What may seem like a harmless or even enriching interfaith gesture has deeper theological implications. In this video, I explore what the Church has historically taught—through the Council of Florence, St. Thomas Aquinas, and papal encyclicals—about observing the ritual prescriptions of the Old Covenant. I also share my personal experience and why this debate reveals much about modern confusion around interfaith dialogue. If we believe that the Mass is the fulfillment of the Old Law, then what does it mean to reenact a ritual that anticipates something we already possess?

Can Catholics Celebrate Jewish Passover?
As Mr Holdsworth points out, NO.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
