In light of rising antisemitism and misinformation on the subject even among Catholics, I took the past month to revisit Benedict XVI’s ever-nuanced teaching on the Church’s relationship with Israel and God’s ongoing faithfulness to his covenant with the Chosen People. I hope readers find something helpful in my commentary and maybe even pass along what I managed to put together within the space of my monthly CWR column.
You can find my analysis piece here at Catholic World Report. Also, if you want to hear further commentary on a few topics not treated in the essay (e.g., the popes’ view on Israel and Palestine, etc.), check out this radio spot I did with Marcus Peter at Ave Maria Radio!
