Rabbi calls for New International Ecumenism in Defense of Morality

Leading U.S. Rabbi calls for New International Ecumenism in Defense of Morality

No theology, no dialogue, no apologies…Just joining together to preserve our Godly values.


Sounds good to me. There is a place and time for theological discussions. But I'm not a theologian, I just want to work to get things done.

In his meeting with the Pope, Rabbi Levin pledged the support of the Orthodox Jewish community to the Catholic Church’s efforts in combating moral decay in Western society.

“I might seem now to be speaking in almost a prophetic way. I have the blood of prophets in my veins. I am saying with certitude—with a logical certitude—that the group in Western Civilization and perhaps in World Civilization with the most potential to act as a catalyst for a moral counterattack, pushing back the barbarians who stand against the gates of Rome and Jerusalem . . . are Catholics. You don’t have to be a prophet to understand that,” Rabbi Levin told LifeSiteNew.com at the time .

“And the personality whom God has placed at the top: I couldn’t have prayed, as an Orthodox Jew, for a better person.”

About Me

My photo
Catholic and politically conservative, I graduated with a BA in History (concentration in American) and Political Science. I'm between two parishes; one in Wisconsin that is fairly traditional, and one in Illinois that is fairly liberal. I teach CCD. I work in the food service industry, which basically means I'm working in fast food until I find a better job. I'd like to work for the church somehow. Right now I'm working on getting my teaching certification, although I'm unsure thats the correct path for me. This blog is as random as I am. I hope you enjoy.
