ITALIAN PRIEST CRITICIZES BAGNASCO FIASCO: THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT JEWS NEED TO CONVERT

 An Italian diocesan priest in Rome has appealed to the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI to correct the statement of the Conference of Italian Bishops President Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, who has assured the pro-homosexuality,abortion and syncretism Jewish Left that Jews do not have to convert and that the Church will not actively seek their conversion.


The cardinal issued the statement on Sept.22,2009 .It was reported in the daily Avvenire, on Sept.23,2009.

Father Tullio Rotondo in a an e-mail message received today said that the cardinal’s statement was contary to the Bible in which all Jews are called to conversion.

Fr.Rotondo said that Jesus had called all people to convert, especially the Jews. Jesus had sent His Apostles to convert all people.

Fr.Rontondo referred to Bible passages Matt.3:2.Matt.4:17,Matt.11:20, Matt.12:41,Matt.13:15,Matt 18:3,Mark 1:15,Marck 4:12, Mark 6:12,Luk 5:32, Luke 10:30,Luke 11:32,Luk 13:3,Luke 13:5,Luke 15:7,Luke 15:10,John 12:40,Acts 3:26,9:35,Acts.20:21,Acts.26:20,Acts.28:27,2 Tim.2:25.

The above Biblical quotations Fr.Tullio Rotondo said help us understand that first and foremost the Jews need to convert and then the others. It makes us understand that we must preach for the conversion of the Jews and we must pray and appeal to the saints for this conversion.

We pray also for the conversion of the cardinals, he said, who say things that appear scandalous and contrary to the Sacred Faith. Don Tullio said that he is praying also that the Holy Father intervenes.

Don Tullio said that we must fight also in the Church of God, for the Truth.
