We hope that it is clear that
the Transalpine Redemptorists
want every Jewish person
to look upon us as their brothers.
We condemn all forms of Antisemitism
including anti-semitic conspiracy theories.
We make our own these words spoken by
Pope Pius XI:
"Mark well that in the Catholic Mass,
Abraham is our Patriarch and forefather.
Antisemitism is incompatible with the lofty thought
which that fact expresses.
It is a movement with which we Christians
can have nothing to do.
No, no, I say to you
it is impossible for a Christian
to take part in Antisemitism.
It is inadmissible.
Through Christ and in Christ
we are the spiritual progeny of Abraham.
Spiritually, we [Christians] are all Semites."

With
Pope Benedict XVI
at
Yad Vashem
we say:
The Holocaust,
the Shoah,
was a horrific tragedy of sufferings
that should never be denied, belittled or forgotten.
