The “Elder Brothers” Heresy: How John Paul II’s Synagogue Visit Cemented the Apostasy of Vatican II
VaticanNews portal reports on the 40th anniversary of John Paul II’s visit to the Great Synagogue of Rome in April 1986, quoting Cardinal Kurt Koch’s effusive praise for this “extraordinary event” that “charted a significant course for the future reconciliation between the Catholic Church and Judaism.” Koch highlights John Paul II’s scandalous declaration that the Jewish religion is “intrinsic” to Catholicism and his reference to Jews as “our elder brothers,” allegedly summarizing “what had been noted by the Council.” This anniversary celebration unrepentantly commemorates one of the most catastrophic acts of the conciliar revolution — a public, ceremonial repudiation of the Church’s exclusive claim to be the sole Ark of Salvation and a formal embrace of the religious indifferentism condemned by every Pope up to and including Pius XII.
