Anti-Defamation League troubled by US bishops’ clarification on Jews and conversion June 23, 2009

The Anti-Defamation League has reacted with concern to “A Note on Ambiguities Contained in Reflections on Covenant and Mission,” which was released last week by the US bishops’ doctrine committee.

“This document, if taken at face value, reintroduces the notion that Catholics can use interfaith dialogue as a means to invite Jews to Christian baptism,” said Anti-Defamation League National Director Abraham Foxman. “If so, then it is unacceptable, for such a statement would foster mistrust between Jews and Catholics and undermine years of work building a positive relationship based on mutual trust and respect of our differences in faith.”
