There is a difference between anti-Semetism and anti-Judaism but I voted for yes.

I would doubt that Catholics have any ethnic resentment of Jews but they want the whole world to be Catholic.
We want the whole world to be Catholic?
The goal of the leadership of any group - religious or not - is to recruit members.  Am I wrong?
I personally would not want the whole world to be Catholic.  
If I did - what would be the point of my being on this forum?
I'm here because I respect the Jewish religion and the goals of JTF.
As far as the question posed by the poll - my answer would have to be - I sure hope not.
There is no place for it - especially at this time in history.  
We are both facing the same enemy head on.


Be very CAREFUL of people whose WORDS don't match their ACTIONS.

This is where Judaism is different, and why I don't consider it a threat.  Judaism is a religion for a people, as is Hinduism.  Jews don't place an expectation on others to follow their religion.

Islam is the most extreme, willing to kill people just because they are not Muslims.  Of course Catholicism hasn't reached that level, and most Catholics don't want to KILL non-catholics.

I agree with Jeffguy here. 

We have wonderful Catholic members, and I don't want them to feel insulted or uncomfortable.  So if you folks want to continue this discussion, do so elsewhere.  This is not the place for it.  I'm locking this thread.
