From Msgr. William A. Carew

From Archbishop Raymond L. Burke

Ed. Extracted from a letter to David Moss, dated May 19, 2006; included in The Hebrew Catholic, #83.

First of all, permit me to express my esteem for the apostolate of the Association of Hebrew Catholics. The mission of your association responds, in a most fitting way, to the desire of the Church to respect fully the distinct vocation and heritage of Israelites in the Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Church knows and treasures the particular and privileged part in the economy of salvation, assigned by God the Father to the People Israel.

Invoking God’s blessing upon Kathleen and you, and upon your most worthy apostolate, I am

Yours devotedly in Christ,
Signed by (Most Rev.) Raymond L. Burke, Archbishop of St. Louis
