The Mystery of Israel: Jews, Hebrew Catholics, Messianic Judaism, the Catholic Church, and the Mosaic Ceremonial Laws
Open accessAbstract
15.7k length. This is being assessed by two readers. The article attends to the challenges posed by the Council of Florence and other papeal teachings related to the Jews, that draw on Augustine and Aquinas viz. the mosaic rituals are dead and deadening. The argument of the article situates these teachings contextually to argue (a) that they cannot be applied to Judaism as currently understood within more recent magisterial teachings; (b) within this new context, they provide the resources to see these liturgical rituals as valid and enlivening; (c) that some contemporary debates could be resolved in the light of this analysis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
