Katnut d'Katnut

In Yoma 54a in the Babylonian Talmud it describes how during the festivals the priests would roll up the curtain of the Holy of Holies so that the people could see in order to meditate on the two cherubim on the Ark embracing one another like a male for a female which represented God's love or affection for them.

אָמַר רַב קַטִּינָא: בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁהָיוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל עוֹלִין לָרֶגֶל, מְגַלְּלִין לָהֶם אֶת הַפָּרוֹכֶת, וּמַרְאִין לָהֶם אֶת הַכְּרוּבִים שֶׁהָיוּ מְעוֹרִים זֶה בָּזֶה, וְאוֹמְרִים לָהֶן: רָאוּ חִבַּתְכֶם לִפְנֵי הַמָּקוֹם כְּחִבַּת זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה.

A very talented Hebrew Catholic friend of mine in New York, Jason, has taken a poem I wrote and set it to music and original art work of his and produced this. I love what he has done. My poem is called "Our Lady Danced at Cana" written back in 2016. The words fit amazingly well with the artistic unfolding of Creation.

I have written about the alleged Catholic visionary Eduardo Ferreira of Brazil in another post. Our Lady appears to him as the Rosa Mystica or Mystical Rose. She allegedly said to him on October 12 , 2021:My children, peace. On this day of prayer, I, your Mother, the Immaculate Conception, Queen of Peace, invite you once again to pray for peace. My children, on this day I warn you that experiments on human beings will have very sad consequences for all humanity.

In a recent discussion on the Association of Hebrew Catholics facebook discussion page someone asked a question about St Augustine's negative comments about continued Jewish specific Torah observances which were then quoted by later Catholics. 

I answered: One must take into account that Augustine is writing his opinion on this in the context of a Church that had become very anti-Jewish and anti-Judaism due to heated polemics.
