Can you be a Jewish Catholic? At first glance, the idea could seem scandalous. Catholics affirm that Jesus is the Messiah; Jews do not. Jews hold that the Torah's precepts should be diligently kept; Catholic Christians hold that Christ has fulfilled the law. Can they really be reconciled?

Yet Jesus, a Jew, tells us that salvation comes from the Jews (Jn 4:22). Pope Pius XII once remarked, Spiritually, we [Catholics] are all Semites. In a sense, Christians are Jews by adoption, as Saint Paul writes to the Romans. Since the days of Peter and Paul, the Church has struggled to understand her close yet complex relationship with the people from whom she came, at times stressing stark differences, at times treasuring their close brotherhood.
