John Allen har skrevet en analyse av hvorfor pave Benedikt gj\u00f8r tilsynelatende selvmotsigende ting, som \u00e5 si mye fint om katolikkers forhold til j\u00f8dene, samtidig som han har gjeninnf\u00f8rt b\u00f8nna som ber om deres omvendelse. Jeg syns personlig at Allen overdriver disse s\u00e5kalte motsetningene; de b\u00f8r vel betraktes som journalistiske grep for \u00e5 f\u00e5 fram et hovedpoeng – som er pavens \u00f8nske om \u00e5 styrke den (tradisjonelle) katolske identitetet. Allen definerer denne identiteten p\u00e5 f\u00f8lgende m\u00e5te:<\/p>\n
… … Here it is in a nutshell: Benedict\u2019s top priority is internal, directed at the inner life of the Catholic Church. His aim is to restore a strong sense of traditional Catholic identity, in order to inoculate the church against infection by radical secularism. That\u2019s not just a personal hobbyhorse of this pope, but rather the culmination of 50 years of mounting concern inside Catholicism that the church has gone too far in accommodating the ways and means of the secular world<\/strong>. Today, this wave of \u201cevangelical Catholic\u201d energy is the most important policy-setting force in the church.<\/p>\n As a result, when Benedict XVI says or does things that affect Judaism, the key is often to understand that he\u2019s not really talking to Jews but to other Catholics.<\/p>\n Thus, Benedict\u2019s decision to revive the old Latin Mass, including that infamous prayer for the conversion of Jews, was certainly not crafted as a statement about Judaism. Instead, Benedict sees the old Mass as a classic carrier of Catholic identity, an antidote to any tendency to secularize the church\u2019s worship<\/strong>. Likewise, Benedict did not lift the excommunications of four traditionalist bishops, including one who believes the Nazis didn\u2019t use gas chambers, to endorse their troubled history with antisemitism. Rather, he did so because the traditionalists act as a leaven in the church, fostering appreciation for the Catholic past \u2014 even if their ideas on some matters lie far from the pope\u2019s own thinking. … … <\/font><\/i><\/p>\n Hele stykket kan leses HER<\/a> – tips fra Father Z<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" John Allen har skrevet en analyse av hvorfor pave Benedikt gj\u00f8r tilsynelatende selvmotsigende ting, som \u00e5 si mye fint om katolikkers forhold til j\u00f8dene, samtidig som han har gjeninnf\u00f8rt b\u00f8nna som ber om deres omvendelse.
