The Church, the Jews, and the Palestinians.
In view of the current strife between Israel and Hamas, we're re-posting this piece from four years ago to provide some perspective. Catholics who don’t pay attention may think that Jewish-Catholic relations are in good shape. After all, Church documents such as...
