Food for thought

I actually sat down this morning and read The Pilot, the weekly newspaper of the Archdiocese of Boston. In it was an article about how the Israeli ambassador to the Vatican is urging Jews to dialogue with Catholics.

The thing that struck me was when the ambassador, Mordechay Lewy, quoted Rabbi David Rosen of the American Jewish Committee, in an article he wrote for the Italian Jewish newspaper. The article was also printed in the Vatican newspaper.

Here's what he wrote that struck me so much:

"Claiming an absolute possession of truth would be to claim God's action in human hearts is limited."

I like that. I like it a lot.

Ohhh, boy. First politics, now religion. I'm sure I'm in for it, now.
