Star of David was and still is a symbol that was present for the people of God! There is and will always be that relation. It will never die out with another.

You have shown your own ignorance.

"The Magen David (shield of David, or as it is more commonly known, the Star of David) is the symbol most commonly associated with Judaism today, but it is actually a relatively new Jewish symbol. It is supposed to represent the shape of King David’s shield (or perhaps the emblem on it), but there is really no support for that claim in any early rabbinic literature. In fact, the symbol is so rare in early Jewish literature and artwork that art dealers suspect forgery if they find the symbol in early works."

The earliest known communal usage of the Star of David is in the Middle Ages, how ironic.
 
My sister was home from the convent this weekend. She said there have been several reports of ghosts in their building.

There are some scary, scary court documents from Austria that might beg to differ with you on whether vampires are real.

I incline to the same view of them that I do of ghosts (considering that in the real legends, they are ghosts–what Japanese parapsychology would call onryou or yuurei, hate-ghosts): they’re not impossible, lots of not-stupid people claim to have encountered them, so I must concede the possibility, while not being over-credulous of any particular story.

As for werewolves, well, I live far too close to the Navajo rez to be particularly skeptical of shapeshifting witches.

I think that like ghosts perhaps vampires could exist in result from demons.

By being Catholics…we are Christian. Most Catholics are NOT Jewish in ancestry. The confusing “ecumenically correct by Vatican II standards” statement that you made is simply laughable.

God chose the Jews as the people among whom the promised Saviour would live; for this reason we call the Jews the “chosen people”. God prepared them for the coming of the Saviour: by heavy trials, by severe laws, by miracles, by prophecies.

The selection of the Jews did not mean rejection by God of the other nations. Every renewal of God’s promise recalled blessings in which all were to share. Even among other nations there were just men. In Greece, Socrates spoke against the worship of idols. Holy Job lived in Arabia. The Magi were of the East. Virgil the poet prayed the* virgin-born *son to come and reign over His people.
The Saviour of all men is Jesus Christ. The Jewish religion foreshadowed the coming of the perfect religion, that established by Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who then abrogated the Jewish Faith, the Old Law, in favor of the New Faith, the New Law.

This is basic Catechism. And to attempt to reconcile the Catholic Faith as being one and the same with the Jewish Faith is blasphemous, heretical, and scandalous.

Look just because you are a schismatic SSPX member doesn’t mean you have to bash our faith. Open up the Catechism and look at what it says, we are the fulfilled Jewish faith. We now call our selves Catholics. Please keep your Antisemitic remarks away from me. By the way I am probably one of the most conservative Catholics out there. I dislike many of the changes from Vatican II, however I will not become a schismatic person just from that. I follow Pope Benedict XVI on what he says.
As a side note, I too once dressed in all black all of the time with that “Gothic” mindset which is nothing more than a form of vanity and worldliness.

I don’t think so and you don’t have to give people a hard time about there clothing style. It doesn’t hurt anyone and if done stylishly can look quite nice.

All Catholics are Jewish in ancestory, not biological but spirtiual. Our religion is the new Judaism. Today’s Jews pratice the Old Judaism, they still wait for the Messiah. We pratice the new, because we know the Messiah has come.

Not one and the same, but a continuence. Like I said above, we pratice the “New Judaism”

Gratias

But it isn’t just my clothes that are black and that isn’t why she upsets me. My soul is black, and that’s what she doesn’t understand. I belive the world is shrouded in darkness, and only Christ can bring about the dawn. I will wear black until I enter the presents of my King, and then and only then will my soul become white. I will become the white rose, but until I stand in the presents of the One who Was, Is, and Shall Aways Be, ego sum niger rosa.

Do you really think that calling me a schismatic is hurtful? What does it prove? That you have no tolerance for the TRUTH? That you throw about accusations that are false? I could care less…because the real schismatics are those who teach error and that which is contrary to our faith and all in the name of “Catholic”. To be Catholic in name only accomplishes nothing. It is a mere facade, a fake front that is adopted by those who do not follow doctrine. Those who would change our faith to be different from the faith as practiced for nearly two centuries by popes, bishops, saints, martyrs, and doctors of the church. Either the church was wrong for near two thousand years, or the church began forty years ago…you can’t have it both ways. I know which side I will choose.

I follow the Bishop of Rome who has always sat on the Throne of St. Peter. Regardless of the teachings they are making now, I don’t agree with all of them. However I follow the Pope. As Christians have since 33 AD. You follow the false SSPX Pope. Who is really no Pope at all. Do you think Christ would really let the Church He established crumble into nothing. No you are the schism not us.

The SSPX follows the same pope as you, or hadn’t you heard? Do you just make up slanderous statements to mislead the unknowing?
