"the president of the Conference of European Rabbis, Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt called on Pope Benedict XVI to halt the Vatican talks with "extremist" Catholic groups such as the SSPX.
"Comments like these take us back decades to the dark days before there was a meaningful and mutually respectful dialogue between Jews and Roman Catholics,” the CER president, who is chief rabbi of Moscow, declared, adding: "There must be no rapprochement within the Catholic Church for those of its flock who seek to preach words of hate."
He pointed out that Williamson was not the only one in the brotherhood who accuses Jews of deicide. Last month, another senior SSPX cleric, Abbot Régis de Cacqueray, the superior of the French Province of the Pius Brotherhood, also accused Jews of killing God's son. “Pope Benedict has shown a commitment to fostering a spirit of positive dialogue with Jews both before and during his papacy. But he must clearly show that there is no room in the Catholic Church for purveyors of hate."
