Catholics are called to reject antisemitism and the lies and conspiracies that fuel it, and to stand clearly against hatred and violence directed toward our Jewish brothers and sisters. To defend religious freedom with integrity, we must also reject antisemitism. @ArchbishpSample @archdpdx Watch the full video at: ow.ly/sYF550Yw6cA

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample Hey @USCCB, were all of our Church Fathers, Saints and Apostles Anti-Semites?

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample Catholic teaching on religious freedom is that Catholics recognise, promote, defend the one true faith - Catholicism, but must not coerce people to become Catholic. You seem to be defining religious freedom in terms of Catholics must defend false faiths, too? Please clarify.

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample Are Palestinian and Lebanese Christians entitled to religious freedom?

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample St. Jerome: "God was punishing the Jews with perpetual slavery for their murder of Jesus."

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample Thanks, but I’ve read the Epstein emails, and as the jews were molesting children, they were mocking Christ. And some jew cutting you a check isn’t going to change that.

Yeah, this has to be stepped up like many freaking levels. I’m sorry, this isn’t good enough. I was baptized Catholic and went through RCIA 12 years ago. There is NOTHING in Catholic teaching that supports hatred of Jews. Nothing. But SOMEHOW, Catholics online are twisting the faith to justify antisemitism and speaking as if they represent the Magisterium. Newly converted Catholics leaning into this because they think Jew-hate is permissible? Speaking online like they carry the authority of the Holy See? What is happening here? Where is the consistent correction from Church leadership? This cannot stay at the “strongly worded” statement level. Priests and deacons need to address this clearly at the parish level, too. Most of us on this app are disgusted watching trolls and influencer-level accounts with massive reach push this garbage and warp people’s thinking. It is turning into a mob mentality. It’s DISGUSTING and ROTTEN. If this isn’t confronted directly, it will keep spreading. This is serious, and it’s getting worse. We are already behind, and this poison is actively distorting people’s minds. History is not unclear about where this leads, and it NEVER ends well.

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample St. Origen: "The Jews are responsible for the death of Christ; Christians are the true Israel."

1. Define antisemitism. You didn't, you just used it as a blanket term. Criticism of talmudic judaism is perfectly acceptable as a Catholic and anything that is anti-Christ. Criticizing the state of Israel is not antisemitism. 2. Catholics are not persecuting Jews, MUSLIMS are persecuting Christians and Jews 3. Why did you separate the terms "conspiracies" and "lies" - would that imply that conspiracies are true? Conspiracy does not = lie 4. Why are you preaching to us as Catholics when MUSLIMS are literally slicing off the heads of Christians and Jews? 5. The framing of this video is suggesting that Catholics are persecuting Jews. This is absolutely not true. 6. This is bad framing, bad timing, and very odd overall considering the statistics that Christians are the #1 persecuted religious group in the world. In charity, CM

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample "The jewish Community is attacked at a far higher rate than any other religious group in the United States." Are you kidding me? Christians including Catholics are the most persecuted in the world, also Jews get attacked by Muslims, not Catholics Shame on you for lying

Yes, we all agree with that. But, uh, why do you do this now, knowing full well that people will use this against people like @CarriePrejean1? They'll think you accuse her of antisemitism. Do you believe that Catholics who don't blindly support Israel are antisemitic? Do Catholics suddenly have to be zionists, in your eyes? Since when did this change happen, exactly?

Thank you, and Amen, the Most Reverend Archbishop Alexander K. Sample, Archbishop of Portland. There is no place for hatred against any human. Teaching of, and misinterpreting, scriptures to hate, subjugate, and enslave humans is what pushes people away from religions. Time to show the unity and peace in religions.

Do not be deceived by the synagogue of Satan. Follow what Jesus said. John 8:44 – Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample

Antisemitism is a sin, we can all agree. Why? Because HATE is a sin. It is sinful to hate any group based on their race or ethnicity. It is NOT antisemitic to be critical of the nation-state of Israel and their actions. It is NOT antisemitic to quote the Doctrines of the Catholic Church. Why do you conflate issues rather than use this opportunity to PROPERLY CATECHIZE both Catholics and non-Catholics. If you're afraid of what the Catechism and the Church teach, then find someone who isn't!

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample This is how christians are treated by Jews in Jerusalem. Jesus would not like what you say.

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample St. John Chrysostom is a Church Father, Canonized Saint, Doctor of the Church, and Incorruptible. Who are you again? St. John Chrysostom: "It is the duty of all Christians to hate the Jews." @Pontifex

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample Lol

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample pointless because everything is "antisemetic"

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample We don't hate Jews, we just don't want them in charge of anything in a Christian society, or any society for that matter. Hope this clears things up.

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism Zionism is a great heresy and evil Please condemn Zionism and prove we are not infiltrated

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample I can't be a Christian and hate Jews, it is not possible. Christianity originated from Judaism.

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample I went to your 20th anniversary mass in Portland. There was messaging about this during the mass and it did not feel appropriate. Antisemitism doesn’t mean anything, and the Jews rejected Christ. Religious “freedom” is not the official position of the church historically or today

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample We will submit to a Catholic definition of Anti-semitism. We will NEVER submit to the IHRA definition of antisemitism that demonizes any Catholic opposing Israel, and and any Catholic citing certain scripture passages. WE NEED MORE! x.com/i/status/20340…

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample Please define your terms. What exactly is "anti-Semitism?" Are Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 anti-Semitic?

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample The orthodox patriarchs of the holy land would like to have a word.

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample Say what?

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample If you are a dispensationalist, you are not a catholic. It goes directly against the church's teachings. Jews must accept Christ. Christ is King.

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample Catholicism tells me that Jesus is my savior. I will disagree with anyone that tries to tell me I must bless a Country or government in order to be blessed and I will dislike any politicians or individuals that use tricks to send our soldiers to war for such heretics.

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample Amen!

No one serious is defending antisemitism, but turning that into a blanket requirement to align with specific political positions is where this goes off track. Rejecting hatred and defending religious freedom shouldn’t be used as a shield to shut down legitimate questions or debate!

Thank you, Archbishop Sample. American Catholics and American Jews have a shared history of discrimination and it's an honor to fight alongside you. As a Christian country, we must continue to encourage young American Christians to return to their faith, learn the Bible, and live a life in accordance with God

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample Stop succumbing to zionist pressure to denounce Catholic teachings. The New Testament is very clear.

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample 'Let us pray also for the perfidious Jews: that our God and Lord would remove the veil from their hearts, that they also may acknowledge our Lord Jesus Christ."

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample For nearly two thousand years, the Pre Vatican II catholic church and popes explicitly and vehemently disagrees. Vatican II was Jewish infiltration. So no.

@USCCB @ArchbishpSample x.com/grok/status/20…

You DO realize Israel is actively killing Christians in Lebanon? They have killed beloved priests and bombed churches and closed The Church of The Holy Sepulcher and barricaded the tomb where Jesus was buried. Will you condemn the Israeli government and IDF for committing such atrocities against Christians?
