of the Jews are saved eternally by Elohim revealing His Son Yahoshua ha Mashiach to them. As a Roman Catholic, he went to purgatory since worshipping Mary and JeZeus on the pagan Sabbath of Sunday is not saving faith.

Bishop Montefiore of Birmingham [Church of England] was born Jewish, a relative of Sir Moses Montefiore. Cardinal O'Connor's comment that his mother was a 'newcomer to Catholicism' suggests to me he probably did know.

and her Jewish heritage and faith. She converted to Christianity and married a Gentile. Her punishment was that her children were denied a Jewish life and the rewards that that comes with. She has much to answer for.

I've always said "THERE ARE ONLY TWO RELIGIONS IN THE WORLD, THE JEWS AND WHOEVER WANTS TO BE".

Jews boys & girls were taken away from their Jewish parents and converted by force by the Vatican. If the children did not convert then their families would be murdered. Kidnapping Jewish children was uncommon in the 14th century and today it continues. In the case of Cardinal O'Connor Jewish children enventually find out - Madeline Albright is a example of this. Many Europeans and Arabs have Jewish Blood in their viens and do not know. This goes way back into Biblical times-The Roman Empire brought many Jewish slaves to Rome - female slaves were used to produce children. The Blessings come when the person like Cardinal O'Connor accepts the history and geneology of their roots.

race is race, after all. Tho I'm sure theyll argue some addl reform legalism imagined exception

racism has its drawbacks

Hugh William Sebag-Montefiore, the 'most' excentric Bishop of Birmingham known only as Bishop Hugh Montefiore. Lived from 1920-2005 in his native England. descendant of Jewish Moroccan: Sebagh and IItalian venerable Jew Montefiore. So, here you go, till the list is going to grow when Pope Francis passes away?!

Later she became a Catholic. She didn't admit to have any Jewish connections, which means she wasn't religious before she defined herself with her chosen religion, Catholicism. Being Jewish means believing in the Jewish faith, believing in Tanah also called the Old Testament. Secular don't believe in the Tanah, they have no faith in any religion, which excludes them from Judaism. The secular people in Israel are Israelis. Please, stop confusing people by bringing up the immoral racist definition of a "Jew" when referring to secular people, atheists who follow no religion. no faith.

who is this self declared Jew

standing of Judaism & who's a Jew in this day and age. Will somebody please enlighten this poor Californian?

If that was comrade Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Kaganowich, Yagoda, a bunch of Jews responsible for Holodomor a genocide of 8-10 million starved to death Ukrainians during one winter 1932/33 they would be 'commies' but because it was a good man like Cardinal O’Connor he's a Jew no matter if he likes or not. Between the lines is hidden message that he's a good man because he's a Jew ;) ,...

This is nothing to be proud. This is an embarassement to Torah. If he knew his Jewish roots then he will pay severely in the next world for his (oconnors) sins because he couldve researched his Jewish background and repented. He chose sin. Its clear in the 1st and 2nd commandment "IF" oconnor was a theology student he shouldve have immediately ran to a ORTHODOX RABBI FOR KNOWLEDGE. Maybe he did 'RUN TO A QUALIFIED TORAH RABBI FOR WISDOM, but the recognition and money he made working for idols and graven images blinded him.

Who can't read , I never talked about "real" In what was this bishop Jewish , the same for Lustiger . Were they Jewish while saying their mass ? For me they both were NON Jews

In what was he Jewish while saying his mass ? In what was Lustiger , who converted out of free will , while in his church ? Edith Stein also converted , was murdered because of the racist Nazi laws and declared a "martyr" by the church . This same church who could have saved her but did not do it . Dassault [ ex Bloch ] converted as did the lesser known Emilie Fresco who became a nun . For me no one of them can be considered as being Jewish . A racist hates others because of their origin , want to eliminate them .

is a Jew. Secular Jews lived at home with Jewish values "Veahavta at Reeha Kamoha' and are 100% Jews. Yet they take the risk that their children intermarry since they don't see any difference . That's why today smart Secular parents abroad send their children in Jewish schools. .

What I wrote in #12 is what most people in the world believe. Religion is separate from nationality and people know this everywhere except for the forced and uneducated lexicon in Israel. He was not Jewish and neither was his mother. Kafka wasn't Jewish and neither was Karl Marx. When a person converts to religion different than Jewish he/she ceases to be Jewish. It is the same with being an atheist or secular -- ceased being Jewish.

But in what was this bishop Jewish ? In what was Lustiger Jewish ?

Halacha admits that being Jewish is not only religion. Wasn't Lustiger a victim of the Shoa? Maybe this pope indirectly too.

The Ukrainians had it coming. They were responsible for the murder of far more than 10 million Jews.
