Hebrew Catholic Vocation
This article was first posted on this blog on December 20, 2006.
Archbishop Raymond Burke of St Louis in his letter to David Moss, President of the Association of Hebrew Catholics, states that:
“The mission of your association responds, in a most fitting way, to the desire of the Church to respect fully the distinct vocation and heritage of Israelites in the Catholic Church.” Here we see that the Church itself desires to respect the vocation of Israel in the Church just as she respects the vocation of the Jewish people and Judaism outside the Church. The Church sees that Israelites in the Church do not just share in the general vocation of all Catholics but that they have a distinct vocation connected to their Israelite heritage which is important to the Church itself.
