Steubenville, Ohio — “The Jewish religion is not ‘extrinsic’ to us, but in a certain way is ‘intrinsic’ to our own religion. With Judaism, therefore, we have a relationship that we do not have with any other religion. You are our dearly beloved brothers, and in a certain way, it could be said that you are our elder brothers.”
A statement from Catholics released at Franciscan University as part of an initiative co-sponsored by the Philos Project echoes the words above, which Pope John Paul II delivered in April 1986 at the Great Synagogue of Rome.
