[QUOTE="imacatholic2, post: 1996306, member: 379887"] No. But you can learn about and respect the Jewish heritage of both your father and the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church officially teaches: When she delves into her own mystery, the Church, the People of God in the New Covenant, discovers her link with the Jewish People, "the first to hear the Word of God. The Jewish faith, unlike other non-Christian religions, is already a response to God's revelation in the Old Covenant. To the Jews "belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ"; "for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable." Neither all Jews indiscriminately at that time, nor Jews today, can be charged with the crimes committed during the Passion of Jesus Christ. The Jews should not be spoken of as rejected or accursed as if this followed from Holy Scripture. For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 597 and 839: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt1sect2chpt2art4p2.shtml#597 http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt1sect2chpt3art9p3.shtml#839 With love in Christ.
