That may be, forgive me for not totally being up on it - we're not really required to be experts on the matter, but at least the symbolism is there. Part of the church's teachings are that Jesus WAS Jewish and that we're required to respect that, but the two religions do differ on whether He was the Messiah or not. We accept it, Jews reject it and it's all good.But let's put it this way - there's no Catholic or Christian "symbol" that is shaped like a Menorah, that's not part of our religion. That it even remotely looks like one is at least an attempt. Beyond that, I have no further explanation. Hope this helps. |
