As someone who actually read a bit more of the ORIGINAL comment itself...it seems odd that somehow it was implied that this "chapel leader" was/is Catholic...and thus starting some "Catholic bashing." First of all, NO ONE can judge whether one's self or ANY one is "doomed." To state that a person, or any ethnic group or demonination is doomed is simply WRONG! Period! As to "true Catholic doctrine" I would direct you to article #674 of the "Catechism of the Catholic Church." Simply stated, it says "all Israel" will recognize Christ as the Messiah...and that His coming is "suspended at every moment of history" until this is acheived. Now to me that's more of a statement of hope...rather than doom. and thank God for Hope...for without Hope...and Faith, and most importantly Love...what do we REALLY have here on this plane of existence?
What'd Jew say?
