I ask, then, has God rejected his people? Of course not! . . . For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable. (Rom 11:1-2, 11-12, 25-29)

In the past Christians have used isolated passages from the Scriptures to justify antisemitism. Following the teaching of Saint Paul the Second Vatican Council strongly condemned antisemitism in all its forms. Saint Charles Borromeo (1538-1584) was Cardinal Archbishop of Milan, Italy, and attended the Council of Trent. He is responsible for the founding of seminaries and of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD).
These reflections are a result of more than 40 years of ministry as a Roman Catholic priest. Most of these years I spent in the Diocese of Charlotte which covers Western North Carolina. Now I am retired, and live in Medellín, Colombia where I continue to serve as a priest in the Archdiocese of Medellín.
