An Open Letter to "Pope" Francis
His Holiness, Pope Francis
Vatican City
January, 2016
Dear Holy Father
I am a Jew. I have the assurance, as did Menachem Mendel Schneerson of Crown Heights, Brooklyn, of direct descent from King David on my father’s side (my mother, I was assured was descended of Hillel).
I
am 74-years-old. I converted to the Roman Catholic Church at the age of
17 in the last year of the pontificate of Pope Pius XII. I did so
because I was under the conviction that I had to accept and have faith
that Jesus Christ was my savior, and I believed it. And I believed that I
had to be a baptized member of his Church to have a chance of
salvation. So I converted and was baptized in the Catholic Church, and
then I was confirmed.
Over
the years I have contributed tens of thousands of dollars to both
Peters’ Pence (the pope’s own treasury about which you of course must be
very familiar), and my local parish and diocese.
During
that time I attended thousands of Masses, hundreds of holy hours and
novenas, said thousands of rosaries, and made hundreds of trips to the
Confessional.
Now
in 2015 and 2016 I have read your words and those of your “Pontifical
Commission.” You now teach that because I am a racial Jew, God’s
covenant with me was never broken, and cannot be broken. You don’t
qualify that teaching by specifying anything I might do that would
threaten the Covenant, which you say God has with me because I am a Jew.
You teach that it’s an unbreakable Covenant. You don’t even say that it
depends on me being a good person. Logically speaking, if God’s
Covenant with me is unbreakable, then a racial Jew such as I am can do
anything he wants and God will still maintain a Covenant with me and I
will go to heaven.
Your
Pontifical Commission wrote last December, “The Catholic Church neither
conducts nor supports any specific institutional mission work directed
towards Jews…it does not in any way follow that the Jews are excluded
from God’s salvation because they do not believe in Jesus Christ as the
Messiah of Israel and the Son of God.”
You
are the Pontiff. I believe what your Commission teaches under your
banner and in your name, and what you declared during your visit to the
synagogue in January. As a result, I no longer see any point in getting
up every Sunday morning to go to Mass, say rosaries, or attend the Rite
of Reconciliation on Saturday afternoon. All of those acts are
superfluous for me. Predicated on your teaching, I now know that due to
my special racial superiority in God’s eyes, I don’t need any of it.
I
don’t see any reason now as to why I was baptized in 1958. There was no
need for me to be baptized. I no longer see why there was a need for
Jesus to come to earth either, or preach to the Jewish children of
Abraham of his day. As you state, they were already saved as a result of
their racial descent from the Biblical patriarchs. What would they need
him for?
In
light of what you and your Pontifical Commission have taught me, it
appears that the New Testament is a fraud, at least as it applies to
Jews. All of those preachings and disputations to the Jews were for no
purpose. Jesus had to know this, yet he persisted in causing a lot of
trouble for the Jews by insisting they had to be born again, they had to
believe he was their Messiah, they had to stop following their
traditions of men, and that they couldn’t get to heaven unless they
believed that he was the Son of God.
Your
holiness, you and your Commission have instructed me in the true path
to my salvation: my race. It’s all I need and all I have ever needed. God has a covenant with my genes. It’s my genes that save me. My eyes are open now.
Consequently,
you will be hearing from my lawyer. I am filing suit against the papacy
and the Roman Catholic Church. I want my money back, with interest, and
I am seeking compensatory and punitive damages for the psychological
harm your Church caused me, by making me think I needed something
besides my own exalted racial identity, in order to go to heaven after I
die.
I
am litigating as well over the time that I wasted that I could have
spent working in my business, instead of squandering it worshipping a
Jesus that your Church now says I don’t need to believe in for my
salvation. Your prelates and clerics told me something very different in
1958. I’ve been robbed!
Sincerely,

P.S.
I'm transmitting this letter to Hoffman, an ex-AP reporter from New
York, in the expectation that he will bring it to the attention of those
who should know about it. I am transmitting it to him in the form of a
dream, but nevertheless, it represents the feelings of many victims of
your robber Church.—Pinch
