Bishop Brennan and Cardinal Dolan highlighted the tensions surrounding the Jewish High Holy Days, stating that while it's a time for celebration, the somber remembrance of the tragic events of Oct. 7 shadows the festivities. Their heartfelt message acknowledged the suffering and losses of all innocent lives caught in the ongoing violence, stressing a collective sorrow for the tragedies faced by Israelis and Palestinians alike.
In their joint statement, the bishops expressed deep regret over the Catholic Church's historical failure to combat anti-Semitism effectively, affirming a renewed commitment to stand against it and support solidarity among all faiths in combating intolerance. Their pledge represents a powerful call to action for religious communities to unite against hatred and foster understanding.
