the Eastern Orthodox faith looks interesting, i think they're churches look amazing


Why thank you ^_^ Being half Greek and half Polish I was raised Orthodox and not Catholic. I'll tell you, while I am a deist now, Orthodoxy is very open and doesn't attain many of the hypocrisies Catholicism does... not to mention it has little to no historical evil doing.

They are free to do their own thing. We are always interested to see how other religions view us though. This recent article did not make it to you because no American or British newspaper found it worth the news. Shock yourself:

Shocking, 90 year old member of a fringe sect makes a stupid comment (and the man is known for making stupid remarks) and it doesn't make American or British newspapers.

The former Chief Rabbi of Israel and an authority on the Torah is a member of a fringe sect? You must not know anything about Orthodox Judaism.

More like a belief, and yes, it is noteworthy. When a insignificant Polish priest said the Jews exploit the Holocaust and downplay non-Jewish victims, it caused an uproar in all the newspapers, so what gives?

Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel, makes a bit of a difference. And he hasn't held that position for a quarter of a decade. His comments have been routinely condemned. Keep in mind, this is a guy that blames the holocaust on Jews.

So you're just trying to prove a point? You don't really believe what you're writing?

So, the Sephardim are a fringe sect now? And the Chief Rabbi of Israel is selected for his of knowledge of the Torah, the Talmud, and

Rabbi Ovadia Yosef (Hebrew: עובדיה יוסף‎) (born September 23, 1920) is a Mizrahi Haredi rabbi, Talmudic scholar, and recognized halakhic authority. Born in Baghdad, Iraq,[1] he is the former Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel.[2] Yosef is also the current spiritual leader of the Shas political party in the Israeli Knesset. He is highly revered[citation needed] in the Orthodox Jewish world, especially in the Sephardi and Mizrahi communities, for his erudition and Torah scholarship. He is among the most important poskim of the past few generations and is regarded by many as the foremost Rabbinical authority and a source of Daat Torah. He has been referred to as the Posek HaDor ("Posek of the present Generation"), Gadol HaDor ("great/est (one of) the generation"), Maor Yisrael ("The Light of Israel") and Maran.

Yosef's halakhic responsa are highly regarded within Orthodox circles and are considered binding in many Mizrahi communities, among whom he is regarded as "the most important living halachic authority.".[3] Yosef's responsa are noted for citing almost every source regarding a specific topic and are often referred to simply as indices of all previous rulings.

I would respond, but this is gibberish.

Please, you made it look like it was "The Chief Rabbi", leader of the Jews. The fringe sect comes from his current position.

Anyway, again, just to keep it into context. This is a guy that is routinely condemned by groups in Israel and abroad, including the ADL. Statements like the Jews were at fault for the holocaust.

You should respond. You're upset about the Pieronek story? You see this as a double standard. Sound about right? For what it's worth, the Pieronek bit wasn't exactly headline news. If you're talking about the Pope's spiritual adviser likening the fight against child molestation to the persecution of the Jews during the Holocaust, then yea, that was headline news and can't be compared (no condemnation, current position of power, much more relevant to Europe considering the number of Catholics here).

I mentioned it, which far from me being upset. Has it ever occured to you that the good rabbi is just telling it like it is? After all, he is speaking from a point of authority. He can back up what he is saying. The Talmud met fire in various European countries for this reason, that is once it was translated from Hebrew. Read it yourself.

If you can quote their God saying that He will never punish straying Jews again, his statement might be debatable. Jews were routinely punished by God. It is what you southerners call "If you ain't living right..."

He's not the chief rabbi, he's a controversial figure in a fringe political party. He's been decried by plenty of normal sane people.

There's more than just that. Jews used to write all kinds of crazy things which are no longer supported by the mainstream. Have a read through the old testament.

It brought the same outrage as the Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell comments.

Just don't see why a guy known for making controversial statements, and is condemned on a regular basis for them fro his own community, should make front page news in Britain and the US.

When you say fringe, I don't think you mean the same thing I would call fringe:
Following the 2009 elections in which Shas won 11 seats, it joined Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition government and holds four cabinet posts. Its current leader, Eli Yishai, is one of four Deputy Prime Ministers, and Minister of Internal Affairs.

What is mainstream? Non-religious Jews, or ones who follow Judaism? If they do, they don't have an option to choose and pick what they like in the Holy books. And what you wanted to say, "Rabbis used to write..." Judaism is not exactly a religion of love. How about a joke? Gold is telling his friend a joke: "One day Cohen and Levin are walking..." His friend gets indignant: "Cohen and Levin, Levin and Cohen, why are all your jokes about Jews? Why can't it be about the Chinese for once?" Gold, surprised, replies: "You're right, OK, so, one day Su Mung Lu and Mao Tsu Nu were going to Su Mung Lu nephew's bar mitzvah...

Oedipus, Shmedipus, what's important is that he loved his mother. You gotta love Jewish humor.
