1. The latest installment of Meotti's "I hate the Vatican"
Cameron ,   USA   (04.20.12)
fixation? The Jewish audience really get a hard-on off this weekly routine?
2. #1.If it's untrue, then prove it!
Tom ,   USA   (04.20.12)
Or go back to Huffpost bashing Israel or to "stromfront". They love you.
3. #1 - Cameron
Devorah   (04.20.12)
No, Cameron, it's you who gets the boner off these articles. Just look at you. You can't wait to comment on this stuff because you're the one with the obsession and fixation. This is a Jewish site, Cameron, and you are the parasite. Don't forget that.
4. Catholics and the Vatican
David Schiff ,   Hamilton Canada   (04.20.12)
The Catholic church is moribund and on it's way to it's own demise. It has lost it's moral compass with Pius 10 and WW 2. Go tie your fortune to more misdirected evil. Open you eyes and closed brains and see who your real enemies are. David
5. Great insight
Elie ,   Thornhill, Canada   (04.20.12)
Mr. Meotti You have great knowledge and insight. it is always a pleasure to read your articles. Hazak u baruch !
6. It's you with the hard-on, Cameron
Tahl   (04.20.12)
You get it from immersing yourself daily in this site, "enjoying another typical day at the talkbacks", and smugly appointing yourself to supposedly speak on behalf of America on just about every issue. An armchair general, a social analyst, legal expert and a joker all rolled into one. Face it, you just can't get enough of this place. What would you do without the Opinion section here, and Meotti in specific? Methinks he's doing you an important service.

9. #1. Cameron's latest installment of "Let me teach you Jews".
American Jew   (04.20.12)
YOU, Cameron, are the one getting the "hard-on" off of this "JEWISH" newspaper's daily talkbacks. We don't ask you to come here, and preach your subtle brand of Jew-hatred to us. You elect to do so. While your most erotic fantasies are derived from articles having to do with Jonathan Pollard (where you are usually the first putz out of the cute to declare "let him rot"), you make make due with just about any other topic. Do us all a big favor, and refrain from posting on this site. A job or a hobby would be nice, don't you think?

Amnon ,   USA   (04.20.12)
Watt are we to expect from a HITLERJUGEND,that has became pope.
11. Hating their own
tiki ,   belgium   (04.20.12)
The church never forgave Jesus for being a Jew (which makes them Jews, converted Jews, but Jews). It doesn't come as a surprise that this reconciliation is now, when the nazi indoctrinated Razinger is at the helm of the Catholic church, which has always been the intense enemy of the Jews. Why? Because the Jew can expose the Church as the false Religion, the copy with exceptions, always the number two but never the original, always the CHILD but never the FATHER. There was a small interlude when Pope Johannes was leading the church, but the original wicked & intense Jew hate is never far away. They will sleep with the enemy & with the devil if necessary to get rid of the only ones who can expose them as the Emperors without clothes.
12. Devorah
Cameron ,   USA   (04.20.12)
You're lucky I'm so cynical or this gentile would have to summon the Spanish Inquisition to drag you off for speaking thus.
13. David, #4, I agree
Isabella LeFevre ,   Tampa USA   (04.20.12)
The Catholic Church is even still calling the Protestant Reformation (my branch of LeFevre's) "The Great Heracy", and keeps to it's replacement theology no matter what. There are intellectuals within the church that hold different views yet they are not enough to make a difference & many even leave the order as a result. Those I fear the most however are the ME Bishops that stupidly see the Jews as bigger enemies than the Muslims. That should tell us all the foolishness and dangerous idealogy of the whole bunch.
14. Vatican and the Le Febvre schismatics
Gene Graczyk ,   Santa Rosa, CA USA   (04.20.12)
It might be helpful to stick to the facts here. The Society is considered schismatic by the Church for dozens of reasons. All of these will have to be abandoned before they are allowed back in. The Vatican has only indicated that they will allow them to celebrate the old Mass which is already allowed so no big deal. They do not and will not allow this group the leeway to have their own theology regarding the Jews. Vatican II moved the Church far away from many old errors as you well know. Funny, I don't remember so much hatred when JP II came to the Wall. Or was it just another case of wanting a photo-op? Bottom line here: wait until the agreement, if any, is published to judge what it does or doesn't say. You have no crystal ball, dear friends.
15. People wonder why Protestants exist.
shaun green ,   pasadena usa   (04.21.12)
Just so you guys know not all Christians are anti-semites. Many of us thank God that Israel is ran by Jews and allows us safe passage to our holy sites. I hate seeing so many fear mongering articles about anti-semite Christians. The reason the US allies with Israel is BECAUSE our Christians are so pro-Israel.
16. Past times, on Catholicism, are over.
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (04.21.12)
Jewish friends. Roman Catholic Church will never go back to awful past times. Be sure about it. There is no chance for integrists or ultraconservatives. They are schismatics and Pope Benedict XVI will only tolerate their reintegration if they accept the rules of II Vatican's Council. If, hypothesically , those ignorant and hateful priests and bishops can restore their old power, the great majority, including this talkbacker, will not only deplore, but we will react firmly, through necessary hard ways. You must believe it. You have to give a chance to my church in order to show its renewal. After ugly darkness, bright light shines. God Almighty wants our union against common enemies. You are His chosen people and we, true Christians, are your youngest brothers.
17. JEWS NEVER REJECTED, BUT CHRISTIANITY REJECTED ISLAM.
BUTSeriously ,   Australia   (04.21.12)
Jews simply remained Jews, which is their right. Judaism is a belief which is 2000 years older than Christianity and has withstood conversion demands with numerous existential wars. They never rejected Rome, the Greeks, Babylon or ancient Egypt - they just followed the beliefs handed down by the God of all Gods - given them directly, which Christianity and Islam could not match, and hold totally contradicting beliefs of each other. The Hebrew bible is right & vindicated: 'ABRAHAM SHALL BE THE FATHER OF M.A.N.Y. NATIONS'. Do the maths.
18. Vatjcan embracing anti-semitism?
macpherson ,   canada   (04.20.12)
Looks like Giulo Meotti is having a bad day poor guy. He rambles on and on with imaginary scenarios. He even re-writes history to make an impact, endlessly trolls the websites of the Society of St. Pius X looking for anti-semitism under every rock. We are all rather tired of this "poor me" attitude. Get a grip, this is the twenty first century.
19. Meotti's neverending victimhood quest
Tom ,   USA   (04.21.12)
And look! The sheep are eating it up!
20. Petrucci an Enemy of His Church
B.G. ,   Brooklyn, NY   (04.21.12)
Petrucci, by calling Judaism a "false religion" merely shows his general anti-Christian and specifically anti-Christ beliefs. Why? Because Jesus himself was a Jew. One can only hope that those who follow him realize that by denying the legitimacy and truth of Judaism, Petrucci also denies the legitimacy of Jesus Christ and is thus an enemy of his own church.
21. I agree with David #4. The Vatican's Days are Over
Susan ,   Raanana   (04.21.12)
I couldn't agree more with David. The Vatican has always been one of the most corrupt religious institutions on the planet. Amazing how anyone practicing or promoting a religion in the name of a loving diety could molest and abuse children; turn their backs while millions were slaughtered during WW2; money launder; smuggle Nazi war criminals to South America; spout anti-Semetic propaganda and on top of it, either deny or hush up all it's putrid secrets. The day is soon coming when they will be out of business. Susan
22. The core of catholic thinking
Ezra ,   SanDiego   (04.21.12)
I think the Vatican has it's own agenda; always has. If called on it, the Pope would use love-bomb reasoning to rationalize signing a peace treaty with the radical sects of the church. Most of what comes out of Pierpaolo Petrucci is psycho-babble. He's really milking the book of Matthew to get attention. It's comical calling Judaism a false religion. Everyone knows it's not a religion; it's a nation. Religions are for the gentiles.
23. Another saintly Meotti's special
Martin ,   Jerusalem   (04.21.12)
24. Edomites
rina   (04.21.12)
rule by the sword; descendants of Esau. "Kiss the cross or die" sounds familiar?
25. Judaism a religion or nation or both
Noel Nesor ,   Israel   (04.21.12)
The Jews are the only nation to be declared a nation when living outside their homeland. Pharoah did this in Egypt in biblical times. At that moment the Jews became both members of a faith,Judaism, and were recognised as the People of Israel. As the 'chosen' people the Jews were given not superority but responsibility to set an example to the people of the world. It did not give them some automatic excellence as many Jew haters imply. How sad that probably the most passive religion is abused by other religions, false or otherwise, such as Christianity and the greatest enemy, of all societies, Islam, a so called religion that breeds hatred universally.
26. The Vatican and anti-semetism
Harold ,   USA   (04.21.12)
The Vatican and good Christians including me still beleive that Jews are fully responsible for the crusifixion of Jesus Christ, The Son Of God. Does my belief brands me an anti-semitic even I was saved from drowning by a Jewish freind.
27. #3
Harold ,   USA   (04.21.12)
Is #1 not kosher enough to use the Jewish Site. What happened to freedom of speech. Wise-up
28. #1, Cameron, Mr. Antisemite...we are FED
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (04.21.12)
UP with you...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
29. #27 - Harold
Devorah   (04.21.12)
You are the one who needs to wise up. I don't care who posts comments here, but Cameron feeds his antisemitism on this site. Do I need to explain that any further?
30. In a perfect world....
Robert ,   Australia   (04.22.12)
.....there would be no religion. Religions will be the destruction of humanity. Religions are for those who are insecure and need to feed their herding instinct.
