the servants mercilessly. So the king sent his armies and destroyed these murderers and burned up their city.

Creo en la Iglesia porque no me dejo llevar por los escándalos sino por la Palabra de Dios. Es cierto que hay escándalos en la Iglesia. Ya Jesús lo advirtió. Pero también hay cientos de miles de mártires que han derramado su sangre por Cristo en cada siglo incluso el nuestro. Millones y millones viven su fe inspirados por el Evangelio.

@aderito, I have racked my brain to try to understand why he seems allergic to the notion. The pope would also be wise to recommend Don Reto's Quick Study Catechism!
Abramo
@disseo4: I would also believe that the letter is a fake, but the points made in the letter are not fake.

What we the church needs is that the Pope to encourage people to read and learn the true cathechism .not this new secular liberal doctrine that is been slowly intruduced to the church

Pope Francis' personal comments on Jewish conversion are not what the Roman Catholic Church teaches. He is merely supporting ecumenism which was introduced at Vatican II. Who know how credible this "open letter" claims to be. Whenever a pope publicly participates in ecumenical meetings he is saying to the world that the Catholic Church is not the Church which Our Lord founded but just another sect …More

Who know how credible this "open letter" claims to be. Whenever a pope publicly participates in ecumenical meetings he is saying to the world that the Catholic Church is not the Church which Our Lord founded but just another sect, on equal footing with false religions.
