Jews Changed the Catholic Church,
\nClaims New Book<\/strong><\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"A new book by John Connelly, professor of history at the University of California, Berkeley, has claimed that Jewish \u201cconverts\u201d to Catholicism were the main drivers behind the 1962 \u201cVatican II\u201d Declaration which completely reversed that church\u2019s approach to Jews and religion.<\/p>\n

Writing in his book \u201cFrom Enemy to Brother: the Revolution in Catholic Teaching on the Jews, 1933-1965,\u201d (Harvard University Press, 2012), Connelly says that the Vatican II declaration contained a a statement on non-Christian religions, known by its Latin title, Nostra Aetate (\u201cIn our times\u201d).<\/p>\n

Part four of this declaration, a statement on the Jews, said that Christ, his mother and the apostles were Jews, and that the church had its origin in the Old Testament. It denied that the Jews may be held collectively responsible for Jesus Christ\u2019s death, and, citing the Letter of St. Paul to the Romans, Nostra Aetate called the Jews \u201cmost beloved\u201d by God.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese words seem commonsensical today, but they staged a revolution in Catholic teaching,\u201d Connolly said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bishops found themselves relying on tiny groups of experts who had cared enough to amass the unusual intellectual qualifications for this task.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I discovered while researching my recently published book, \u201cFrom Enemy to Brother: The Revolution in Catholic Teaching on the Jews, 1933\u20131965,\u201d these experts did not begin their work in the 1960s.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom outposts in Austria and Switzerland, several had tried to formulate Catholic arguments against anti-Semitism under the shadow of Nazism three decades earlier.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were as unrepresentative of Catholicism as one can imagine.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only were they, Central Europeans, brave enough to stand up to Hitler when it counted, but they mostly had not been born Catholic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Catholics who helped bring the church to recognition of the continuing sanctity of the Jewish people were converts, many of them from Jewish families.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost important was Johannes Oesterreicher, born in 1904 into the home of the Jewish veterinarian Nathan and his wife, Ida, in Stadt-Liebau, a German-language community in northern Moravia.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Connolly, Oesterriecher was \u201ctook part in Zionist scouting and acted as elected representative of the Jews in his high school,\u201d but later converted to Catholocism.<\/p>\n

He then became active in anti-Nazi propaganda in Austria, where he and his friend, theologian Karl Thieme, penned a Catholic statement on the Jews, arguing that Jews \u201ccarried a special holiness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oesterreicher left Austria after the Anschluss, and went to Paris where he broadcast radio propaganda against the Third Reich. When France was invaded, he fled to New York and Seton Hall University, \u201cwhere he became the leading expert on relations with Jews in America\u2019s Catholic Church,\u201d Connolly says.<\/p>\n

In the years that followed, Oesterricher and a number of Jewish \u201cconverts\u201d had to \u201cstage a revolution in a church that claimed to be unchanging,\u201d Connolly continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey did so by shifting church teaching to Paul\u2019s letter to the Romans, chapters 9\u201311, where the Apostle, without speaking of baptism or conversion, proclaims that the Jews remain \u201cbeloved of God\u201d and that \u201call Israel will be saved.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLike Oesterreicher, the thinkers who did the intellectual work that prepared this revolution were overwhelmingly converts.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoon after the war, Thieme joined with concentration camp survivor Gertrud Luckner to publish the Freiburger Rundbrief in southwest Germany, where they made crucial theological breakthroughs on the path to conciliation with the Jews.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Paris, the Rev. Paul D\u00e9mann, a converted Hungarian Jew, began publishing the review Cahiers Sioniens and, with the help of fellow converts Geza Vermes and Ren\u00e9e Bloch, refuted the anti-Judaism in Catholic school catechisms.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 1961, Oesterreicher was summoned for work in the Vatican II committee tasked with the \u201cJewish question,\u201d which became the most difficult issue to face the bishops.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt one critical moment in October 1964, priests Gregory Baum and Bruno Hussar joined Oesterreicher in assembling what became the final text of the council\u2019s decree on the Jews, voted on by the bishops a year later.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike Oesterreicher, Baum and Hussar were converts of Jewish background.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were continuing a trend going back to the First Vatican Council in 1870, when the brothers L\u00e9mann \u2014 Jews who had become Catholics and priests \u2014 presented a draft declaration on relations between the church and Jews, stating that Jews \u201care always very dear to God\u201d because of their fathers and because Christ has issued from them \u201caccording to the flesh.\u201d<\/p>\n
