NARAL Supporting Socialist Chancellor of Portland Promotes Judaism

The premise of interfaith dialogue of the kind we are seeing here is that it's supposed to make us more "comfortable" with each other and more "tolerant" of our differences. The unspoken conclusion is that our beliefs don't actually matter, and it's not a suprising conclusion considering that the organizer of the event is an advocate for NARAL, socialist moveon.org, hommosexual enabling Oregon Catholic Press for which she's a boardmember and a really bad Catechism which diocesan funds no doubt purchase to disedify children when they are unfortunate enough to enter one of Portland's religious education programs.

Mary Jo Tully, a modernist who bosses Bishops around, who connects Catholics with moveon.org and NARAL is also connecting Catholic seminarians to a Jewish Rabbi who presumes to teach them about the importance of the Seder meal. At one point he erroneously asserts that for Jews the celebration of the liberation from Egypt is as "earthshaking for Jews as the Resurrection is for Christians". Actually, the liberation from Egypt is a prefiguration of the Resurrection, which the Jews reject. What the Rabbi doesn't discuss, and most likely isn't asked, is whether or not the Jews will apologize for the slurs against Our Lord and His Mother contained in their Talmud, the stoning of St. Stephen, or how they call non-Jews, goyim.

But, the sheepish seminarians will be herded in for the meal and will have to sit quietly and politely, while the Rabbi makes them more confused and easily manipulated than before.

Incidentally, Oregon is one of the most liberal States in the Union and it's also, coincidently, leading the Union in Sex Abuse claims against the Catholic Church.

Seminarians experience a key Jewish rite

by Ed Langlois

ST. BENEDICT — As the sun set and Mount Hood glowed in the distance, more than 130 students from Mount Angel Seminary sat shyly to pay heed to a rabbi. Within two hours, the future priests were singing traditional Jewish songs with gusto and giving Rabbi Daniel Issak thankful embraces.

Rabbi Issak, leader of Congregation Neveh Shalom in Southwest Portland, accepted an invitation to lead a Passover Seder at the place where Catholic priests are formed.

The ritual meal commemorates the liberation of the Israelities from Egypt. Rabbi Isaak explained that the historical release from bondage is as earthshaking for Jews as the resurrection of Jesus is for Christians.
