Israel and the Church
"For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery... that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved... Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." (Rom 11:25-29)
Articles on Jewish-Christian relations,the Church and the Jewish people, the Church in the Holy Land, the role of Israel in God's plan of salvation, Christian Zionism and the theological meaning of the land of Israel today.

Catholics for
Israel are highly aware of the precarious and difficult
situation you find yourselves in. We are not against you by
calling ourselves Catholics
for Israel. It is precisely the concern for the situation
you are in and the complexity of your situation that is motivating us
to address and speak out those things that today most Catholics are
afraid to even think about.

 On September 2, 2009, Catholic apologist Robert Sungenis published a document entitled "The Erroneous Teachings of Catholics for Israel” in which he directly attacks the legitimacy of our apostolate. This document states that on the Catholics for Israel website “various and sundry claims about the Jews and Israel are being disseminated as Catholic Teaching” but these, according to Sungenis, are “not Catholic teachings.” The following is our response to Sungenis' attacks.

S ometimes I hear Catholics talking about making a pilgrimage to the
Holy Land, and I must confess that something about this lightly
irritates me. “Why would this irritate you” you might ask,
“what’s wrong with Catholics visiting the land of Jesus and cradle of
their faith?” Nothing is wrong with Catholics visiting the land of Jesus of
course. It is with the terminology that I have a bone to pick...

 Jesus Christ
suffers in the passion of Israel. In striking Israel, the anti-Semites
strike him, insult him and spit on him. To persecute the house of
Israel is to persecute Christ, not in his mystical body as when the
Church is persecuted, but in his fleshly lineage and in his forgetful
people whom he ceaselessly loves and calls. In the passion of Israel,
Christ suffers and acts as the shepherd of Zion and the Messiah of
Israel, in order gradually to conform his people to him.

" We know that God gave Israel the land but there is no
mention of his taking it back again forever. Can we Christians exclude
that what is happening in our day, that is, the return of Israel to the
land of its fathers, is not connected in some way, still a mystery to
us, to this providential order which concerns the chosen people and
which is carried out even through human error and excess as happens in
the Church itself?"

Cardin al Avery Dulles (1918-2008), of blessed memory, discusses the present status of God's covenant with Israel, a subject which has
been extensively discussed in Jewish-Christian dialogues since the
Shoah. Catholics look for an approach that fits in the framework of
Catholic doctrine, much of which has been summarized by the Second
Vatican Council...
